Liam Gallagher<\/strong> has joined the growing list of football figures and fans unhappy with the introduction of a World Cup<\/strong> halftime show.<\/p>\n The Oasis frontman shared his disappointment in a series of posts on X, although he appeared to spare Justin Bieber\u2019s performance from his criticism.<\/p>\n The halftime show represented one in every of the most important changes introduced on the 2026 World Cup, alongside the debut of Super Bowl-style championship rings for the winners and water breaks during each half.<\/p>\n Taking to X<\/a>, Gallagher voiced his displeasure over the World Cup halftime show, which featured a bunch of high-profile artists.<\/p>\n In an initial post, he likened the spectacle to a \u201cbad trip,\u201d although he didn’t elaborate on what he meant.<\/p>\n He later responded to a fan who suggested Oasis would have been perfect for such a stage.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not about us, well it’s, but still it\u2019s absolutely insane behavior it\u2019s cuckoo with a capital K,\u201d the singer wrote.<\/p>\n Gallagher also admitted the show nearly pushed him over the sting.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a very good job I\u2019ve got my spiritual socks on, or that halftime entertainment could have tipped me over the sting,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Despite criticizing the show as an entire, Gallagher seemed to be impressed by Justin Bieber\u2019s performance. The \u201cBaby\u201d singer was a late addition to the World Cup halftime lineup, which also featured global stars including Shakira and BTS.<\/p>\n In a separate post acknowledging Bieber\u2019s appearance, Gallagher simply wrote, \u201cJustin Rules.\u201d He later praised Bieber\u2019s acoustic rendition of \u201cAll the pieces Hallelujah\u201d within the comments of a fan\u2019s post.<\/p>\n The fan wrote, \u201cWho thought Justin Bieber playing some acoustic Hallelujah song was going to slap??\u201d<\/p>\n Gallagher replied, \u201cME,\u201d making it clear that Bieber\u2019s performance was one in every of the few parts of the show he genuinely enjoyed.<\/p>\n Gallagher\u2019s opinion resonated with many fans, who flooded the replies to his posts with similar reactions.<\/p>\n \u201cAmerica actually knows learn how to kill a football match. Utter shocker of a half-time,\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is genuinely nonsense. It doesn\u2019t belong within the World Cup. They’ll have their halftime shows in the course of the Super Bowl,\u201d one other user added, referencing the tradition\u2019s American roots.<\/p>\n A 3rd commented, \u201cAs an American, I\u2019m sorry. We were all equally embarrassed for halftime.\u201d<\/p>\n Yet one more person wrote, \u201cNailed it. It\u2019s giving \u2018I took the mistaken turn and now reality\u2019s glitching\u2019 vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n Beyond the introduction of a halftime show, the 2026 World Cup featured several significant changes.<\/p>\n The most important was the expansion of the tournament from 32 to 48 teams, marking the primary World Cup with that format after seven editions featuring 32 nations dating back to 1998.<\/p>\n FIFA also introduced water breaks, a controversial addition that effectively split each match into 4 periods quite than the normal two uninterrupted halves.<\/p>\n For the primary time in World Cup history, the champions also received bespoke championship rings. Each ring was individually numbered and custom-fitted, featuring the FIFA World Cup trophy on one side and personalized details reflecting the winning nation on the opposite.<\/p>\n FIFA has yet to substantiate whether the World Cup halftime show will return for the 2030 tournament. It also stays unclear whether the bespoke championship rings introduced in 2026 will develop into a everlasting feature.<\/p>\n What’s already confirmed is that the 2030 World Cup<\/a> might be primarily hosted by Morocco, Portugal, and Spain.<\/p>\n As a part of FIFA\u2019s centenary celebrations, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay will each stage one commemorative opening match honoring the inaugural 1930 World Cup, which was held in Uruguay. All six host nations will qualify mechanically for the tournament, while the remaining places might be decided through the standard qualification process.<\/p>\n Speaking ahead of the 2026 final, nevertheless, Trump presented a distinct proposal. \u201cI had an amazing idea for Gianni: You’ve got to do two countries. Announce us again next time, after which announce one other country after that. It\u2019ll take out among the anger and the shock,\u201d Trump\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0Jenny Taft of Fox Sports.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Liam Gallagher has joined the growing list of football figures and fans unhappy with the introduction of a World Cup halftime show.
