The FIFA World Cup final delivered its first ever half-time show, which lasted a record 27 minutes and 22 seconds.The event featured a mix of high-profile artists and unexpected guests, including Madonna, Justin Bieber, the Muppets, BTS, Shakira, and even a cameo from Tom Cruise.While some pundits and celebrities praised elements of the performance, others were less enthusiastic.

Former England striker Wayne Rooney called the show 'crap' after it ended, while Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher joked that the event was 'like a bad trip' and that he needed his 'spiritual socks on' to avoid being overwhelmed.

The performance included Madonna singing 'Music from an underground rollerskating rink' in a car driven by Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, a sudden shift to the Muppets, and a chaotic lineup of K-pop, pop, and religious music.Despite the surreal nature of the show, it was described as a 'fever dream' and a 'New York New Jersey' kind of experience.A-list celebrities like Will Ferrell, Pharrell Williams, and Matt Damon were also spotted in the stands.

The event highlighted the unpredictable and entertaining nature of the World Cup's half-time entertainment, though it's unlikely to be repeated in the future.
