Fifa World Cup 2026

Is this the first time a YouTuber Ishowspeed was part of the halftime performance at a Fifa Final world cup game?

Not nearly that bad over here. Most of the fighting is done outside of the grounds, and usually has nothing to do with football. Having said that, it has definitely calmed down in the last 20-odd years.

He also streamed live a lot of the games maybe this will be a new thing! Or maybe it was just for America

Which is generally not allowed, as only broadcasters are allowed to show the match. Anyone showing any part of a match on their YouTube channel usually has it taken down quite quickly.

Considering the WC is held every four years, just shows how dirty the game has become, and how absolutely useless the officials are. People slate Webb for the 2010 final, but he had to go mental with the cards because the Dutch were basically playing like the Argentinians were last night: antifootball. Didn't want to try and score, just wanted to injure their opponents so they couldn't score.

tbh the world cup and few big tournaments are the only time you see so terrible behaviour

i have watched alot of epl and you hardly see this type of bullying play

you will see hard tackles and pushing but no barbaric behaviour

Interesting point from one fan group about this world cup...

Don't think I heard of even one instance of fan trouble at the stadiums, seems that football fans can get along even if they are all mixed together.

For the most part, international football doesn't really have a problem with hooliganism. Club football is infinitely more ''tribal''.

At international level there are a handful of games you'd worry about and only in extreme cases because of political conflict.

FIFA and UEFA ban Armenia vs Azerbaijan; Spain vs Gibraltar; Ukraine vs Belarus and Kosovo cannot play against Serbia or Bosnia & Herzegovina. They cannot even be drawn in the same qualifying groups. I'd also imagine that Israel vs anybody from North Africa or the Middle East would be avoided in the present climate and a game between Serbia and Croatia, Greece and Turkey or Turkey and Armenia could be quite tense.

But generally speaking, international matches are far more amicable than club football. You could quite easily mix Scottish and English fans for an England vs Scotland game, but no chance in hell will you see Rangers vs Celtic or West Ham vs Millwall in an open stadium.

Saying all of the above, this could change with the world becoming a lot angrier and more hostile, and especially in cases where nationalism is on the rise.

Hopefully Wenger's proposed changes to the rule come through soon: the attacker's ENTIRE BODY has to be ahead of the last defender for it to be called offside.

And, for the love of all that is Holy, could we please go back to raising the flag IMMEDIATELY instead of like 10-15 seconds later? Everyone knows he's off, so does the lino, so just raise your flag, please?

Agreed if its mixed and not a bunched gang of supporters tother its easier to avoid the mob mentality. Another factor is also the prices some of the real ultras who have low level jobs and football is their life can't afford going to the world cup.

I'm guessing they want to allow the goal to be scored in case there's doubt it should only be overturned instead of preventing a goal
 
I find this complaining about the halftime show very funny.

This coming from people watching the most boring sport in the world.
So boring that players are screaming and crying about fake injuries half the match, just for some drama.
Coaches and staff standing the whole match screaming at refs, throwing water bottles etc just for some entertainment for the fans.
You wont see any of this shyte in other decent sports allowed. Only in other boring sports like Baseball.

Yeah, so boring it's watched by and played by more people on the planet than any other sport. And, by the way, it was the first time there's ever been a halftime show at the WC, so not sure what you're on about.

And if you're being such a wet rag, what are you even doing in this thread?
