Soccer—or football, as the rest of the world calls it—is known as the beautiful game for good reason. It is universally accessible and has given us icons like Pelé, Maradona, Sócrates, Platini, Messi, and both Ronaldos.
For a long time, Americans didn’t give a hoot about the sport. However, that all changed when Lionel Messi joined the MLS, and the U.S. was named the primary host of the upcoming World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico.
In a massive first for the tournament, the final will feature a major Super Bowl-style halftime show. Pop icons Madonna, Shakira, and BTS are already booked to entertain fans both in the stadium and watching on screens across the globe.
While the entertainment lineup is massive, it begs the question: is this actually what football fans want? The news definitely didn’t land well with Eugene, and he wasn’t alone on The Joy Ride with Angel Campey.
