2026 FIFA World Cup

[Pittsburgh Footy]

While not a punditry panel to be drawn to much less be appropriate for a WC but probably ideal for American audiences however. Featuring the most palatable foreign hosts (English) to provide daily recap of a foreign sport that has never fully taken root with a foreign comedian Americans love (And his head writer) and are familiar with - it probably will get plenty of ratings for Corden alone

You think "American audiences" will watch "a daily recap of a foreign sport that has never fully taken root"?

Seriously?

The people you're envisioning in your head breathe through their mouths and can't tie their shoes. They ain't watching a soccer show, bro

Everything about this World Cup stinks.

That's something we can all agree on

For a highly mediacized global event taking place in their backyard? Yes, especially when they can skip watching the matches to only tune in for the daily recaps with a funny & familiar host from the land where football originated...yet never perfected

Bro, those people aren't "tuning in" to a soccer recap. Those same people also couldn't pick James Corden out of a lineup

Am I hearing things right that they are actually extending the half time break in the Final.

40yrs ago it was I saw Maradona in the Final
Now it's I saw Madonna in the Final

They've somehow managed to swing the game into quarters, and quarter time interviews with managers, guests, players and celebs.

Two lots of 45 minutes wrapped up in regulation 100 minutes is now on for going well over 2 hours.

I can't imagine what they have in mind for injury time, extra time and penalties.

This isn't football, it is a Frankenstein monster, stitched together and voltage applied until it limps on stage...

Weaknesses: internal squabbling.

Maradona as he is still looks healthier than Madonna.

And egos.

Adrian Rabbiot in that squad is a implosion waiting to happen though.

It’s almost as if that squad is too stacked with talent, just look who they left out !!

Gotta be up there with the Brazil 1998 Nike advert this one!

Here's the HD version on YouTube

They’re both great ads but they aren’t better than this… imo.
