"Infantino’s greed has ruined the game" - Fans online criticize FIFA World Cup 2026 Final halftime show

The FIFA World Cup 2026 final halftime show lasted more than 20 minutes.

Spain are currently facing Argentina in the last game of the FIFA World Cup 2026, the summit clash at the New York New Jersey Stadium. The match started with La Roja trying to maintain possession, while the defending champions aimed to regain it with their physical style of play.

Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal came close to scoring on a few occasions; however, Emiliano Martinez made brilliant saves to keep the deadlock in place at halftime. Meanwhile, Argentina did not get any significant goalscoring opportunities that could be converted.

However, one piece of unfortunate news came on La Albiceleste’s side as Lisandro Martinez was subbed off due to injury. Nicolas Otamendi was brought in at the Manchester United defender’s place. Nevertheless, one major point of criticism from football fans was the halftime show, introduced for the very first time in the tournament.
