Every world cup opening performance were okay but it didn't feel like a world cup performance maybe because they had 3 openings instead of one, I believe BTS are the only one who could bring life to the finals halftime performance.

Takin' a halftime breather to show some love for the Matthews family! 🙌
We heard it was their first time at an Aces game, so of course we had to upgrade their seats at The House!

I reckon we will hit 60m after the final halftime performance.
Burna Boy has reached a new all-time peak of 39.2 million Spotify monthly listeners ( 800,096).😱

Nostalgia
Halftime interviews are so dumb
1 players are running to go to the toilet(probably)
2 coach has to give instructions to players
3 players have to decompress even for just a few mins
AND ALL IN 15 minutes! Where are they fitting an interview in all that chaos?! FIFA IS IDIOTIC!!
We don’t wanna see halftime interviews this is not the NBA
🚨🚨🚨🚨 عاااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااجل:
• فينيسيوس جونيور يرفض إجراء مقابلة صحفية مع ممثلي الفيفا بين الشوطين:
ـــــ الصحفي لـ فينيسيوس:" ستدفع غرامة بسبب ذلك."
ـــــ فينيسيوس يرد:" سندفع غرامة، و لن يقوم أحد بمقابلات بين الشوطين."

I feel this. I went to sleep after halftime of game 4 and woke up to a shock. Then last night I took a nap in the 3rd and woke up w/ 6 min remaining in the game. Glad I caught the most exciting part though. But I’m also 38 weeks pregnant and have 3 other kids sooooo 🤷🏻♀️

⚽ Press play first. Then read this.
"𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆."
Messi says it. Mbappé says it. Vinícius says it.
And so does a barefoot child kicking a ball in the sand — who may never wear the jersey, but already knows the game belongs to him too.
That one line is why football isn't a sport. It's a language. The only one 8 billion people speak without translation.
Right now, the planet has the fever. And FIFA World Cup 2026 is the biggest stage the game has ever built:
→ 48 teams. 104 matches. 39 days. 16 stadiums.
→ Three nations co-hosting for the first time in history — USA, Canada, Mexico.
→ 1,248 players from 71 countries, all chasing one trophy.
→ Estadio Azteca becomes the first stadium on earth to host three World Cups.
And scoring the festival? Shakira and Burna Boy, with "Dai Dai" — Italian for "come on, come on." The chorus alone carries five languages: dai (Italian), ikou (Japanese), dale (Spanish), allez (French), let's go (English).
An entire World Cup, folded into one hook line.
A few things that made me smile:
• It's Shakira's fourth World Cup anthem. "Waka Waka" crossed a billion streams. She doesn't follow the fever — she starts it.
• Ed Sheeran and Jon Bellion are among the writers. The world's loudest party, written by a quiet room of geniuses.
• Every royalty from the song funds education for disadvantaged children — a $100M goal. The richest game on earth, paying it forward to the kids playing barefoot in the sand.
• And for the first time ever, the Final will close with a Super Bowl-style halftime show.
Here's what I keep coming back to as a strategist:
The World Cup is the purest thing in my world — 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘺.
No brand can buy this. No budget can manufacture it. A nation goes still. A stranger becomes a brother. A single goal becomes a feeling you carry for thirty years.
Maradona's hand and his genius. Beckham's curve. Ronaldo's hunger. Messi's farewell. We forget the scoreline. We never forget how it made us feel.
𝗜𝗻 𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹.
That's the festival. That's the fever. And for 39 days, the whole planet is on the same team.
So tell me 👇 — which moment, which match, which player made 𝘺𝘰𝘶 fall in love with the game?
Follow me, 𝗬𝘂𝘃𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗷 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗮𝗹, for more on the moments where culture, attention and the beautiful game collide.

I hate it when the Browns are ahead at halftime but then flatline and lose in the fourth quarter. The game should keep going until the Browns are ahead.
California governor’s race
On June 3 Hilton was 27.6% and Steyer was 19.7%, a 7.9 point gap.
By June 8 Steyer was 22.4% and Hilton was 25.0%, a 2.6 point gap.
The formula needed roughly 3 more days of counting to get Steyer past Hilton. The pattern stopped the same day Steyer conceded. The numbers flatlined.
The bottom panel shows the gap closing in a perfect straight line and exactly where it would have crossed zero if the pattern had continued.
