Today is the world cup final. I will be watching it from the air :(
This year’s world cup comes with a complementary halftime show
Why the World Cup half-time show may be a taste of things to come

Half-time at a football game is normally a chance to grab a drink or snack, make a mad dash for the toilets or vent with friends about some questionable refereeing or defending.
But at this year’s World Cup final between Spain and Argentina, for the first time in the tournament’s history, there will be a half-time show - complete with performances from Madonna, Shakira, BTS and Justin Bieber.
It’s already caused controversy in the sporting world as the performance means the break will last up to 25 minutes - when the International Football Association Board (Ifab) states players are entitled to a maximum 15-minute stoppage.
…
The halftime show utilize the attention of the game and I think would be a great improvement. Nevertheless, I’m still surprised that it took so long for it to happen.
Wish me luck with the wifi. Vamos Argentina!!!
