Follow on from the last thread.

Bloody hell is that what Justin Bieber looks like now? If I didn't feel old looking at Madonna when she was an adult when I was at school, I do now!

He didn't mine did he? Leave Barnes alone.

Tell me about your cat’s murdering spree…

It was several handbrake turns ago but I thought it gave ‘outing from the nursing home’ vibes (I’m the same age as her btw)

Tried cuddling my dd to biebers hallelujah - shes moved far away from me 😄😄😄😄

World Cup hullabaloo

At least he could play football.

‘The World Cup hallelujah’. Shoot me now.

I could have gone with it if it was all Shakira

They seem to have forgotten this is a football match! I suppose we should be grateful the play off match wasn’t seen as that important so we didn’t have to put with something like this

Americans ruin everything!

Laughably dreadful.

Like bts but not like this.

It may be my age but i sometimes think humanity is fucked .

😃😃😃 I don't think I have ever laughed so incredulously at half time EVER.
JUST WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!!

😃😃😃

Well they couldn’t have got Springsteen, he wouldn’t breathe the same air as Thrump. But they surely have better than this shower, and here she is, shaking her rear-er.

😄

Even Ted Lasso hasn’t made this bearable

The next World Cup final should feature people going round dishing out meat pies & mugs of bovril while everyone moans about the ref. That’s proper football.

Same here
Everything else was shite

Could someone make this stop before the Dallas cheerleaders come cartwheeling on creating a stars and stripes formation by holding coloured fireworks in their mouths.

This is atrocious

Shakira , her lips don’t sing

Who are this pair?

How much more of this shite?

I haven't posted on any of the World Cup threads so far, but knew I couldn't be the only one thinking WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!! so popped on to add my own WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

😂

PS: America, it's not the bloody Superbowl. Please promise never to host the World Cup again. (Kind) Regards, The Rest of the World.

Not a lot renders DH and I speechless, but good holy fuck what on earth even is this!? The crowd were frozen for one whole song but the act moved so looks like they've used AI to generate the crowd in the background?! To credit Bieber he at least seemed to sing love. Madonna wasn't fooling anyone.
