Follow on from the last thread.

A pointless half time show and now on the BBC an ad about how great the BBC is and how they don't have ads

This is cringy.

Please god, never let America host the World Cup again.

Not so much hate but feeling sorry for them. They are missing so much - and don’t even realise.

Made pasta sauce for tomorrow’s dinner. BBC doing an advert for itself.

Did they show him during the half time show?

I actually forgot that I'm watching the World Cup Final for a while then. Get this shit off!

I put bbc news on- this is at least trying to talk football, don't know what the actual pundits are doing though.

What I've seen and heard (in the background) is fucking awful. I thought they going to put on a show, haven't got a clue what the shite they're showing should be called, but it doesn't match my view of entertainment.

Yes, are we going to have big bird soon or Barney preaching about love and harmony

Well there’s a day long ad for the BBC, but Madonna has left the pitch! Or it could have been Miss Piggy…

What the hell was that almighty shit show.
Where did the football go?
Americans don’t understand anything do they?
Now we’ve got a BBC ad.

Phew, we’re back!!

The bbc have done a lot for Romesh it seems.

A plug for paying your TV license??

i never thought I’d hear the words ‘football match’ and ‘half time show’ in the same sentence

DS was momentarily very confused about why the World Cup half time show was showing the Eastenders set 😂

I'm surprised Paul McCartney isn't there.

For once I’m with Rooney

God bless Wayne Rooney 🤣

Well done Rooney!

I know it's awful, I love the muppets but come on,...

Did Rooney just call it crap live on air?

BTS were worth it though !

Most sense Wayne Rooney has ever said 😂

Roony telling it like it is 😂crap.

Mr Rooney is my new hero.
