Follow on from the last thread.

Tom Cruise

Just why?

I'd expected cringe, but this is just unbelievable cringe.

apparently the US anthem was played before every single match in the tournament. Coz we can never have enough 'Merican patriotism, it improves us all as humans...😭

Extremely weird.

Let me entertain you 😁 Erm, can you not? 😂

A Louis Vitton trunk?

Tom Cruise?

This is batshit crazy!

Do Canada and Mexico get a look in?

I can't stand all this bullshit, too American.

Most of these celebs probably have no idea about football really. Probably paid no attention to it previously. Apart from Robbie

This is so American in the way that America is so awful I keep expecting Homelander to fly in.

They really don't understand football at all.

My toes have curled so much 🤣

This is not football and how it should be done!

This is not football Tom, this is a load of American shite…

Mexico and Canada being edged out :(

Sweet jaysus it's Tom Cruise.

Thank God that's over - what a complete load of sh**e

OH just said never let America get a tournament like this again.

Everything from the bedazzled travksuits to the LV case just shouts "class"doesnt it.

What was that about? Just get on with it..

Imagine if we hosted a basketball or American football tournament and made loads of changes!

Watching here in Vancouver, BC, CAN.
🇪🇸⚽️🇦🇷

Tom looked alright from a distance , but up close he looks like he has had a lot of work done.

Looked like Tom Cruise was miming
