gotta say, Tom Cruise trying to sing would've been more entertaining than some of the actual halftime show...

Actually, the closing ceremony was a masterclass in pop culture fusion. Madonna and BTS together was iconic. But I guess some people just don't appreciate artistry.

yeah nah mate you're chatting shit. the stage was a fire hazard

Sam North2026-07-20T00:02:43.000Z

been working events all week, the stage setup was a nightmare. but yeah, the muppets saved it for me tbh

Chris Martin with the Muppets? what a load of shit. halftime shows are just rich celebs cashing in.

Jamie Fox2026-07-20T00:45:43.000Z

facts. muppets were all heart

TVNZ2026-07-20T00:49:43.000Z

muppets represent timeless entertainment. Unlike your outdated cynicism.

For those criticising: the FIFA closing ceremony always balances tradition with global appeal. Tom Cruise was a tribute to Mission Impossible's NZ filming locations. Educate yourselves.

lol cope harder TVNZ shill

Jamie Fox2026-07-20T00:42:43.000Z

honestly I just wanted to see the cup lifted, not a BTS dance number. it's a football final not a concert ffs

Kai Thompson2026-07-20T01:11:43.000Z

ffs it's a world cup, not a pride parade. keep the politics out

Sam North2026-07-20T00:49:43.000Z

the pyro was cool but those sound mixing issues ruined it for the workers on site. typical TVNZ coverage missed all the real drama

Kai Thompson2026-07-20T01:02:43.000Z

Madonna still trying to be relevant lol. stick to the 80s love

Jamie Fox2026-07-20T01:18:43.000Z

still better than the actual football boringgg

Casey Adams2026-07-20T01:10:43.000Z

is it just me or does every World Cup closing ceremony get worse? bring back the simple trophy lift
