The World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina is being shown on both ITV and the BBC, with Post Malone and IShowSpeed among those performing at the closing ceremony
Fans settling in for Sunday’s World Cup final between Spain and Argentina were thrilled to see Post Malone performing at the opening ceremony.
The two nations are locked in battle for the sport’s most coveted trophy at New York/New Jersey Stadium in the United States, with the final being broadcast live on both the BBC and ITV.
Supporters from across the globe settled in to watch the final, but it wasn’t long before many flocked to social media to express their thoughts about the closing ceremony, which featured Post Malone and IShowSpeed, reports the Mirror.
And while some were not impressed, others could not praise Post Malone enough, saying, “Post Malone!! The damn mic is onnnn.”
Meanwhile, another viewer added: “So good to see Posty can still rap!!”
“Yes, Post Malone is the GOAT. He looks amazing,” another went on.
However, one unimpressed viewer wrote on X, “The World Cup closing show was terrible.” While a third added, “It probably was the worst one.”
“It must have been the worst closing ceremony for a World Cup ever. And the playback, what a shame. #worldcup,” another agreed.
Spain secured their spot in the showpiece after delivering a commanding 2-0 triumph over France in the semi-finals, while Argentina sealed their place by narrowly defeating England 2-1 in a fiercely fought clash.
Following weeks of drama across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the tournament boils down to one ultimate showdown as two of international football’s giants vie to be crowned world champions.
This year’s final is also making history beyond the on-field drama. For the first time in World Cup history, FIFA has unveiled a Super Bowl-style half-time show, a move that has split opinion amongst supporters.
The entertainment has been organised by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and includes performances from Shakira and Burna Boy, who co-wrote the official anthem for the tournament.
Pop superstars Madonna and Justin Bieber are also expected to grace the stage during the break.
England, meanwhile, concluded their campaign on a positive note on Saturday by beating France 6-4 in a captivating Bronze Final.
While failing to reach the final will remain painful, England departs North America with a medal after concluding the competition on an uplifting note.
