What did you think of the World Cup half-time show?

Not everyone was too keen.

LAST NIGHT SAW Spain crowned World Cup champions for the first time since 2010.

It also marked the debut of the World Cup half-time show, which featured performances from Madonna, Shakira, Burna Boy, Justin Bieber… and The Muppets.

If you missed it (and have 11 minutes to spare) you can watch the full performance here.

Not everyone was impressed with it, though. Wayne Rooney described the show as “crap”, while Liam Gallagher also appeared to be underwhelmed. The Oasis frontman did say that “Justin rules”, for what it’s worth.

Meanwhile, fans of BTS were delighted by the K-pop group’s brief appearance. The same was true for fans of The Muppets, and can you blame them?

So, we want to know your thoughts.
