Alright, so Spain and Argentina are locked up in a scoreless draw at the 2026 World Cup final halftime, but seriously, that wasn’t even the biggest story of the night. The real showstopper during this first-ever FIFA World Cup halftime extravaganza? Yeah, it was The Muppets, hands down. They absolutely dominated the field, proving once again that America knows how to put on a “big show.”
Kermit and Miss Piggy Own The Field
Can you believe it? The Muppets performed “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes and straight up stole the whole damn show. We’re talking about a stage with Justin Bieber and Jason Sudeikis, yet these puppets were the ones everyone was buzzing about. It was electric, full of unity and celebration, with the field covered in every color imaginable. Honestly, nothing even came close to that energy, not even the “Viking row” the Norwegians made so popular throughout the tournament. The Muppets just delivered a halftime performance for the ages.
Superstar Status, Still Secondary
While The Muppets were crushing it, a ton of other massive names were on hand for the festivities. Madonna, Shakira, and BTS were headliners alongside Bieber, all part of this incredible celebration of the American brand on full display. But let’s be real, even with all that star power, The Muppets just hit different. They set the bar impossibly high for any future World Cup halftime shows.
Spain and Argentina still need to break this scoreless tie, but what are they gonna do for an encore after that? The Muppets just set the standard for the first-ever FIFA World Cup halftime, and everyone’s gonna be talking about it for a long, long time. We’ll see who takes home the trophy, but the real winners of this halftime show? They’re furry, green, and pink.
