Next year, the FIFA World Cup is coming back to America. And the final match will be embracing an American tradition. For the first time ever, the game will include a Super Bowl-style halftime show. The list of artists for the halftime show for the match to be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will be curated by Coldplay.

World Cup final, which will be held in East Rutherford, N.J., will feature a Super Bowl type halftime show for the first time in the tournament's history, FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed Wednesday.

Whenever football wraps itself in the red, white and blue, forsaking any dignity for some shameless American razzle-dazzle – as Fifa is planning with a helping hand from Coldplay – the ensuing horror lends itself to instant folklore.
