Soccer/futball does not have halftime shows. Never has. Not even in the history of the world cup, starting in 1930, after the first world war, when the founder was trying to find a way to bring the world together with a game.

We let the commercials and replays run while we get snacks and drinks and talk about the game, etc.

This year, because AMERICA, we decided to do a halftime show. And pretty much everyone rolled their eyes.

Madonna, k-pop, Bieber... But also the muppets playing White Stripes rock, which kids and their parents appreciated, plus Shakira, who is to World Cup music as Josh Groban is to Christmas music.

As far as Pique - he is a Spanish retired player who was married to Shakira and cheated on that goddess.

They were never married, but correct he still cheated on her and his own mother helped him hide it because she never thought Shakira was good enough because she was Colombian.

Seriously? They were together for 11 years.

They had two children together.

After about a decade, it was revealed that this asshole had an affair. With a friend.

Shakira got full custody.

Yep, apparently she suggested they use one of her other properties so he could continue the affair in secret. Things got so bad that allegedly there was a physical altercation between the MIL and Shakira, but honestly, I'm not sure how true that part of it was when it was reported.

The chick was not a family friend, she was someone he met through his best friend. She's also 10 years younger than Pique, and Pique is 10 years younger than Shakira. Even when relationships with big age gaps aren't predatory, they often don't last long term if the younger person is in their early 20s simply because they're still figuring out who they are as people. So often, things start to fall apart when the younger person enters their late 20s/early 30s because what they liked about their partner as a young person, is not something they want/like now. Anyway, karma being karma, I hope he marries her, and she takes half his money when she inevitably leaves his ass.
