While millions were engrossed in the match between Spain and Argentina, Gallagher took to his official X account to share his negative assessment. "This is like a bad trip," he wrote, later adding in a subsequent post, "It’s a good job I’ve got my spiritual socks on or that halftime entertainment could have tipped me over the edge."

Gallagher was not the only prominent musician to voice disapproval. Robert Smith, the lead singer of The Cure, also publicly denounced the FIFA's decision to incorporate a Super Bowl-style performance during the World Cup final. Smith argued that the concept itself was flawed. "For those who still don't quite get it: the point isn't really who organizes it or who performs, but the terrible idea of having a halftime show at a World Cup soccer final," Smith stated.
