Tom Cruise suffers humiliation as World Cup final monologue drowned out

Tom Cruise saw his FIFA World Cup final appearance embarrassingly drowned out by fans at MetLife Stadium. Hollywood star Cruise delivered a scene-setting monologue on the field that saw him branded "cringe" ahead of the final between Argentina and Spain. It came after Donald Trump was ruthlessly booed following a stirring rendition of the national anthem. But Cruise’s performance did not go down well with Spain and Argentina fans inside the stadium. As his speech dragged on, fans from both countries drowned him out with chants supporting their teams, clearly eager for the game to begin. It was all part of the big game festivities thrown together for the final game of the tournament, after a grand closing ceremony featuring various stars led by Post Malone. Details of Cruise’s role in the closing ceremony had been sparse. FIFA had simply confirmed before the event that they “will celebrate the 48 teams’ unforgettable journey across the three host countries and 16 host cities throughout the tournament.” Cruise said: "30 days ago, 40 nations began a journey across oceans. They crossed borders. They crossed cultures. And together, they showed why this game belongs to the world. "Football is a language spoken without words. A force that unites people. That turns strangers into friends. And reminds us what we all have in common. "These stories belong to each and every one of us, " Cruise smiled before finishing, "Let us celebrate each other! This is football. This is greatness." But fans in attendance - who had spent thousands of dollars on tickets - were more interested in the main attraction and the clash between Lionel Messi’s Argentina and Lamine Yamal’s Spain to decide the world champions. Before the final, Messi shared an emotional message to his teammates on social media. He wrote:“The nicest thing about all these years was never just the titles, but all the way. Share the day-to-day with this group, compete together, get up in the difficult moments, and enjoy every step.” “Thanks to each of my teammates, the technical staff and all the people who work every day to keep this National Team a family. Whatever happens tomorrow, this group has already written a story that we will never forget and that no one can erase. COME ON ARGENTINA.”
