PREVIEW: Only football could throw up such an unfathomable redemption story in a World Cup final: of course it involves Messi<\/a><\/p>\n

In Dallas, a first half penalty from Mikel Oyarzabal and a second half strike from Pedro Porro helped the European champions into the decider, amidst a 37-match run where they are unbeaten within 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

In Atlanta, England broke open a feisty encounter with Anthony Gordon\u2019s 55th minute goal, but with the defending champions fighting for their World Cup defence, they produced an almighty comeback from the ages orchestrated by none other than Lionel Messi. <\/p>\n

FIFA say it will be an 11-minute performance, but some reports suggest it could blow to as long as half an hour, especially once host broadcasters have concluded their traditional analysis; alongside the two controversial hydration breaks, it will provide a unique challenge for both sides to navigate.<\/p>\n

Madonna, Shakira, Justin Bieber and BTS will co-headline the historic show that will include cameos from Sesame Street\u00a0and\u00a0The Muppets, as well as Burna\u00a0Boy and\u00a0PS22\u00a0Chorus. <\/p>\n

During the semi finals, FIFA also announced a line-up for a pre-game Closing Ceremony as well! Tom Cruise, Robbie Williams, Laura Pausini, Nicole Scherzinger, ishowspeed and Jennifer Hudson will be amongst the performers for a closing ceremony ahead of the clash on Monday AEST.<\/p>\n
