Shakira, Madonna, Justin Bieber and BTS perform at colourful World Cup half-time show

The BBC World and Metro reports differ in their coverage of the World Cup half-time show, with the BBC focusing on the performers and celebrity attendees, while Metro highlights criticism of the event by former footballer Wayne Rooney. The BBC's report presents a neutral, factual account of the show's performers, including Shakira, Madonna, and Justin Bieber. In contrast, Metro's report centres on Rooney's negative opinion of the show, framing it as a controversy. The tone of the two reports reflects their distinct emphases, with the BBC's being descriptive and Metro's being more critical.
