Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. The World Cup just kicked off. Forty eight countries, the biggest one in history. It opened in Mexico. And each host country got its own opening ceremony, with its own giant pop star. Mexico got Shakira and Burna Boy. The United States got Katy Perry. Massive stars. And Canada got Michael Bublé. Two countries got world famous pop stars. Canada got a man famous for Christmas music. In June. Forty eight teams, a hundred and four games, one Bublé. The most Canadian thing imaginable. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
There are 48 teams participating in this year's World Cup, marking the largest tournament ever.
The opening ceremony was held in Mexico and featured performances by Shakira and Burna Boy. The United States also had an opening ceremony with Katy Perry.
Canada's choice of Michael Bublé, known for Christmas music, is satirized as the most Canadian thing imaginable, highlighting the mismatch between his genre and the timing of the event.
A total of 104 games are scheduled to take place during this year's World Cup tournament.
DOOOD satirizes the extravagant nature of the opening ceremonies, particularly focusing on Canada's choice of Michael Bublé as a humorous and ironic representation of Canadian culture.
