“Bro just called it Football,” one fan posted. Another added: “Well at least he doesn’t say soccer.”
That split defined the night. Plenty of viewers groaned at the earnestness, while others pointed out the obvious, that with an audience estimated in the billions, Cruise was addressing a global crowd rather than a domestic one.
The rest simply enjoyed the absurdity of it. “He’s lucky he did not say SOCCER,” one fan laughed, while another was grateful the actor had kept things simple: “Good he chose a speech instead of hanging from the stadium roof. Thank God.”
Cruise has not responded to any of it. By the time Argentina and Spain kicked off, the argument had moved on without him.
