Justin Timberlake Is Broadcasting England's World Cup Match From His London Show Because Even He Knows He Can't Compete With FIFA

He's invited concert-goers to come early to watch the match, which should conveniently avoid them coming late or not at all.

Justin Timberlake has made arrangements so that no one attending his World Tour concert in London has to choose between him and the World Cup semi-final match between England and Croatia.

He announced the news on Instagram in a slightly intense video, encouraging ticket-holders to join him at 6:30 in the 02 arena to watch the game on the big screens.

In the oddly serious piece-to-camera, JT says that he had a talk with the people in charge at O2 arena so that they would stream the soccer on their stadium screens “for the first time ever”.

Justin Timberlake really wants you to know that he cares about the World Cup and that he’s rooting for England. “I mean I wanna see it, you wanna see it, we all wanna see it,” he assures us.

Conveniently, screening the game at the stadium should also prevent his FIFA-loving fans from showing up late or not at all to his concert that technically starts at 7:30.

But I’m sure this is all purely because Justin is a great, big, die-hard soccer fan and nothing else!
