Musical show to kick off World Cup final



Berlin, July 5 (DPA) Singer Shakira and rapper Wyclef Jean are expected to perform in a 30-minute show before the start of the World Cup final in the Olympic stadium here Sunday.

Spanish tenor Placido Domingo will sing a song composed by his son Placido Domingo Jr. during the half-time break at football's pinnacle event.

The stadium, which has a capacity of 72,000, has been sold out months ago. The final, between Italy and either France of Portugal, will be beamed around the world to a television audience of more than one billion.

Among the foreign political dignitaries present will be South African President Thabo Mbeki and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

South Africa hosts the next World Cup in 2010. FIFA, football's governing body, has engaged Annan to promote the tournament after his term at the UN expires at the end of the year.

Placido Domingo, an avid football fan, has attended every World Cup final since 1982, when Italy beat Germany 3-1 in Rome.

Talking about this year's tournament, he said: 'The standard has been mediocre, it has not lived up to expectations.'

The knock out rounds 'caused a lot of teams to play nervously', he told DPA. In particular, he found the performance of the Brazilian team and Spain disappointing.
