\n\tOn Monday night\u2019s episode of \u201cThe Daily Show<\/a>,\u201d Jon Stewart<\/a> gave his post-game thoughts about Sunday\u2019s World Cup final match, which saw Spain win out over Argentina 1-0.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOf course, the World Cup ended yesterday, finito, with Spain defeating Argentina 1-0 on the pitch, in the footy,\u201d Stewart said at the top of the show. \u201cThe Spain-Argentina final was like a reverse Super Bowl, where the players spoke Spanish, and the halftime show was in English.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe World Cup final halftime show, the first in the tournament\u2019s history, featured Madonna, Justin Bieber and the Muppets. Stewart took note of \u201cSesame Street\u2019s\u201d The Count, who was there to celebrate the match along with Kermit and Miss Piggy.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou got all the Muppets to choose from, why would in God\u2019s name make the vampire work during the day?\u201d Stewart joked. \u201cNot only is it in the bright glare of the afternoon sun, but for most of the game, the score was 0-0! You\u2019re taunting this poor bastard! \u2018I sat in traffic for one, two, three hours for this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStewart then, of course, shifted his attention to President Donald Trump\u2019s presence at the game. He honed in on an awkward moment where Trump lingered on stage to be part of the trophy hoist, a moment usually reserved for \u201cjust the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat the fuck are you doing on the stage?\u201d Stewart exclaimed. \u201cIt\u2019s for the players! Goddamn! Why must everything be tainted by the overinflated ego of Cankles Muldoon? Why?\u201d<\/p>\n
