Before the real business got under way, there was the World Cup closing ceremony. Of course, social media reacted in its own unique way.
Watching this on loop
Quite frankly, one of the most surreal things I've ever seen at a World Cup. Ronaldinho on the bongo at the closing ceremony. pic.twitter.com/jeBX606Vuj
— Jarrad (@guitarsandvinyl) 15 July 2018 We are not surprised by this
Roy Keane is not a massive fan of the closing ceremony...

That trophy - sends shivers down your spine just seeing it
— Oliver Holt (@OllieHolt22) July 15, 2018 No expense spared
Fifa's appetite for product-placement knows no limits....even with the #worldcup case
— Henry Winter (@henrywinter) July 15, 2018 Quite
Seriously, Fifa, have a word with yourselves.
— Rory Smith (@RorySmith) July 15, 2018 Harry Maguire's bin bags must have been thrown away
Out comes the #WorldCup trophy in its specially designed Louis Vuitton travel case. Say what??!

— SPORTbible (@sportbible) July 15, 2018 It's magical what some bongos can do
obviously wanted to hate the world cup closing ceremony but the manic crescendo at the end with aida garifullina singing kalinka and ronaldinho playing the drum actually ruled
— Ken Early (@kenearlys) July 15, 2018 You are not mistaken, Jamie
Did I just see Ronaldinho beating some drums in the closing ceremony or???
— jamie jackson (@JamieJackson___) July 15, 2018 You can't beat a closing ceremony
Kalinka ... Ronaldinho and an amazing atmosphere. Bring on the footy .... pic.twitter.com/YeGhuVr0HV
— Andy Lines (@andylines) July 15, 2018 Ronaldinho! Playing bongos!

— Paul Brown (@pbsportswriter) July 15, 2018 Too right
Will Smith high fives the big fluffy Zabivaka mascot on the way off the pitch. Of course he does. He's Will Smith.
— Rory Dollard (@thervd) July 15, 2018 With that, he was gone ...
Will Smith jogging off like a player being subbed in a game where his team are 2-0 up but he didn't score
— Rik Sharma (@riksharma_) July 15, 2018 Will's not a crowd pleaser
I've given this Will Smith song a fair chance and I've got to confess I'm not keen.
— Phil McNulty (@philmcnulty) July 15, 2018 Scenes!

— Simon Peach (@SimonPeach) July 15, 2018 Oh.
The weird compulsion everyone seems to have about filming everything on their phone has reached new heights at the World Cup closing ceremony. How empty would life be to want to watch this back again later?
— Dave Kidd (@davekidd_) July 15, 2018 Fingers crossed, Sid
I hope he's going to do the Fresh Prince theme
— Sid Lowe (@sidlowe) July 15, 2018 How can you not love the man
Was looking up Will Smith lyrics, Gettin' Jiggy Wit It starts:
Bring it.
Whoo!
Unh, unh, unh, unh
Hoo cah cah
Hah hah, hah hah
Bicka bicka bow bow bow,
Bicka bow bow bump bump
What, what, what, what
Hah hah hah hah
Unh
Guy's a genius. #GOAT
— Sam Cunningham (@samcunningham) July 15, 2018 But not everyone was a fan
Not even sure where you begin with this closing ceremony
— Richard Buxton (@RichardBuxton_) July 15, 2018 Not a Robbie Williams in sight
So far none of the potty-mouthedness of the opening ceremony. pic.twitter.com/kMw3ylnD9J
— Nick Ames (@NickAmes82) July 15, 2018 We all know the answer to this
Can't decide if I'm more excited to see the #WorldCup final or Will Smith perform live in the closing ceremony #GOAT?
— Sam Cunningham (@samcunningham) July 15, 2018 We are all here for Will
This could be one of the best and quickest Will Smith gigs ever
— Barney Ronay (@barneyronay) July 15, 2018 More sneak peeks before things get going ...
This will be the closing ceremony#WorldCupFinal pic.twitter.com/VHg2rncxyC
— Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) July 15, 2018 They're just waiting for Will Smith and a giant football
Taking it all in. #WorldCupFinal pic.twitter.com/NtmGY0HN5O
— Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) July 15, 2018 Excitement builds as ... well, whatever is in store is prepared

— Jacqui Oatley (@JacquiOatley) July 15, 2018 Before the action got under way, Croatia were in high spirits ...
Four hours until the final.
Croatia fans are making some noise. pic.twitter.com/jVe4uLCzkT
