Fher Olvera, vocalist of Maná, prepares for the halftime show of the Mexico vs England match. During rehearsals, the Jalisco native wore two t-shirts: one with the phrase “What if?” —a nod to Mexican hope in the 2026 World Cup— and another with the faces of the Gallagher brothers, leaders of Oasis.
The gesture is not accidental. Days before, Liam Gallagher – a Manchester City fan – had predicted an English rout: “Mexico is going to lose 5 to 0.” Fher responded with a video on social networks:
“Let’s see… don’t stain, get your bearings, wow. 5-0? Calm down. See you there on Sunday, let’s see how it goes.”
The message accumulated more than 791 thousand reactions and unleashed a wave of comments. Liam, known for his controversial nature, tried to calm things down:
“Every time I’ve been to Mexico everyone has been lovely. I don’t understand this negative attitude. Everything is going to be fine.”
With the Oasis shirt on, Olvera built a bridge between rivalries. The Mexican band had already participated in the opening of the 2026 World Cup on June 11, performing “Oye, mi amor.” Now, the halftime show promises to be another chapter in this rock and sports story.
