Farewell to a wrestling legend

The world of sports entertainment mourns the loss of Terry Eugene Bollea, known universally as Hulk Hogan, who died last Friday, July 25 at the age of 71 due to cardiac arrest in Clearwater, Florida. Despite medical efforts, the gladiator was unable to overcome the episode, marking the end of an era in professional wrestling.

From musician to superstar

Born on August 11, 1953 in Augusta, Georgia, Hogan combined his training in finance with his passion for music before finding his true calling in the ring. Under the tutelage of maestro Hiro Matsuda, he debuted in 1977 and quickly became the face of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), now WWE. His charisma and physical strength catapulted him to fame, consolidating Hulkmania as a cultural phenomenon in the 80s.

The architect of WrestleMania

Hogan was a key player in the success of the first edition of WrestleMania in 1985, where his fight alongside Mr. T against Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff sealed the future of the company. His rivalry with André the Giant, especially at WrestleMania III, is still considered a pinnacle moment in the sport. Furthermore, his impact transcended borders: from epic battles in Japan with NJPW to memorable matches in Mexico against legends like Canek and Mil Máscaras.

Legacy beyond the ring

Hogan’s influence extended to film, with his iconic role in Rocky III (1982), and to television through reality shows such as Hogan Knows Best. Although his career was not without controversy – such as his temporary expulsion from WWE in 2015 – his induction into the Hall of Fame in 2005, presented by Sylvester Stallone, reaffirmed his legendary status.

A farewell with honors

Vince McMahon, CEO of WWE, described him as “the greatest superstar of all time”. His legacy endures not only in audience records or historical sellouts, but in the collective memory of generations who grew up with his war cry: “What are you going to do when Hulkmania is unleashed on you?”.

Milestone Victory

The Mexican team secured its place in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup by defeating Ecuador 2-0 at the Azteca Stadium. With this result, they have four consecutive victories in World Cups, an unprecedented achievement in the history of national football.

The team led by Javier Aguirre imposed its rhythm from the beginning. A constant offensive proposal nullified the South American approach.

The advantage came in the first half. Julián Quiñones opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, and Raúl Jiménez sealed the victory in the 31st minute.

Mexico remains undefeated at the Coloso de Santa Úrsula in World Cups: eight wins and two draws in ten games played.

The Tricolor will play again this Sunday on the same stage. They will face the winner of the tie between England and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for a place in the quarterfinals.

Decisive duel in Seattle

This Wednesday, Belgium and Senegal face off at Seattle Stadium for a ticket to the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. The winner will face the winner of the duel between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Honduran Said Martínez will referee the match, assisted by his compatriots Walter López and Christian Ramírez. The Mexican Guillermo Pacheco will be in charge of the VAR.

Belgium arrives as the leader of Group G with five points, the same as Egypt, but with a better goal difference after beating New Zealand 5-1 and tying with Egypt and Iran. Led by Frenchman Rudi García, the Belgians advanced from the group stage for the ninth time in 15 World Cup appearances. Figures like Kevin de Bruyne, Leandro Trossard and Romelu Lukaku support the team.

For this match, García recovers Jeremy Doku, a Manchester City striker who overcame a respiratory infection and was absent in previous matches due to the birth of his son.

For its part, Senegal advanced as one of the best third parties, third in Group I behind France and Norway. A 5-0 win over Iraq secured their place. Under the command of Pape Thiaw, the African team stands out for the defensive leadership of Sadio Mané, who has not had his best scoring production but provides collective sacrifice.

The winner of this duel will play on Monday, July 6 in the round of 16, facing the rival that emerges from the match between the United States and Bosnia, which also takes place this Wednesday in Los Angeles.

The long-awaited duel between Mexico and Ecuador for the round of 32 of the World Cup will have to wait. An electrical storm around the Mexico City Stadium forced the match schedule to be modified.

The intense rain on Santa Úrsula activated FIFA’s security protocols. The measure seeks to protect soccer players, coaching staff and fans.

Both the Mexican and Ecuadorian national teams saw their pre-match routine altered. They delayed their departure to the field for warm-up exercises, while the authorities monitor the evolution of the weather.

On the stadium screens it is reported that the game is officially delayed. So far there is no new defined time for the start of activities on the field.
