Kpop Demon Hunters confirms world tour: Netflix and AEG join forces

The countdown to the Mexico-England match in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup unleashed an unexpected rivalry in music. Liam Gallagher predicted his team would win 5-0. Fher Olvera, vocalist of Maná, responded with a video and a phrase that went viral:

“5-0? Don’t stain, get situated… see you there on Sunday.”

The exchange opened another question: if Maná and Oasis were soccer teams, who would win?

Oasis starts with an advantage in sales: more than 100 million albums compared to 45 million for Maná. But the Mexican band has four Grammys and multiple Latin Grammys, while Oasis has seven Brit Awards.

On digital platforms, the duel is even. Oasis reaches 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify; Manna, 27 million. However, Maná leads in followers within the same platform and dominates YouTube with more subscribers. On Instagram, Oasis has a larger community.

There is no shortage of iconic songs: Oasis attacks with “Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova”. Maná responds with “Rayando el Sol”, “Oye Mi Amor” and “Clavado en un Bar”.

In the end, the result depends on the side of the stand. What is a fact: the clash between Gallagher and Olvera turned a World Cup match into a classic also among fans.

The preview of the duel between Mexico and England for the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup continues to give something to talk about. Liam Gallagher, vocalist of Oasis, sparked controversy by predicting in X that his team will win 5-0 against Tricolor. Fher, leader of Maná, was quick to reply.

Fher’s response

In a video published on Instagram, the Mexican singer reacted to the Briton’s message:

“Let’s see, don’t stain; get your bearings, dude. 5-0? Calm down; we’ll see you on Sunday to see how it goes, dude.”

Fher is no stranger to provocations. The musical and football rivalry between both countries intensifies before the game.

Context of the meeting

Mexico reached the round of 16 after beating Ecuador 2-0. England qualified by beating the Democratic Republic of the Congo 2-1. Both teams will seek a ticket to the quarterfinals.

The English fans have made Wonderwall, the song of Oasis, an anthem during the tournament. After the last victory, hundreds of fans chanted the song along with the players in the stands.

Background with the Gallaghers

It is not the first time that a Gallagher has generated a stir with Mexican soccer. In 2012, Noel Gallagher said on ESPN about Javier “Chicharito” Hernández:

“I think he’s an idiot (laughs). He’s an idiot; Did you know that the word ‘Chicharito’ means ‘the little idiot’?”

The duel between Mexico and England promises emotions both on the field and off it.

From the field to the virtual world

Gilberto Mora continues to give something to talk about. After shining with the Mexican National Team in the 2-0 victory against Ecuador, the 17-year-old midfielder shared an animated video on his X account that quickly became a trend.

The clip lasts 27 seconds and is inspired by Roblox, one of the most popular video games among young people. In the animation, an avatar with his appearance arrives at “La Kantina Vibe”, a virtual stage with a Mexican flag background. The message that accompanies the publication is: “Gil Mora arriving at a Roblox cantina to celebrate because they didn’t let him leave.”

Humor and authenticity

Being a minor, the Club Tijuana soccer player did not participate in the team’s in-person celebrations, but he found a creative way to celebrate. In the video, his avatar dances to the rhythm of “You have me imprisoned,” a song by El Bogueto and Yung Beef.

The publication generated a wave of positive reactions. Fans highlighted his relaxed and authentic personality, and remembered that Mora was already a Roblox fan before becoming one of the great promises of Mexican soccer.

The video not only reflects his closeness with followers, but also his ability to connect through digital platforms. In the midst of the 2026 World Cup, Gilberto Mora shows that his charisma transcends the field.
