Maná will liven up the break of Mexico vs England

FIFA confirmed that the Mexican band Maná will perform during halftime of the friendly match between Mexico and England at the Mexico City Stadium. The show promises to be one of the most anticipated moments of the meeting.

The Guadalajara group arrives with the history of having participated in the opening ceremony of the 2026 World Cup, also in the same stadium. On that occasion, they performed “Oye mi amor” and paid tribute to Mexican music before millions of viewers.

The announcement occurs in the midst of the controversy generated by the comments of Liam Gallagher, vocalist of Oasis, who on social networks stated that the Mexican team would be beaten at home. The exchange of statements with Fher Olvera, singer of Maná, fueled the expectation of the match.

Maná is one of the most successful Spanish rock bands of recent decades. His participation at half-time adds an extra attraction to a duel that already generates great interest.

Voice actress Isabel Martiñon, known for playing Naruto Uzumaki in Latin Spanish since 2003, surprised Mexican soccer player Armando González with a personalized video.

A message with a globalist mission

Through Instagram, Martiñon addressed the forward of the Club Deportivo Guadalajara (Chivas), nicknamed “La Hormiga”, who is a renowned anime fan. With the characteristic voice of the ninja, he entrusted him with an ‘S’ rank mission: to face the most difficult phase of the World Cup with force and bring the World Cup to Mexico together with the National Team.

“Because you are the most stubborn player, my friend, really,” said the actress.

The 23-year-old footballer responded with a brief “Deveras”, showing his emotion.

Reactions in networks

The video generated a wave of positive comments. Users highlighted the motivation it represents: “If it motivated me, I don’t even want to imagine the Ant” and “We have the blessing of Naruto,” were some reactions. Others confessed to having cried with emotion.

Passion for anime on the court

González, nicknamed “the otaku of the goal”, has shown his taste for series such as Fullmetal Alchemist and Blue Lock. In his celebrations, he replicates character moves such as Sasuke Uchiha’s fireball jutsu. This link between football and pop culture reinforces the connection with his fans.

Lord Humungus will no longer roam the desert. Kjell Nilsson, the Swedish actor who gave life to the iconic villain of Mad Max 2, died at the age of 76 in Queensland, Australia. The news was confirmed by his representative, Chris Carbaugh, who noted that the artist died surrounded by his family after a four-year fight against kidney disease.

From weights to cinema

Before playing the fearsome raider leader, Nilsson was an Olympic-level weightlifter. This physical preparation earned him the role of Lord Humungus, an antagonist hidden behind a metal mask who became one of the most memorable in the franchise. The film, directed by George Miller and starring Mel Gibson, launched him to world fame.

Although he participated in other films such as Crocodile Dundee and Howling III, none left as deep a mark as his work in post-apocalyptic cinema. Born in Sweden in 1949, he emigrated to Australia, where he developed his sporting and artistic career. His representative described him as a generous person who inspired many as a weight trainer, a role he maintained in parallel to acting.

The departure of Kjell Nilsson leaves a void among Mad Max fans, who will always remember him as one of the most emblematic villains of the genre.
