The Velvet Sundown, the AI band that is sweeping Spotify

Jesús Ortiz Paz, vocalist of Fuerza Regida, faces criticism on social networks after showing his support for the United States National Team during the 2026 World Cup.

The singer, known as JOP, shared images from the match where the United States beat Paraguay 4-1. In them he appears wearing the American shirt and kissing the national emblem.

The reactions were divided. While some followers defended the artist by pointing out that he was born and raised in the United States, others considered that his gesture was excessive due to his strong connection with Mexican culture.

The controversy quickly went viral on different digital platforms. Ortiz Paz maintains a fan base in both Mexico and the United States, which intensified the debate about national identity and support for sports teams.

When the court is the relationship

Love and football have more in common than it seems. This is what the play “The Day Mexico Won the World Cup” puts forward, a staging that uses sports language to explore couple dynamics.

Carlos Speitzer and Alexa Marín are the protagonists of this story. They play Pablo and Bárbara, a couple waiting for their divorce to be signed. The moment is narrated as if it were the final whistle of a game. Two sports writers burst onto the scene to tell their story as the most decisive match of their lives.

“Everyone wants to be the one who wins the game and that’s a bit what happens in relationships, until they do an exercise of conscience and realize that they are not enemies, that they were just training, that in the game it has to be both of them against life,” said Speitzer.

The work is presented at La Teatrería. Its narrative covers the soccer World Cups since 1985, using each sporting event as a common thread to relive the key moments of the relationship. Yellow cards, goals and extra time become analogies for everyday conflicts and agreements.

For Speitzer, relationships are similar to a war or a soccer game, where communication is essential for the game to end with positive results. Alexa Marín added that everything is an analogy: what is heard from the narrators applies directly to living together as a couple.

The play invites the audience to reflect on how, sometimes, both sides of the court forget that they are not rivals, but partners facing life together.

Rain and technical failure, but the show continued

The singer Majo Aguilar inaugurated the “Estadio GAM” festival at the Gustavo A. Madero mayor’s office on June 11. The rain caused his sound equipment to stop working, which almost canceled his presentation.

However, the artist did not give up. Together with his musicians, he found a quick solution: take the microphone and explain the situation to the audience. Then, with some members of his mariachi and his acoustic instruments, he began to sing.

“When you have to celebrate, you have to celebrate with mariachi. I would have loved to give them the full show, but my equipment burned down, that’s not possible. You have to thank the rain, but we sing for a little while, or what? Even if it is like that, right? Pray for it then,” said the singer when she saw the positive reaction of the public.

The gesture was well received by those in attendance, who chanted and applauded during the improvised presentation. Majo Aguilar showed that the show must go on, even against the weather.
