Mexican music icon Angélica María is confidently predicting a 2-0 win for the Mexican national football team against England in their upcoming match. "We are going to win 2-0! I am fully prepared, on Sunday we are going to win, muchachos," she expressed, showing her strong support for the Tricolor.

María, a prominent figure from Mexico's rock and roll era, highlighted her admiration for the current team's perseverance. She believes this quality sets them apart from previous national squads, which she felt tended to ease up after scoring a goal. "What I admire most about this team is their perseverance, that's what makes the difference from previous national teams, who would stop trying to score more once they scored a goal," she stated.

Beyond her football predictions, María offered advice to fans planning to celebrate in public spaces like Fan Fests or plazas. She urged them to avoid bringing minors and to celebrate without causing disturbances, recalling a recent incident where four people died after being trapped in a crowd. "I ask them not to bring minors and to enjoy without causing disturbances, to avoid tragedies like the one that happened this week," she said.

In a separate development, Angélica María is returning to television in a special guest role on the telenovela 'Amor de Marruecos.' Produced by Rosy Ocampo, the show is an adaptation of a 1971 melodrama. María will portray Ornela Donatti, a high-society figure in the fashion world, reprising a role with the same surname as her character in the original 1971 version. Ocampo noted that María's character, though a small part, is crucial to the protagonist's storyline, discovering her and convincing her to embrace a new life. María expressed her happiness to be back on set and is reportedly working diligently during her four-day recording schedule.
