World Cup 2026 sparks streaming tips, influencer dispute and new TV series lineup

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off in July, media outlets across the globe are highlighting ways fans can stay connected to the tournament. A Colombian guide advises travelers to use Roku streaming devices to watch matches on the move, offering tips such as portable streaming sticks, a dedicated “Football Zone” to locate broadcasts, private‑listen mode for headphones, smartphone remote control and on‑the‑go highlights.

In Spain, influencer Gonzalo Montoya posted a controversial TikTok video during the tournament, declaring “This is not Sevilla, we won’t live in the past,” which drew criticism from Sevilla FC supporters. Montoya’s remarks were linked to the Spanish national team’s upcoming match against Austria and the potential knockout round against Colombia or Portugal.

Meanwhile, Spanish pay‑TV provider Movistar Plus announced its July programming slate, adding two international thriller series – “Memoria de un asesino” and “La vida en la sombra” – alongside the season finale of “Mentes brillantes,” while also promoting its extensive sports coverage of the World Cup, Wimbledon, the Tour de France and other events.
