El aficionado mexicano es consumidor, no conocedor. Hay que entender eso.
Lo que vemos en los estadios y escuchamos o leemos en las conversaciones con esta gente consumidora de un show no es más que el síntoma de la enfermedad que se propaga desde la mayoría de los medios y programas de tv.
Queremos aficionados que entiendan táctica? Dales periodistas que hablen de táctica y no de chismes de vestidores.
Queremos afición que exija competitividad? Que entiendan lo que significa un 0-0 vs una potencia aspirante a campeón del mundo? Dales una liga con descenso, sin multipropiedad, donde perder tenga consecuencias reales, donde entiendan el valor de ese resultado.
Queremos debates de fondo? Dales programas con gente que sepa, que analicen el juego y no que griten con la playera puesta.
El aficionado se eleva cuando lo que consume lo obliga a elevarse. Europa o Argentina no tiene mejor cultura futbolística porque sus aficionados nacieron más ilustrados la tienen porque su producto, su periodismo y sus estructuras los formaron así durante décadas.
Totalmente de acuerdo y llevo todo el fin de semana comentándolo con conocidos y extraños.

Your Netflix "4K" stream and a 4K disc put the same number of pixels on your screen. But the disc version of a two-hour movie is about 70 gigabytes. The stream is about 14. Same pixels, roughly five times less data filling them.
You see it first in dark scenes. The stream doesn't have enough data to tell dark grey from black, so your TV just mashes it all into chunky blocks. Then you notice sunsets looking like a paint-by-numbers, with visible stripes where smooth color should be. Film grain is probably the biggest casualty. Directors add that slightly textured look on purpose to make movies feel cinematic. Streaming compression reads it as noise and wipes it. That's where the weirdly plastic, waxy look on a good OLED comes from.
One comparison I can't stop thinking about. A regular 1080p Blu-ray (the older HD format, not even 4K) pushes about 40 megabits of data per second to fill 2 million pixels. A 4K stream pushes 15-25 to fill 8 million pixels. Four times the pixels. Less data. A plain HD disc from 2008 can look sharper than a brand new 4K stream.
Sound is worse. Netflix sends "Dolby Atmos" audio at about 768 kilobits per second, compressed, with parts of the original permanently deleted. A disc sends TrueHD Atmos at up to 18,000, lossless, nothing removed. Up to 23x more sound data. If dialogue sounds flat when you're streaming, that's not your speakers.
Netflix is getting better at this. As of late 2025, 30% of their streaming runs on a newer compression method called AV1, the same picture at a third less data. They also strip film grain out before compressing, then rebuild it on your TV during playback. Saves over a third on file size for most content, and up to two-thirds for really grainy movies. The rebuilt grain looks solid.
The tradeoff won't go away, though. Netflix has to deliver a file that works over spotty rural Wi-Fi and gigabit fiber, adjusting quality frame by frame to whatever your connection can handle. A disc reads plastic. Same quality every time.

Getting a 4K player and an OLED really opens your eyes to how streaming services just completely butcher movies with compression lol

FIFA has made its choice. But was it the right one? 🤔
The 2026 World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey — a modern NFL giant with over 82,000 seats and experience hosting mega-events like the Super Bowl and Copa América final.
But let’s compare it to the alternative… Estadio Azteca.
🏟️ Azteca advantages:
🏆 The only stadium in history to host two World Cup finals (1970 & 1986)
🌍 Would become the first ever to host a third
👑 A true “spiritual home” of football, filled with iconic moments
🏟️ MetLife advantages:
💰 Built for scale, logistics, and global events
📍 Located near New York — huge commercial and media value
⚙️ Modern infrastructure and revenue potential
Does the World Cup final belong in a perfectly optimized venue, or in a place with unmatched football history?
While MetLife offers size and business logic, Azteca offers something you can’t build — legacy.
And in a tournament celebrating football across three nations, many would argue the final could have crowned that story… in Mexico City. 🇲🇽
We won’t change FIFA’s decision — but you can experience both worlds live. Watch the opening match at Estadio Azteca and the final in New York. Explore our trusted ticket options for every match of the 2026 World Cup.
