Will Pato Merlín be photographed with a Tri player by July 31?

Market context

Merlin has already rubbed shoulders with the President and with FIFA; the Tri is missing. But the duck is forbidden to enter the stadiums, the players are in their world cup bubble and no one has announced a match. Is the photo — duck and player, really, in the same image — before July 31?

Resolution criteria

• How it resolvesResolve Yes if, on or before July 31, 2026, 23:59 in Mexico City, at least one authentic photograph or video is published in which the real Merlin duck (not a stuffed animal, costume, another duck, montage, illustration or image of it) appears in the same shot —at the same time and place— as at least one soccer player included in the official final list of the Mexican National Team registered with FIFA for the 2026 World Cup, both of which are clearly identifiable. The image must be released through a verified official account (of the soccer player, the Mexican Football Federation or the National Team) or, failing that, be confirmed as authentic by at least two members of Milenio, El Universal, Record or ESPN. They don't count: montages, illustrations, stuffed animals, fans in disguise, separate appearances at the same event without being together in the shot, or images whose authenticity cannot be confirmed. Only images captured and published within the market period count. Resolve No if no such image is published by the deadline.
