We know that football has all sorts of social ramifications, but maybe Mexican fans took it one step further than anyone in history today.
During the clash between Germany and Mexico, El Tri managed to beat the Germans thanks to a right-footed shot by PSV's Hirving Lozano. There were all sorts of reactions to that goal, including an artificial earthquake.
Here are the couple of reports that confirm how Mexican fans made the earth shake for a few moments.
"An earthquake was detected at the same time in which Mexico scored during the World Cup"
