Mexico fans celebrated a World Cup goal so wildly they triggered spikes on local seismographs

Comments Off on Mexico fans celebrated a World Cup goal so wildly they triggered spikes on local seismographs

There are loud crowds, and then there are Mexican soccer crowds.

After their 2-0 win over Ecuador on Tuesday, Mexican soccer fans went berserk... to the point where their celebration allegedly triggered an earthquake.

During the huge Round of 32 knockout showdown, packed crowds inside the legendary Estadio Azteca generated enough ground movement to trigger local seismic monitoring equipment.

When exactly did it happen?

When forward Julian QuiƱones buried the opening goal in the 22nd minute, the stadium erupted so violently that monitoring agencies registered an "artificial seismic signal," according to the New York Post.

The ground-shaking excitement was not just a metaphor in this case. Thousands of fans in Mexico lost their minds and shook the earth.

Ground movement caused by celebrating fans is different from a real earthquake, so while the stadium must've been moving with the fans, the stadium was in no real threat.

Mexico's Raul Jimenez slammed home a second goal in the 31st minute to lock in a dominant 2-0 victory.

That punched El Tri's ticket straight to the Round of 16 and kept the host nation's tournament dream alive for at least one more match.

Incredibly, this is actually the second time Mexico fans have forced seismologists to check their equipment.

The exact same thing happened back in 2018 when Hirving Lozano shocked Germany.

Look, if your fan base registers on earthquake monitors twice in a single decade, you officially own one of the greatest atmospheres on earth.

This World Cup has been bringing the absolute goods from day one.
