Mexican Government Reports Mini Earthquake Caused By Goal Celebrations Against Germany At World Cup 2018

Mexican Government Reports Mini Earthquake Caused By Goal Celebrations Against Germany At World Cup 2018

Celebrations in Mexico City led to an ‘artificial’ mini-earthquake being recorded ‘possibly by massive jumping’ after Hirving Lozano’s goal

We're pretty certain that the scenes in Mexico when the national team took an unlikely lead against world champions Germany must have been pretty epic and rightly so.

PSV Eindhoven star Hirving Lozano opened the scoring ten minutes before half-time and the travelling Mexican supporters in the Luzhniki Stadium went crazy.

But it seems like nothing in comparison to the celebrations over in the Mexican capital, where it's been reported by the government that a mini-earthquake was caused by intense jumping when Lozano scored.


You know your goal celebrations are something else when it comes up as seismic activity on the richter scale.

The main perpetrator of these recordings is probably poor Javier, who was supposed to be going to Moscow to watch his beloved Mexico.

Him and his mates put their hard-earned cash into buying a bus to travel in style but just before they were due to leave on their adventure Javier's wife told him he wasn't allowed to go. Ouch.

Now there's a cardboard cut-out of their sorely missed pal wondering around Moscow wearing a t-shirt which reads 'My wife didn't let me [go]'.

We hope both cardboard Javier and real life Javier are having a ball, but calm down on the jumping, LADs.
