This sounds unbelievable but it is true, the amount of activity generated by Mexicans celebrating Hirving Lozano’s 35th minute winner against Germany registered on some equipment monitoring seismic activity around Mexico city. The Institute for Geological and Atmospherical Investigations tweeted its discovery of seismic activity immediately after the goal was scored. The tweet translated states:

The #sismo detected in Mexico City originated artificially. Possibly by massive jumps during the goal of the selection of #México in the World Cup. At least two sensors inside the city detected it at 11:32.

So, while this is not a proper earthquake, it is seismic activity and may be described as an artificial mini earthquake or tremor. Incredible when you think about it though that football can invoke such great passion in people.
