Artificial 'earthquake' detected in Mexico after World Cup goal

Mexico is now the gold standard for fan celebration.

A small artificial earthquake was detected in Mexico City on Sunday after Hirving Lozano scored a goal -- the only goal of the game -- during Mexico's World Cup matchup against Germany.

According to SIMMSA, which monitors seismic activity in the area, the earthquake was likely caused by "massive jumping" directly after the goal. Hell yeah.

This does set quite a precedent, though. Now, if your celebration doesn't cause a geological event, did it actually happen? Maybe not.

Congrats to Mexico on the big surprise win. And congrats to Hirving Lozano on causing an earthquake.

UPDATE: June 19, 2018, 3:46 p.m. ET All good things must come to an end, and there is now some question as to whether the earthquake actually occurred. From seismologist Dr. Suzan Van Der Lee, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at Northwestern University: "The signal shown could be related to a family or two reacting to the goal, but the signals certainly do not stem for a mass celebration." Jury's out!
