Sunday – June 17, 2018 two sites in Mexico City were registered to have experienced tremors. According to The Institute of Geological and Atmospheric Investigations, the sensors detected the tremors 35 minutes after Mexico vs. Germany’s kick-off. It is said that the “artificial†tremors were caused by the Mexicans jumping in Jubilation after star player Hirving Lozano made an unexpected score which led to their victory against the World Cup defending Champions Germany.
At the iconic Angel of Independence monument located downtown Mexico City, fans were found waving their National Flag while wearing Mexican Hat called “Sombreroâ€. They were gathered in the said space to watch the match on a giant screen in front of the high Cathedral.
To celebrate their victory of 1-0 against Germany, the Mexicans sang “Cielito Lindo,†or “Pretty Little Sky,†the former being the unofficial soccer anthem of the land while the latter is known as a popular folksong.
At the exact zone, Rodolfo Pulido, 47, perched on a concrete barrier that is intended to separate traffic during busy hours while shouting “Mexico! Mexico! Mexico! He said “I am incredibly happy†“It’s a double gift: Mexico won and I get to celebrate with my son.†Pulido was in the scene, on a father’s day outing, together with his girlfriend and son.
In addition, Pulido believed that this winning game now allowed him to dream of Mexico being included in the next stage along with other 15 teams. Mexico’s team “El Tri†did not reach the said rank for the last six World Cup but yesterday’s victory gave them the chance to reach the quarter- and semi-finals before the final match this 2018.
At a campaign in Mexico State, Presidential Front-Runner, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, offered his congratulatory statement “Just like the team won today, Mexico will keep winning.â€
Other fans on social media recognized goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa’s performance through meme circulation depicting Ochoa as Mexico’s president.
US President, Donald Trump, also did not escape his critics due to his plan to build a wall that will separate United States from Mexico, the memes once again involved photos of Ochoa guarding the goal with a Caption “Hey! We already have a wall.â€
Moreover Angela Merkel, German Chancellor, in her meme, is holding a phone to her ear with a caption “Donald? It’s me Angela. Please build the wall.â€
The “El Tri†is scheduled to go against South Korea on Saturday at Rostov-on-Dov.
