Thoroughly deserved Mexican victory. Germany looked tired, but then they are the oldest side in the tournament I believe.

Spain lost the opener in 2010 and 2014, France lost to Senegal in 2002. it's not necessarily a death blow and I don't think it will be in this case either. Germany should be able to get past S. Korea and Sweden.

as the goal happened.

Mexico's goal celebration against Germany quite literally caused a minor earthquake as fans' wild reaction sparked seismic activity in the nation's capital.

Mexican authorities reported the reading was recorded at the exact time Mexico took the lead in their Group F World Cup opening match against Die Mannschaft.
