The 2026 World Cup already has its first scandal… but it’s not on the field. 😂
Since Mexico won its opening match on June 11, social media has filled with videos recorded at the Ángel de la Independencia, the Zócalo, and Guadalajara’s Plaza Mayor: foreign tourists spontaneously kissing local women in the middle of the celebration. The clips racked up millions of views on TikTok, Instagram, and X, and turned the phenomenon into the most talked-about topic off the field.
The reaction? Some Mexican men declared a national emergency. “They’re stealing our women”, they wrote in the comments — complete with several crying emojis — while the rest of the internet simply couldn’t stop laughing. 🤣
