The video went viral incredibly fast: two very eye-catching Mexican female fans celebrating in the stands of a stadium, and everyone assumed the footage was from Mexico’s opening match against South Africa at the World Cup. 🌎⚽
The problem is that it wasn’t. You only have to look closely at the background — the stadium in the footage does not match the one Mexico used that day. The celebrations, the cleavage, and the excitement were real… but the context in which it was shared was completely made up.
This is how misinformation works in the age of social media: a real video, a high-impact match, and the need to share before verifying. Had you seen it going around? 🤔
