@dailymail: Thousands of people attempted to break the Guinness World Record for the largest Mexican wave in the country where the beloved stadium ritual originated. The event commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Mexican wave gaining global recognition at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, although its exact origins remain disputed, with some American crowds also credited with early versions. Mexico is also set to become the first country to host or co-host the men’s World Cup three times, having previously staged the tournament in 1970 and 1986. #mexico #worldcup #fifa
