Thalia is facing some trouble after a photo she posted. After the Mexican singer published a picture of herself wrapped in the flag of Mexico on her Instagram account, it is speculated that ‘¿Qué Será de Ti?’ singer could be fined. Tommy Mottola's wife released the photo on June 13 to mark a photomontage of support for the Mexican national team that defeated Cameroon, one zero. It is reported that the actress and singer could face an economic sanction by the "misuse" of the national flag.

Thalia is facing some heat for being supportive of El Tri - Mexian fans can be a bit extreme. It is unclear whether the fine can apply to a case of a photomontage, and neither Thalia nor her representative have commented. The former Timbiriche star is not the only one who has caused controversy with a similar image: her former bandmate Paulina Rubio was fined in 2008 for posing in the Spanish edition of Cosmopolitan magazine naked and covered only with the flag of Mexico.

El Tri may also be facing fines for its particular form of support. FIFA is launching an official investigation regarding the behavior of El Tri's fans at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Mexico's fans can be very vocal and outspoken in their support of “El Tri,” The fans have gotten particularly vocal given against opposition players, chanting 'puto' which can be considered a homophobic slur. Whether or not the slur can be called homophobic, El Tri fans insist they are just showing their support.
