Mexico Fans' Noise Tactics Ahead of England Clash
5 Jul
Summary
- Mexico supporters created noise outside England's hotel.
- Fireworks and loud music aimed to disrupt England's sleep.
- Enhanced security deployed around the England team's hotel.
Mexican supporters employed a disruptive tactic by setting off fireworks and playing loud music outside the England team's hotel in Mexico City on Sunday morning. This occurred ahead of a significant World Cup last-16 clash. The aim was clearly to disturb the sleep of the England squad before their high-altitude match.
This strategy mirrors a similar incident before Mexico's previous match against Ecuador, which resulted in a complaint to FIFA. England anticipated this disruption, with many players reportedly bringing sleep aids. The team arrived amidst uncertainty about the match's kick-off time due to weather concerns.
Authorities have implemented a substantial security presence around the England team's hotel, featuring riot police and surveillance equipment. The overall security operation in Mexico City for this fixture is reportedly unprecedented for an England football match.
