England Get Hostile Welcome

England received a hostile welcome as they arrived at their Mexico City hotel ahead of Sunday night’s World Cup last-16 tie against Mexico.

England had been hoping to keep their location undisclosed after Mexico supporters used loudspeakers, horns and motorcycles to try to disturb the sleep of Ecuador’s players before their last-32 tie, which the co-hosts won 2-0 on Wednesday night.

But when England’s coach arrived at their hotel, hundreds of fans were already there, with many booing while others chanted “Mexico”.

At least one supporter within the crowd could be seen holding up an England shirt.

Security has been increased outside the hotel after events earlier in the week, which led to complaints from Ecuador’s football federation.

There has also been an increase in security in the city after four people died during the celebrations that followed Mexico’s win over Ecuador.
