England arrives in Mexico City amid fan hostility before World Cup match
Summary

England's national soccer team was met with boos as they arrived at their hotel in Mexico City on July 4 to prepare for their World Cup last-16 match against Mexico, scheduled for Sunday. Increased security measures are in place following complaints from Ecuador about noise disturbances during their stay. Hundreds of local fans gathered outside the hotel, some cheering for Mexico while others jeered at the English team. England's preparations faced further disruption due to potential changes to the match schedule prompted by weather forecasts, although the kickoff will proceed as planned. The team is also adapting to the challenges of playing at high altitude, with Mexico City sitting at approximately 2,240 meters above sea level.
