England prepares for disruptive Mexican fan gathering before World Cup match

England is set to face Mexico in a FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match at Estadio Azteca, scheduled for Sunday at 8 PM local time. Ahead of the game, thousands of Mexican fans are reportedly planning to congregate outside the England team's hotel to disrupt their rest. England aims to keep their hotel location confidential and may seek to arrive late in Mexico City due to altitude concerns. This tradition of fan disturbances has previously affected teams, as seen with Ecuador, who experienced similar disruptions before their match against Mexico earlier this week. England won their previous match against DR Congo, securing their place in this knockout round.
