The Mexican fans put their famous strategy into practice, terrorizing the English before the duel in the optics: fireworks and fanfare at the hotel.

The atmosphere before the England vs Mexico match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers became highly tense as Mexican fans attempted to disrupt the preparation of the English team. Thousands of Mexican supporters, accompanied by musicians, set off fireworks and created loud noise outside the hotel where the English delegation was staying, aiming to prevent the players from getting adequate rest. This tactic is not new for Mexican fans, who used a similar strategy before their 2-0 victory against Ecuador in the quarterfinals. In response, England’s coaching staff, led by Thomas Tuchel, provided players with earplugs and natural remedies to aid sleep. The English Football Association also increased security around the hotel, deploying additional agents to prevent any incidents.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual account of the actions taken by Mexican fans and the subsequent measures by the English team and federation. It does not take a clear ideological stance but reports the situation objectively, balancing both the actions of the fans and the responses from the authorities
