United KingdomThe UK's top football policing official, Chief Constable Mark Roberts, has warned England fans traveling to Mexico for the World Cup match against Mexico to 'be sensible' due to fears of being 'massively outnumbered.' The match, scheduled for Monday morning, has already caused tensions in Mexico City, with over 100 riot police guarding the England team's hotel. Four fans died in a previous incident involving Mexican crowds, raising safety concerns. Roberts noted that while most spectators in the stadium are expected to support England, the number of England fans will be significantly smaller than the local supporters. He also highlighted ongoing investigations into online abuse targeting the England team. Meanwhile, the match was moved back to its original date due to weather concerns, prompting pubs to extend opening hours and schools to adjust schedules, leading to concerns about increased public safety risks.
