Mexican fans plan 'night of hell' for England squad

Ahead of England's World Cup Round of 16 clash against Mexico, thousands of Mexican fans are reportedly planning to disrupt the English squad's sleep in Mexico City.

Fans intend to use powerful audio speakers, car horns, motorcycles, and pyrotechnics outside England's hotel to create a "night of hell" before the crucial match at the Azteca Stadium.

This tactic was previously used against Ecuador before their Round of 32 match in Mexico City, leading to a 2-0 victory for Mexico and an official complaint from the Ecuadorian Football Federation to FIFA.

The English FA and coaching staff are urgently developing a counter-plan, complicated by FIFA regulations requiring teams to arrive in the host city at least 24 hours before kick-off, as well as the need for altitude acclimatization.
