More than 100 riot police are stationed outside the hotel where England is staying in Mexico, after the team receives a hostile reception on arrival ahead of its World Cup last-16 match against Mexico. Multiple reports say officers are in riot-control gear, with additional security measures including a police dog and a drone operating near the premises. The England team bus is also reported to be parked outside the hotel as part of the enhanced security. The reports link the decision to increase security to disturbances associated with supporters. They describe Mexico supporters using loudspeakers, horns and motorcycles to try to disrupt sleeping conditions for Ecuador’s players before their last-32 match, which Mexico won 2-0 on Wednesday night. England had been aiming to keep the hotel location secret as it prepares to play Mexico. The sources agree that the police presence is intended to protect the team and prevent further disruption around the hotel while England prepares for the knockout tie.
