England officials say there is no evidence that noisy Mexico fans at a late-night hotel interfered with the team’s preparations ahead of its World Cup last-16 match. In reporting from Mexico City, a security official speaks outside the hotel and dismisses claims that the environment or fan activity had unsettled the England squad. The accounts describe how the fans’ presence and noise were discussed in the context of whether players were distracted before the match against Germany. The reporting also indicates that players do not appear affected by the episode and instead make light of the atmosphere being more hostile in other settings. Both sources attribute the response to the same kind of on-the-ground security assessment at the hotel, emphasizing that England’s preparation is not portrayed as compromised. The discussion is presented as a direct rebuttal to speculation that the late-night incident could have impacted focus, training, or readiness for the upcoming knockout game. The reports converge on the point that, according to security, the squad’s plans proceed as intended.
