Thousands of Mexican fans had arrived carrying drums, musical instruments, loudspeakers and firecrackers. Then all through the night they all made a lot of noise and kept singing songs and shouting slogans. The only objective of these fans was that the England players should not be able to sleep peacefully the night before the match and should be disturbed by the noise throughout the night so that they feel mentally and physically tired on the day of the match.
Organizers’ efforts failed
The special thing about this entire incident is that the organizers were already aware of it and hence the name and location of the hotel of the England team was not made public. But somehow the Mexican fans got wind of this and since then they started gathering outside the hotel. However, for all this, ‘anti-riot’ police had already been deployed in large numbers outside the hotel. Now what effect it will have will be known in the match.
