England received a hostile welcome from hundreds of fans as they arrived at their Mexico City hotel for Sunday's World Cup last-16 tie against Mexico.

England had hoped to keep their location undisclosed after Mexican supporters used loudspeakers, horns and motorcycles to disturb Ecuador's players before their match.
