England's World Cup Hotel Guarded by Riot Police

England's team hotel for their World Cup round of 16 match against Mexico is under heavy security protection with more than 100 police officers in bulletproof vests stationed outside. The team had hoped to keep their hotel location in Mexico City secret, but it was quickly revealed. afnews.co.za

The squad received a hostile welcome upon arrival, with hundreds of Mexican fans booing them and cheering for Mexico. This follows similar incidents after Ecuador's match earlier in the week, where supporters used loudspeakers, horns, and motorcycles to create noise outside the hotel. Mexico City authorities have doubled security personnel and reduced capacity for public viewing areas after four people died in celebrations following Ecuador's 2-0 victory.
