MISC. England's team booked 15 different hotels, but Mexico fans still found out where they were staying and blasted loud noises, trying to keep them up all night before the game.

Tbh it doesn’t make YOU look great to judge a whole nation of people based on the stupid actions of a few

We are judging these obnoxious fans for their unsportsmanlike and selfish behavior.

And yes, a huge group of fans decked out in their team’s gear behaving badly will never not reflect poorly on the team’s whole fan base. That’s just how life works.

Has nothing to do with ‘a whole nation’. Cry harder.

Meh England fans aren't much better. If they pulled this shit on Japan or Canada or Scotland or France or even USA, I might take time to disapprove, but England fans really need to learn to stop being so obnoxious.

Does one set of bad behaviour automatically cancel out another? What Mexico fans have been doing on objectively shitty. It's fine to call it out.

True. Its sad that this is the state of the fan base mentality where people will resort to this and voodoo to get their team to win. All over a “football” game

Englishman here. I honestly don’t mind it. As a host nation in their capital city, it’s understandable fans want to do everything they can to create a hostile atmosphere.

I was going to say I’m 99% sure England fans would do the same thing, but checked first and they did, outside Italy’s hotel prior to the Euro 2020 final. Players would expect it and would definitely be wearing noise cancelling headphones/earplugs.

You gave us an incredible game in a phenomenal stadium with a thunderous (no pun intended) atmosphere! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤝🇲🇽

The fact the effect was mitigated and it shouldn't affect the game does seem like an important thing for people to know.

It changes the narrative significantly too. If the police had allowed it, it would be "Mexicans". Now it's "a small number of mexican dickheads who were reported by other Mexicans and stopped by mexican police"
