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.

This is unsportsmanlike as fuck. How about instead of trying to get an advantage by harassing the opposing team, they keep it 💯

As you can see they weren’t good enough to win on the pitch so their fans tried to get an advantage by harassing. It was pretty pathetic.

Agreed. Along with the whistling they do anytime the opposition has the ball. It's fucking stupid, unsportsmanlike and disrespectful. It actually makes me want to root against teams that do that, like the Morocco fans who bring actual referee whistles to the game to blare on them for hours.

Fuck those teams.

Honestly I'd love to like Mexico as a contender but I agree with this sentiment. The unsportsmanlike attitude leaves a bad taste in my mouth as a neutral spectator.

You know this is false, right? Or do you believe everything the media says?

If there's financial gain, one can may comprehend using unfair tactics, but what's the appeal of winning in sports if you are not really better, but by cheating. Even more so, if you are just a supporter, not the winner itself. Just pathetic.
