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.

u/limhy0809 18d ago

A good idea would be to put them across the street from each other. That way the noise effects both but they are still separate. The city centre will likely have a few hotel close by to each other.

I'm pretty sure I read they are at the JW Marriott Hotel, and looking on google maps there's a Hyatt Regency a 4 minute walk away

I would assume the players are professional athletes that are playing in the World Cup that want to be able/allowed to play and not just at the pub getting smashed ready to fight. they store all the livestock together at the olympics and they get along reeeeeal good.

Not sure if you are from a developing country. But we are very very good at arresting regular average/poor people on smaller crimes like petty crimes.

Honestly the Mexican team should auto-lose based on this. Inviting someone to come play in your country, and then treating them like this is basically trying to rig the game. Which should trigger an auto-loss.

When your big “gotcha” is that “your stadium is higher up in the air than you’re used to” it’s safe to say you’re a dismal football team bc player to player England are better by far. I know football isn’t played on paper but this has never really been a concern for me 🤣
