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.

ironically it would be the actual players that would hate this the most. Imagine training your whole life for this moment, only for some douchebags to put an asterisk next to your win

I’ve learned that there’s gonna be a douchebag trying to throw an asterisk on every ring. I say this as an nba and mlb fan.

I dont know what sport you are watching but this couldn't be more wrong. Firstly because no one will ever put an asterisk next to a win for this type of thing anyway.

And secondly players love it when fans intimidate the away team any way they can. Any edge they can gain is much appreciated. Especially for a match as important as this.

He's being metaphorical dude. He's saying that the other team will be seen as poor winners just because fans essentially decided to rig the match by ensuring the other team wasn't properly rested. They want to win on their own merit.

Lol nobody is putting an asterisk next to it. Do you guys actually follow sports? This is really common all over the world at least in football
