Mexico vs England
The night before Mexico played Ecuador in their Round of 32 World Cup game, what did fans do outside the Ecuador team’s hotel?
All night fans…
played the trumpet and drums
sang songs supporting the Mexican team
honked their horns and revved their engines
released fireworks
Why?
honk / beep a horn
rev an engine = increase the power to make the loud sound
England played Mexico next. What should England do to avoid the same problems?
Some people suggested they book a few hotels to trick fans.
Actually England first tried to keep their hotel a secret. However fans found out where England was staying.
England asked the police to put roadblocks around their hotel to stop fans getting so close
The match will be played at the Azteca stadium in Mexico city. The stadium is 2,200 metres above sea level. How will this affect the players?
At this altitude there is less oxygen so players will get tired quickly.
altitude = height above sea level
