MEXICO CITY \u2014 Despite police blockades, dozens of Mexican fans gathered outside the England<\/a> national team\u2019s hotel until the early hours of Sunday morning, hoping to disrupt players\u2019 sleep ahead of their World Cup<\/a> round-of-16 match against co-host Mexico.<\/p>

Armed with loudspeakers, horns and fireworks, the crowd gathered outside the JW Marriott hotel in Santa Fe, in the western part of Mexico City and did its best to disturb the guests.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, \u201cEl Tri\u201d supporters deployed the same tactics<\/a> before a crucial match against Ecuador \u2014 Mexico won 2\u20130 \u2014 prompting the Ecuadorian football federation to file a formal complaint with organizers.<\/p>\n

England manager Thomas Tuchel anticipated the disruption but downplayed its potential impact.<\/p>

\u201cWe have a 6 p.m. (Sunday) kickoff, so if we miss some hours of sleep, we\u2019ll make them up in the late morning,\u201d Tuchel said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

These late-night hotel \u201cserenades\u201d are an entrenched and polarizing tradition in Latin American football. While they began as a passionate display of support for the home team, they have increasingly evolved into a psychological weapon designed to deprive opponents of sleep.<\/p>
