Mexico supporters tried to disrupt England players' sleep with music and fireworks outside their hotel before Sunday's World Cup match. Police in riot gear moved the fans away from the hotel in Mexico City, and early reports suggest the players were minimally affected. Increased security follows a noise complaint from Ecuador after their sleep was disturbed by local fans last week.
