Explained in plain English
What are away sections?
Away sections are specific areas in a stadium reserved for supporters of the visiting team. They're designed to keep rival fans separate, ensuring safety and managing crowd behaviour. Thomas Tuchel's comments about the friendly Mexican fans suggest that even with mixed reactions, the atmosphere for England's away support might be less confrontational than in some other venues.
