England's Hotel Guarded by Riot Police

More than 100 police officers with bulletproof vests are guarding England's World Cup hotel after the team received a hostile reception from Mexican fans.

England's team hotel is now under heavy police protection with over 100 officers in bulletproof vests stationed outside. The increased security comes after England's players were met with boos and cheers for Mexico when their bus arrived at the accommodation.

The team had hoped to keep their Mexico City location secret, but it was quickly revealed. This mirrors an incident with Ecuador earlier in the week when Mexican supporters created excessive noise outside their hotel. Mexico City authorities have doubled security personnel after four deaths during celebrations following Mexico's 2-0 victory over Ecuador. betsport24.es
