"This Mexico national team is the scariest one in the World Cup."

Así reaccionaron los mexicanos en redes sociales
Mexican users also responded to the video. While some were surprised by the respect shown toward the Mexican National Team, others pointed out that the English fans are simply acknowledging the level of their opponent and avoided falling into arrogance.
Among the comments, these stand out:
"No one had ever been afraid of us."
"There's the difference, maybe deep down they are sure they can win, but they don't say it in an arrogant way; they are joining in the World Cup hype."
"This is the difference. It's not about self-aggrandizement, it's about acknowledging the rival."
"Man, we're usually always on the other side. What do you do in these cases?"
"This is how rivals should be. They are superior and they know it, and we do too, but that doesn't mean they belittle Mexico. It's going to be a great duel; may the best team win."
¿La altura del Estadio Ciudad de México puede afectar a Inglaterra?
In addition to the atmosphere usually generated by Mexican fans, experts and fans consider that the altitude of Mexico City could become an important factor for the England team.
While London is approximately 11 meters above sea level, Mexico City has an average altitude of 2,240 meters above sea level, a difference that could affect players who are not used to playing in such conditions.
The difference in altitude can cause altitude sickness in people who are not accustomed to it, with symptoms including fatigue, shortness of breath, and headaches.
On this subject, the coach of The Three Lions, Thomas Tuchel, stated:
"The altitude will be a major disadvantage; we cannot physically adapt to it, and in four days it is simply impossible."
