The English national team has postponed its flight to Mexico City for their World Cup last-16 match against Mexico due to espionage concerns, according to the "Daily Mail." Following their 2-1 victory over DR Congo, Thomas Tuchel's squad reportedly returned to their training base in Kansas City instead of traveling directly to Mexico City. This decision stems from fears that the Mexicans might attempt to spy on England's tactical plans for the upcoming fixture.

The English team's training camp is currently under heightened security. Earlier reports indicated that Mexican fans were planning to give their opponents a "night of hell." They intend to deprive players of sleep on the eve of their 2026 World Cup last-16 match by using powerful loudspeakers and car horns. The Mexico vs. England match is scheduled for July 6th.
