England are preparing for the ultimate hostile reception on the pitch in Mexico City and supporters will also have to be prepared for a similar welcome. A reinforced security presence for the Three Lions' last-16 World Cup showdown with Mexico is expected and the Foreign Office issued a warning on their website ahead of Sunday's gargantuan game. 'During the tournament, reports of mobile phone thefts and adulterated drinks have increased,' the government say. 'If you plan to return to the US for a later match and your passport is lost or stolen, you will not be able to use an emergency travel document provided by the British Embassy to re-enter the US from Mexico.'The travelling party, who have so far been located in Dallas, Boston and Atlanta for England games should also be warned that Mexico has a strict ban on bringing e-cigarettes and vapes into the country. Those caught transporting the items across the border face jail and a fine of up to £10,000. Mexico City will play host to England fans for the last-16 clash with one of the host nations - pictured is a man in a traditional Mexican wrestling mask after their win over EcuadorMexican authorities are already on high alert after the recent tragic deaths of three supporters who died following celebrations in crowds at the Angel of Independence in Mexico City following their win over Ecuador, another update issued by the Foreign Office. English fans have by and large avoided trouble at the World Cup thus far and there was a good-natured takeover of a baseball game in Atlanta by a large group, still kitted out in their shirts from the round of 32 game on Wednesday. They descended on Truist Park to take in an unfamiliar sport in the wake of the Three Lions' dramatic comeback over DR Congo at the World Cup.The supporters brought the kind of atmosphere usually reserved for the terraces on the other side of the Atlantic, chanting, dancing and singing as they watched the Atlanta Braves' home game against the St. Louis Cardinals. For no particular reason, the England fans chose Braves player Michael Harris II to hero worship and direct their support to. They serenaded him with 'walking in a Harris wonderland' and also belted out Three Lions (Football's Coming Home). The lyric 'there's only one Michael Harris' was of particular amusement given his full name. A roving reporter called Wiley Ballard went into the throng of England fans to gather the thoughts of one fan called 'Nige' from Bristol, who explained his connections had helped gain tickets for the ultimate sporting double header in Atlanta.
