Mexican fans blast horns outside Ecuador’s hotel, fueling a sleepless World Cup eve‎

Mexican soccer fans pulled out all the stops to give Ecuador a sleepless night ahead of their World Cup clash for the round of 32 late Tuesday at Mexico City stadium. From midnight until the early hours of the morning, dozens of fans gathered outside the Westin Hotel in Santa Fe, an upscale area on the outskirts of the capital using loudspeakers, horns, and motorcycles to disturb the visiting team’s rest. The disruption capped off a grueling logistical nightmare for Ecuador, who had deliberately planned a last-minute Monday night arrival to mitigate the effects of Mexico City’s 2,200-meter (7,300 feet) altitude.
