Why England’s World Cup could run out of gas in Mexico City

England’s next World Cup match is at 2,240m above sea level in Mexico City against the tournament hosts.

Altitude has many impacts on the human body, so acclimatisation is crucial.

While the Mexico team are used to playing in those conditions, the England players are not.

That means their performance is likely to be hampered, especially in the second half of the match.

Altitude specialist Nick Hart takes a look at how the team will be impacted by the conditions.

  5. This may come as shock to some but..
    blacks are Not English.
    English is an ethnicity..
    English ethnicity refers to the distinct cultural, historical, and ancestral identity of the English people – an indigenous group native to England.
    It is defined by shared language, ancestry (primarily a mix of Indigenous Celtic Britons and Anglo-Saxons), history, and traditions.
    So, blacks are Not English and should not be representing team England as they do not represent the English.
