England manager Thomas Tuchel laughed off rumours that players were given Viagra to cope with high-altitude conditions before the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 clash against Mexico national football team. Tuchel called the speculation "the strangest question" he had faced and insisted the squad was fully focused on preparation. He also revealed that noisy England supporters gathered outside the team's hotel overnight, disrupting players' sleep with chants and celebrations.
