The England national football team faced mounting pressure during the 1986 World Cup after failing to win or score in their first two matches. The disappointment was particularly evident among the travelling fans in Mexico, who, despite their initial enthusiasm, vented their frustrations at the players. Gary Lineker, the team's striker, became a focal point for this anger as his scoring drought continued. The raucous atmosphere transformed into a wave of derision, leaving the players and supporters in discord as the team faced potential elimination from the tournament.
The anger from the travelling England fans was palpable, as they directed their frustration towards their own team after a dismal performance and lack of goals.
For Gary Lineker, the normally sharp-shooting striker, the pressure mounted as his goal drought extended into yet another disappointing match.
