Mexico have been forced to return luxury watches that were gifted to them by the YouTuber Stevewilldoit.
The content creator — whose real name is Stephen Deleonardis — said on Instagram that he had given every player in the Mexico squad and member of staff on the team an “expensive” watch ahead of their round-of-32 clash with Ecuador.
Mexico won that game 2-0 to set up a blockbuster showdown with England in the round-of-16 on Sunday evening.
Deleonardis also posted a video to YouTube that showed him gifting the Mexico squad the watches, in which he said: “I love you guys and you guys are gonna f—— win tomorrow.”
