Here’s why a certain small, blue pill could help England’s World Cup team in its match against Mexico
England prepare for what is sure to be an incredibly tough match against Mexico inside Mexico City.
When the going gets tough, sometimes you need the help of a little blue pill, right guys?
…Yes, that one.
MEXICO FANS CELEBRATED THE WORLD CUP TARGE SO MADLY THAT THEY TRIGGED INCREASES IN LOCAL SEISMOGRAPHES

You might think Viagra has a single, very specific use, but you’d be wrong. The Sun pointed out that England players could take the medication to cope with the altitude in Mexico City if they needed it.
Mexico City Stadium (which we all know as Azteca Stadium outside of World Cup times) is over 2,217 feet above sea level.
For comparison, the Denver Broncos’ Empower Field at Mile High sits a mile, or 5,280 feet, above sea level—no prizes for that.

However, Viagra, which is not on the list of banned substances of the World Anti-Doping Agency, has been revealed in some studies to reduce the feeling of fatigue and dizziness caused by altitude by lowering blood pressure in the lungs.
It makes sense since it is mainly used to transport blood to other places.
Something tells me this plan will happen far than perfect, but playing with mexicans inside Mexico, you need every advantage you can get.

In fact, when England arrived in Mexico ahead of Sunday’s match, the location of the team’s hotel was kept secret.

Because when Mexico faced Ecuador in the previous round, Mexican fans sat outside the hotel and did their best to prevent them from getting a good night’s sleep.

So, like I said, anything that will give you an advantage, and if that means popping a pill that will increase your “performance” then maybe that’s just what the doctor ordered.
Hey, it’s the World Cup; You’re doing what you have to do.
