A Brazilian teenager told today how he got through tight security to meet England players at the team's Rio hotel - just by waving an out-of-date room key card he'd found on the street. Abraao Paiva de Mesquita, 18, claimed he walked straight past police, army troops and security staff at the Royal Tulip hotel to make it to the outdoor swimming pool, where members of the squad were relaxing. Abraao, who lives in the nearby violent Rocinha favela, said he was never searched or asked for ID as he wandered the hotel's corridors looking for England stars.
