England Fans 'Take Over' US with Unforgettable Atmosphere
The England football team and their fans have arrived in the US for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the Three Lions hoping to finally lift the trophy after 60 years of hurt. The squad was at Dallas Stadium yesterday for their opening fixture against Croatia, emerging triumphant with a 4-2 victory.
What Happened?
One American man, Casey Settleman, who describes himself as the 'Soccer guy' for Snapback Sports, shared his six-word assessment of the England supporters on his Instagram account. He stated: "First impression of the England fans here in Dallas... This is going to be insane."
Why it Matters for England
Casey claimed the England supporters "completely took over Texas" and suggested it was "by far going to be the best fan experience" he has ever encountered. He also mentioned that he questioned around 10-12 supporters, 'What do I need to do to be a true England fans?' Disclosing their response, he maintained they instructed him he needed to "get on the beers".
What Comes Next?
The post proved hugely popular, amassing over 10,000 likes. One individual concurred: "England and Scotland fans are the best from Europe by far." Meanwhile, a fourth joked: "If both Scotland and England get past the quarterfinals, there will be no beer left in the US, never mind the city."
England (along with their supporters) now have several days to recuperate and gear up for their next World Cup fixture, which takes place against Ghana on Tuesday. The match will be broadcast in the UK on BBC One at 9pm BST.
Last result: England 1-2 Argentina (2026-07-15). Recent form (last 5): 4W-0D-1L (LWWWW, most recent first). Currently sidelined: R. James, J. Quansah, J. Henderson. Next fixture: vs France (away, 2026-07-18).
