England fans take over Dallas pub ahead of World Cup opener

England fans have taken over a Dallas pub ahead of their World Cup 2026 opener against Croatia on Wednesday (17 June).

Thomas Tuchel’s squad begins their campaign at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, with the match expected to be attended by thousands of fans from the UK.

Ahead of the match, hundreds of fans, many draped in England flags, gathered at the Londoner Pub until late on Tuesday (16 June) before being moved on by police as the venue reached over-capacity.

The pub managed to sell more than 5,000 beers in total, making more than £30,000.
