England World Cup fans take over downtown Dallas ahead of first match against Croatia today
England will be roared on by an army of 10,000 coming ‘across the pond’ - but FIFA bosses believe another 15,000 or so ex-pats have snapped up tickets to try and turn the Dallas Cowboys stadium into Wembley
It's finally here! England kick off their World Cup campaign against Croatia later today. Fans have been waiting for months for the big Three Lions’ kick off - which comes almost a week after the tournament started. They have taken over downtown Dallas with a huge army of supporters sitting in the sunshine bellowing out “ Football ’s Coming Home.” Gary Taylor, 64, said: “We’ve been waiting for so long. We’re so excited we finally have our first game.” Many of them took a short walk to visit the notorious ‘grassy knoll’ where President Kennedy was shot in 1963.
