DALLAS – Team England has arrived in North Texas for their 2026 FIFA World Cup match against Croatia at Dallas Stadium.<\/p>\n
Team England\u2019s arrival <\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
The team arrived at Dallas-Love Field Airport around 4:30 p.m. after a morning training session at their home base in Kansas City.<\/p>\n
Players and coaches are expected to hold a news conference Tuesday evening while English fans gather at Seven Doors Kitchen and Cocktails. The event runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.<\/p>\n
Big picture view:<\/p>\n
All eyes are on this matchup as the English “Three Lions” look to even the score with Croatia after a heartbreaking loss in 2018.<\/p>\n
In the semi-final of the World Cup in Moscow, the Croatian team took out the giant England 2-1 in extra time. England went home just short of competing for a title.<\/p>\n
The two teams have met since then, with England beating Croatia in their last two competitive matches.<\/p>\n
And this time around, England is favored to win. Many experts predict they\u2019ll at least make it to the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
What’s next:<\/p>\n
England and Croatia will face off at 3 p.m. CT on Wednesday at Dallas Stadium.<\/p>\n
English super fan tries Tex-Mex for the first time <\/p>\n
FOX 4\u2019s Amelia Jones met up with an English super fan, Andy Milne, and his friend, Stuart Kenyon, at the Mi Cocina restaurant at Dallas\u2019 Klyde Warren Park on Monday.<\/p>\n
Amelia interviewed Milne back in March after he sold his house to help fund his World Cup trip. He told her he was looking forward to trying Tex-Mex and frozen margaritas.<\/p>\n
What they’re saying:<\/p>\n
Neither of the Englishmen had tried chips and queso before, and they enjoyed their first taste. “Oh wow, that’s lovely, that’s amazing!”<\/p>\n
Everything else got high marks, except for maybe the ranch water they tried.<\/p>\n
They both said they are looking forward to Wednesday\u2019s game at Dallas Stadium and hopefully a tournament title.<\/p>\n
