For traveling World Cup fans looking to get a taste of Texas, it doesn\u2019t get more authentic than the Fort Worth Stockyards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love it here,\u201d said Clauvio Varela, an Argentina fan. \u201cIt really brings you back down to the country life of what cowboys are all about.\u201d<\/p>\n
The twice daily cattle drive can only be described as something from the big screens for those traveling internationally.<\/p>\n
\u201cImpressive. We don\u2019t have such type of cows in Austria. The longhorns,\u201d said Daniel Scharbel, an Austria fan visiting Texas for the first time. \u201cThe information you get from movies.”<\/p>\n
In between games, it\u2019s Cowtown that becomes a melting pot of fans from all corners of the world, like Case and his daughter.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s very Texas,\u201d said Case. \u201cI feel very Texan here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Case is from Japan and lives in Chicago. It\u2019s his first time in Texas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very nice. Huge. Buc-ee\u2019s I love,” Case said.<\/p>\n
Fans like Case have been a highlight of the World Cup for Lindsey Perales.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to come here and interact with them as customers, and they have so many questions, and they’re all just like in shock of everything, so I find it very entertaining,\u201d Perales said.<\/p>\n
Perales\u00a0works at Will Leather Goods, just steps away from the cattle drive. On this day, she was working on designing a custom leather tag.<\/p>\n
\u201c[My boss] likes to make them for the kids and parents, people from out of town. So it\u2019s something just to kind of give them,”\u00a0said Perales. “A little keepsake so you can kind of remember us forever.”<\/p>\n
She\u2019s giving fans a Texas welcome they won\u2019t forget for years to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople here generally in the U.S. and especially here in Texas are really nice, and we really love being here and having the World Cup, and U.S. are a great host country,\u201d said Scharbel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For traveling World Cup fans looking to get a taste of Texas, it doesn\u2019t get more authentic than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":356701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[2160,116,118,117,14210,11586,223,27,1569,2053,835,29003],"class_list":["post-356700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-app-top-stories","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-human-interest","tag-lauren-rangel","tag-news","tag-texas","tag-texas-what-you-need-to-know","tag-top-stories","tag-vod","tag-world-cup-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=356700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/356701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=356700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=356700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=356700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
