Thousands of England fans travelled across the pond to Texas this week to watch their team in action against Croatia.

The Three Lions’ World Cup group-stage campaign began with a meeting against the Kockasti at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

England won the tie 4-2 after a shaky first half, and spirits are high among the fanbase, who have been speaking about their time in the USA so far, with one supporter revealing he has been left surprised by how much you sweat in Texas.

England fan surprised by how much he’s sweated in Texas

TheBlaze recently conducted a number of interviews on the street with European fans to get their verdict on the US.

The majority of the fans interviewed were from England, with one sharing: “We’ve given everything to be here. House mortgage, car payments, and we’re here.”

Another was asked: “Is there anything about Texas in particular that’s surprised you?”

To which he simply replied: “How much you sweat.”

A third England fan who made the trip to North America said: “The US is fantastic,” while the women in the US also earned a compliment from one travelling fan.

Meanwhile, the food in America has been praised by another supporter already this week, who was quick to mention just how good the beef he had tried in the BBQ was.

But England’s time in Texas is coming to an end, and they will now make the journey over to Boston to watch Thomas Tuchel’s team in action against Ghana on Tuesday.

Following that tie, they will go head-to-head with Panama at the New York New Jersey Stadium on June 27.

England are expected to advance past the group stage and qualify for the Round of 32, so they will be playing at the Atlanta Stadium in the knockout phase as long as they are able to top Group L.
