Leeds United fans were out in force in the Lone Star state tonight as they flew the flag as England kicked off their World Cup 2026 campaign.
The Lions kicked off their tournament against Croatia at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of America’s Team.
Captain Harry Kane acknowledged the anticipation of fans that England could go far at this tournament, saying he wants fans “to have that excitement”.
Kane said ahead of the match: “It’s one of the best opportunities we will have as a team to win it.”
Our photographer and England fan Steve Riding spotted these Leeds United fans who proved that it doesn’t matter where you go we’re still all Leeds aren’t we.
