England-Croatia Fans Drank 45,349 Beers at Texas Bar Near Stadium

Fans attending the World Cup match between England and Croatia in Arlington, Texas, displayed a significant thirst, consuming an astonishing 45,349 beers at a single venue near the AT&T Stadium. The bar, Texas Live!, reported that sales surpassed those typically seen during a Dallas Cowboys playoff game.

The high temperatures on match day likely contributed to the surge in beverage consumption, as supporters sought refuge in bars before the game commenced. The presence of numerous English fans was particularly noticeable in Dallas, with The Londoner Pub, a British-themed establishment, being overwhelmed by supporters of the Three Lions.

Fans at The Londoner Pub reportedly drank 5,000 beers on the Saturday night preceding the match, and organizers found it difficult to manage the enthusiastic crowds. The event highlighted the significant influx of international fans for the World Cup and their dedication to supporting their teams, even off the field.
