England WAGs including Jude Bellingham's girlfriend Ashlyn Castro gather to watch their men take on Croatia…  as Jordan Pickford's wife Megan salvages a last-minute outfit

England's WAGS have taken to the stands of Dallas Stadium tonight as their Three Lions partners prepare to take on Croatia in their first World Cup match. 

Jude Bellingham's girlfriend, Ashlyn Castro, had two drinks in hand as she carefully walked to her seat, wearing a camouflage skirt and an England top. 

She looked effortlessly glamorous as her long black her fell over her shoulders, coupled with a neutral make-up look. 

Meanwhile, Ollie Watkins' influencer wife, Ellie Alderson, was seen enthusiastically chatting with a friend as she donned a red Three Lions kit top. 

Meanwhile, Jordan Pickford's wife, Megan, seemingly adopted Dallas chic, donning a denim cowboy hat with her husband's shirt number in the centre – supporting with pride. 

Her long blonde tresses draped over her shoulders as she kept it simple with a white vest, denim bottoms, coupled with brown sunglasses and a drink in hand, well prepared for the Texan heat.

It comes as she salvaged a last-minute outfit for England's first World Cup 2026 match, sharing mere hours before the face-off.

Taking to Instagram, Megan told fans she was considering borrowing her son's Arlo's  England shirt after losing her suitcase. 

But while filming a hilarious Instagram clip with Ollie's wife Ellie, she seemed to have swapped the top for a classic white outfit.

The WAGS have travelled to the US for England's first group game against Croatia, and have kicked off the 2026 campaign in style. 

And Ellie was ready to cheer on her partner in the tournament, sporting a low-cut England shirt and heels as both she and Megan strutted out of their hotel. 

Like many WAGs, it seemed the mother-of-three had brought some of her designer accessories, with her mini Birkin bag in view on her hotel bed. 

She captioned the post: 'Arrived in America… my suitcase did not. Can I wear my seven-year-old's shirt for the game tonight or not.'

Megan also shared a video on TikTok about the drama, with the caption: 'My top 5 horror stories…

'Arriving in America for the World Cup. My suitcase did not arrive. Now sharing my seven-year-old's kit. My husband plays tonight. The airline hasn't got back with when my case will come.' 

Megan, an Instagram star who has assumed a 'mother hen' status with other WAGS, often organising pre-match parties, said she would be rushing to Boots or TJ Maxx to buy a replacement pair of jeans.

She said: 'I'm in Dallas I asked the taxi driver where I could get some jeans he said they have a bills boots or a TJ Maxx.'

She was supported by Ellie Anderson, wife of striker Ollie Watkins, who described it as her 'worst nightmare', adding: 'Don't worry I've got three suitcases full, coming to the rescue.'

Kate Kane, wife of Harry Kane, made sure her bag fit the requirements by wearing a £2,000 Chanel crossbody phone case bag, posting snaps of herself in a chic denim dress ahead of the match. 

Bukayo Saka's fiancée joined in on the World Cup fashion show, sporting a double denim co-ord with hints of red on her phone case, hat and thin skirt belt. 

She topped off the look, which she shared on her Instagram story, with a pair of slim sunglasses.

Ellie previously admitted her long-haul flight was 'going to be chaos' due to travelling with their two young children and a 'ridiculous' amount of suitcases. 

The WAGs touched down in Dallas on Wednesday, joining a buzzing atmosphere ahead of Thomas Tuchel's side kicking off their campaign.

Their arrival came just hours after England fans were turfed out of local pubs during a wild night of partying for travelling supporters. 

Meanwhile, John Stones' glamorous wife Olivia announced she was 'ready for the half-time show' on Instagram, sporting a red Three Lions top and a small beige clutch. 

But in keeping with Dallas-style, she wore a pair of dark denim short and brown cowboy boots as her long brown tresses flowed over her shoulders.  

An estimated 16million people watched the Three Lions on ITV at home and in pubs, drinking some 24million pints of beer, leading to fears of 'hangover Thursday' and a raft of sickies.

The £355million big match blowout was likely to have been Britain's biggest TV audience for two years.

Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: 'We anticipated an extra five million pints being pulled in pubs for England's first game as we all cheer on the team, in a massive boost for the sector.'

BrightHR, which monitors absence among over a million employees at over 50,000 UK companies, said sickness rates would double today (THU) if the trend from Euro 2024 was repeated. 

Chief executive Alan Price said: 'Employers are bracing for 'Hangover Thursday' and we predict a sharp rise in absenteeism due to many fans' sore heads.'

In the sweltering Texas heat, fans were in jubilant mood as they began arriving hours before kick-off at the space-age Dallas Stadium, in Arlington, 20 miles west of downtown Dallas where hundreds of fans had taken the chance to visit the Grassy Knoll and scene of JFK's assassination.

It comes after local police went into the Londoner Pub in Dallas well before the 2am closing time to move fans on.

And it wasn't just the Texan watering holes being overrun by England fans, as they also took over the rodeo on Tuesday.

Dozens of die-hard Three Lions fans caught the last flight out of London on Tuesday to make tonight's opening game against Croatia. 

England's Group L campaign starts with a tricky assignment in Arlington, with their opponents ranked 11th in the world. They defeated the Three Lions in the semi-finals of the 2018 tournament in Russia.

Pubs near the Dallas Stadium were busy from 9am local time this morning as an army of some 20,000 England supporters clad in white or red shirts and cowboy hats descended on the town.

With pints of beer in some of the surrounding bars costing £5 – even cheaper than London – many fans were taking the opportunity to have a drink before going into the giant stadium where bars were selling Stella Artois for £13.40.

There was a friendly rivalry with the thousands of Croatian fans who have flocked to Texas for the showdown. The old foes put England out of the 2018 World Cup in the semi-finals. Their 40-year-old diminutive talisman Luka Modric was England’s tormentor in the side which beat the Three Lions 2-1, and their fans were wearing his red and white chequered number 10 shirt.

At another branch of The Londoner pub, a few minutes’ walk from the ground, a boisterous crowd hung a St George’s flag up in the bar and were singing along to Oasis classics occasionally interspersed with ‘Ingerland, Ingerland, Ingerland’.

Even though it was only 11am the bar was doing a roaring trade with pints of lager and Guinness being sunk as staff were rushed off their feet.

Engineer Courtenay Claussnitzer, 55, originally from London, was at the pub with his son Miles, 16, and they had flown in from Atlanta where they live.. They had paid $1100 for each ticket. Miles said: ‘I’m so excited, dad is having a beer but I’m too young to drink. The atmosphere is brilliant and being with the fans amazing.’

In the muggy 33C heat, England supporters sang Sweet Caroline and Football’s Coming Home as they marched to the stadium brimming with confidence that this could finally be England’s time.

It is 60 years next month since captain Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy at Wembley in 1966, the only time England has ever won the tournament.

Croatia were England’s biggest challenge of their three Group L qualifiers. Thomas Tuchel’s squad play Ghana in Boston next Tuesday, then Panama in New Jersey’s MetLife stadium on Saturday June 27.

Last night the squad flew straight back to their training base in Kansas City for five days of rest and preparation for clash with the Ghana team, known as the ‘Black Stars’.

At The Londoner there was also sporadic chanting of “Keir Starmer is a xxxxxx’ which has been outlawed by FIFA.

Charlotte Tate, manager of The Londoner, told the Daily Mail:’We have a few pubs across Dallas called The Londoner and it’s being going nuts the last few days.

‘We ran out of bottled beer at the downtown Dallas venue and then the barrels went as well but we’ve been onto our vendors and we are going to get more in.

‘Business has been great and everyone is having a fabulous time and I want to let everyone know we won’t be running out of beer.

England fans travelled from far and wide and arrived in the US in high spirits

Dallas Police ask England supporters to leave the establishment on Tuesday night 

‘It’s been boisterous but there hasn’t been any bad behaviour we have security on the door and some of the furniture has been damaged and the plants have had it but nothing serious.

‘The numbers have been overwhelming but nothing we can handle, we have a capacity of 200 but with the outdoor space we can do 240.

‘This morning when we opened up at 10amhere was a huge line of people and we are doing a one in one out policy.

‘I’m actually going to the game as well, one of our suppliers has got me a ticket I know it will be a tough game, but we will win, I’m nervous but confident.’
