"Please Leave" - Texas Bar in Panic as 5,000 Beers Vanish Overnight Amid Influx of England Fans

Drank About 60 Million Won Worth of Alcohol in One Night

During the group stage match between England and Croatia at the 2026 North and Central America World Cup, bars in Texas, USA, were packed with British fans. The supporters watched England’s match and consumed thousands of pints of beer in one night, eventually forcing the bar to close early.

According to English-language media outlets such as CBS News and LBC, on the 17th (local time), Texas bars were overflowing with visiting fans who had come to watch the World Cup match between England and Croatia. The match took place at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, and British fans gathered at The Londoner's Pub, located near Dallas, to drink and enjoy the game together.

Hundreds of enthusiastic supporters flocked to The Londoner's Pub in a short period of time, and it is reported that they consumed over 5,000 pints of beer within a few hours. This is equivalent to 2,352 bottles and amounts to 30,000 pounds (approximately 60.88 million won).

The Londoner's Pub usually operates until dawn, but on this day, two Texas police officers arrived and recommended the bar close early, around 10 p.m. The overwhelming number of fans had made it impossible for the pub to cope. The British fans initially resisted the police's request to leave, but after the owner closed the doors, they eventually moved out onto the street.

According to LBC, that night, the streets of Dallas were taken over by excited British fans. Waving St. George’s flags symbolizing England, they sang team chants loudly and marched through nearby neighborhoods. It is reported that around 20 police vehicles were dispatched to monitor the situation. However, many British fans returned to the pub later in the evening and helped the staff clean up the mess they had made.

Meanwhile, England overwhelmed Croatia 4–2 in their first Group L match of this year’s World Cup. Eight years ago, England lost to Croatia in the semi-finals of the Russia World Cup and failed to reach the final, but this time they succeeded in settling the score. In particular, England’s star striker Harry Kane scored twice in this match. As a member of the England national team, he set a new record by scoring in three consecutive World Cups (2018, 2022, 2026), becoming the first to do so since David Beckham.
