England’s two super fans Neal Weekes and Fil Sollof have already they would be up for a bit of Wild West Texan fun. A spokesman for one firm said: “Calling All England Fans! The World Cup is coming to Dallas this June and your ultimate match-day adventure starts in the Wild West heart of Texas!
“Forget the usual city break – why not catch England’s group stage in the iconic Dallas (Arlington) stadium and stay in Fort Worth, just a quick ride away? This isn’t just football, it’s a real slice of American adventure…take it from me – Fort Worth is full of surprises and stories to tell!
“Picture this: Wandering the brick streets of Fort Worth’s famous Stockyards, where cowboy boots tap to live country music Sipping legendary Texan moonshine after the match Dining at incredible steakhouses and buzzing local restaurants Exploring unique museums, rodeos, and the welcoming square I’ve fallen in love with on my own visits.
“With rich history, welcoming southern charm, and that genuine cowboy feel, Fort Worth is the perfect home base for your World Cup adventure. I’ll make sure you get the best flights, hotels, and local tips for an experience you’ll never forget.
“Ready to join the Three Lions in Texas style? Drop me a message for match-day packages, handpicked Fort Worth stays, and all the insider info you need for cheering England on in true cowboy fashion!”
Tottenham fans Weekes, 60, and Sollof, 60, will be flying to the US to attend their seventh World Cup together. He laughed: “This sounds brilliant. We always try and do something a bit different around the England matches. It was camels in Qatar!
“A bit of ‘Wild West’ sounds great – it will be a bit different from going to west London to watch Spurs play Chelsea in the ‘80s. But certainly safer Think my bull riding days are over but some cowboy stuff sounds fun. This is going to be a great World Cup.”
