England vs New Zealand LIVE: Harry Kane heads in opener as Tuchel changes ENTIRE team
This could be the ex-pat World Cup.
There’s so many US-based England fans planning to come to games.
Around 1,500 England fans bought tickets through official channels but the FA are expecting only 1,350 of them to turn up. I didn’t see many outside when I arrived but they are filling up in numbers now.
That is incredible support. Thomas Tuchel said yesterday that he wanted to offer a “big thank you” to the fans who were coming. What an incredible effort.
The incentive is that the loyal “top cappers” get caps for this and the next friendly (Costa Rica in Orlando next Wednesday).
That entitles them to privileges like World Cup tickets (which don’t count as caps).
England fans are sensational. The best I see while covering international football. But I’m unashamedly biased.
