The whole nation is eagerly anticipating England’s first World Cup 2026 match against Croatia.
It has been a long build-up, but England take on Croatia tonight (Wednesday June 17) at the Dallas Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the kick-off time is 9pm BST. Thirteen hours ago, England’s captain Harry Kane took to his Instagram and wrote: “Can’t wait to lead our team out at another World Cup! Excited to get on the pitch tomorrow with the boys! I know we’ll have incredible support out here and at home! We will give everything we’ve got! 🏴🦁.”
In response, one fan wrote: “Best of luck Harry. We are with you all the way. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” whilst another said: “Just give everything. You have the talent in the squad. Play to win, be ruthless. Take no prisoners.
“Big teams have already started poorly. Send a message to the other teams.
“This England team is here to WIN! Regardless of who you're playing. Doesn't matter if you go 1-0 in the first minute. Stay positive, you will win , you are England. We are with you!”
Two days ago, Harry Kane said: “A warm welcome in Kansas and great to meet so many fans. 🤝🙌.”
At the 2006 World Cup in Baden-Baden a lot of the attention was given over to the WAGS, the England wives and girlfriends rather than the football team itself. Without question, the Queen Bee of the set was Victoria Beckham, closely followed by the then Cheryl Cole who was often by Victoria Beckham’s side.
There was also Wayne Rooney’s wife Coleen and Peter Crouch’s wife Abbey Clancy as well as Steven Gerrard’s then girlfriend Alex Gerrard, the pair married a year later. When it comes to WAGS in 2026, there are some who are more than likely skipping the group stage or others who have chosen to stay in Florida.
Supporting Harry Kane will be his wife Kate, the couple are childhood sweethearts who got engaged in 2017. The couple married a couple of years later and are parents to two daughters, Ivy Jane and Vivienne Jane and two sons, Louis Harry and Henry Edward.
Ollie Watkins will be supported by his wife Ellie, the couple married on May 18, 2025 in the South of France. The couple share two children together: a daughter Amara May and a son named Marley.
Three days ago Ellie Wakins took to Instagram and shared a photograph from their wedding, she wrote: “Forever to go ❤️ feel so lucky to have found a love like this.
@olliewatkins happy anniversary ❤️.”
Bukayo Saka has been dating longtime partner Tolami Benson since 2020 and the couple are engaged. Jude Bellingham is likely to be supported by his girlfriend, American influencer and model Ashlyn Castro who is from Los Angeles.
