Megan Pickford, wife of England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, was spotted in the stands during England's dramatic FIFA World Cup Round of 32 victory over DR Congo on July 2, 2026. The 30-year-old lifestyle influencer, who has 158,000 Instagram followers, shared her match verdict in a seven-word post: 'Prayers were said to the lord tonight.'
England's Comeback Victory
At the Atlanta Stadium in Georgia, USA, Thomas Tuchel's England side fell 1-0 behind in the first half after DR Congo's Brian Cipenga exploited defensive chaos to slot past Pickford. For much of the game, England struggled, with Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane missing clear chances saved by Congolese keeper Lionel Mpasi.
However, after tactical adjustments during a second-half drinks break, substitute Anthony Gordon delivered a pinpoint cross that Harry Kane headed home to equalize. With extra time looming, Kane then unleashed a fierce effort into the roof of the net to seal a 2-1 win.
Megan Pickford's Glamorous Appearance
Megan, originally from Sunderland and now living in Cheshire with her husband and three children, posted a series of snaps on Instagram showcasing her outfit: a cropped green England top, matching bag, and white trousers, with immaculate hair and makeup. The post garnered over 63,000 likes, with fans calling her 'stunning' and 'a dream in green.'
Wardrobe Mishap Earlier in Tournament
Earlier in the tournament, Megan revealed a wardrobe disaster when her luggage failed to arrive in America. She joked on Instagram about wearing her seven-year-old son Arlo's England shirt, captioning: 'Arrived in America... my suitcase did not. Can I wear my 7-year-old's shirt for the game tonight or not?' She ultimately wore a plain white T-shirt, jeans, and a cowboy hat, captioning: 'No suitcase mishap was going to stop me supporting my husband.'
