England fans have arrived in Boston ahead of the World Cup match against Ghana, with many sharing emotional stories about their journeys. Jon Agyeman, 66, a retired lecturer from North Yorkshire, said he still gets goosebumps when hearing the national anthem. He is attending the match with his brother Julian, 67, a professor at Tufts University, and his son Louis, 27, a teacher living in Mexico.
Family Reunion in Boston
The Agyeman family's father was Ghanaian, making the draw particularly special. Jon said: "We couldn't believe it when the draw was made - England playing Ghana in Boston where my brother lives and our father being Ghanaian was just amazing." Louis added: "The three of us are going to the game together. We feel very lucky to have tickets."
Fan Costs and Dedication
Businessman Dave Thompson, who attended the 1966 World Cup final with his father, has spent about £20,000 on his trip to the US, including travel and tickets. "I've been going to the tournaments since 2010, so I didn't want to stop," he said.
Atmosphere and Support
Jo Lewis, 44, and boyfriend Gary Taylor, 64, from Essex, are also in Boston. Jo said: "The support from England fans has been incredible. The noise and atmosphere inside the Dallas stadium last week was brilliant." Gary added: "We can beat Ghana and we can go on and top the group."
Scottish Fans Depart
Thousands of Scottish fans are leaving Boston for their match against Brazil in Miami. John Gordon, 59, from Hull, joked: "The Scots drank Boston dry last week and I'm sure we will do the same this week!"
