The England players celebrated in style by reuniting with their wives and girlfriends after winning their first World Cup 2026 game. All eyes were on Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and co as they took on Croatia in Dallas last night, and they saw their opponents off with a 4-2 win.
Bukayo Saka’s fiancée, Tolami Benson, was among those also in the crowd, while Ellie Watkins, wife of Ollie Watkins, shared a snap of herself getting in on the action by sipping on a cocktail during the hydration break. At the final whistle, after a rousing rendition of Football’s Coming Home, many were seen running into the stands to celebrate with their partners.
Harry Kane’s Sweet Reunion
In sweet snaps, Harry - who captained England to victory and scored twice - made a beeline for wife Katie Goodland and gave her a kiss, after swapping out of his kit. Jude followed suit and was spotted embracing girlfriend Ashlyn Castro, who cheered on the team decked out in an England top.
Jordan Pickford’s Wife Overcomes Luggage Nightmare
After the intense game, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford also greeted wife Megan with a kiss - who was in the stands after suffering a nightmare before kick-off, revealing that her luggage hadn’t arrived. She made do with a white vest, jeans and blue cowboy hat, but questioned whether it would be acceptable to wear their son’s kit, emblazoned with “Daddy”, for the match.
“Arrived in America yesterday...my suitcase did not,” she said on Instagram. “Can I wear my 7 year olds top for the game tonight or not?” In a separate social media post, she revealed that a taxi driver said that she could buy jeans from TJ Maxx, before adding: “But as long as we get to watch Daddy, because football is coming home.”
Upcoming Matches
Megan may need an extra shopping trip or two before England’s next games kick off - they will be taking on Ghana next Tuesday, before meeting Panama on Saturday 27 June.
