England’s national team and their enthusiastic supporters landed in Boston last evening, prepared to cheer Thomas Tuchel’s squad towards World Cup victory. Should they emerge victorious against Ghana tonight, their progression to the knockout phase is assured.
A favorable update for the team is the possibility of rain later in the day. Temperatures are lower than anticipated, creating a cooler climate in New England compared to England. Each England fan has a unique tale to share about their journey to the United States.
