England World Cup fan issues apology to America over stadium judgment: ‘They are simply better than ours’​

An England soccer fan at the World Cup has gone viral after admitting that Britons underestimated the scale of America's sports venues.

In a video shared from the stands of the Dallas Stadium at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Oliver Henry said that Brits “owe America an apology” for doubting the size of their sports venues.

“We owe apologies to America because their football stadiums are so much better than ours,” he said in a video taken at the England and Croatia match last Friday. “This is the Dallas Stadium and it’s absolutely incredible. England just beat Croatia, but look at the size of the stadium.”

The AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. It has a retractable roof and can hold about 80,000 people.

Henry wrote in the caption of his post: “We owe America a huge apology about their stadiums, they are simply better than ours [sic]. This was the AT&T stadium in Dallas and it is the best venue I’ve been to. I went to watch Croatia vs England in the fifa World Cup, England beat Croatia 4-2 and the stadium was one of the highlights of the day.”

The tourist continued to be impressed by his trip to Texas, according to an Instagram post he shared days after the match, which started again with “we owe America a huge apology.”

“The people of Texas have been the friendliest and most accommodating people I have ever met,” Henry wrote.

“I came to watch England in the World Cup to play Croatia and that game was at the AT&T stadium in Dallas. We have had the best time for the entire trip. Part of my heart will forever stay in Texas.”

The World Cup has brought numerous heartwarming moments as foreign fans experience the U.S. for the first time.

All of the US venues are outstanding in their own unique way. Other than Gillette, I've been to the others. AT&T and Mercedes-Benz are my favorites. Though I have to admit, the stadium in Monterrey is simply stunning.
