By Andy Lines in Atlanta
Hundreds of England fans in Atlanta for the World Cup went to a baseball game last night.
They travelled eight miles from downtown to watch the local team the Atlanta Braves, lose to the St Louis Cardinals.
Three Lions shirts could be seen throughout the impressive Truist Park stadium. And tickets cost as little as £14 to get in.
England supporter Gary Graham, 62, from Rochdale said: “It’s certainly a bit cheaper than watching England!
“I had no idea whatsoever what was going on but it was great fun all the same.
“And the beer was much cheaper than at the football.”
Tickets will be even cheaper tonight. The Braves take on the Cardinals again five hours after the game against Congo ends.
Braves bosses have offered Three Lions fans a 33 percent discount on tickets and are even providing some free transport to and from the game.
