The English national team is set to enjoy significant support, with at least 30,000 of their compatriots expected to cheer on the "Three Lions" at Hard Rock Stadium for their quarter-final clash against Norway. Against Croatia, Ghana, and DR Congo, the islanders felt right at home thanks to the boisterous backing from the stands. However, at the Azteca, the approximately 10,000 "Three Lions" fans were largely drowned out by the enthusiastic Mexican supporters for extended periods.
According to the Daily Mail, the Football Association of England has secured an additional 8,000 tickets from other federations whose national teams have already been eliminated from the tournament. When this allocation is added to those who have already purchased tickets, the total number of "Three Lions" fans attending the 64,478-capacity stadium is expected to exceed 30,000.
The publication also reports that Thomas Tuchel and his players are benefiting from considerable support from local residents in the USA, a trend anticipated to continue in their match against Norway.
