Summary
Fox 4's pre-match interview with an England supporter went viral after he called Texas brisket the best beef he had ever eaten and praised U.S. beer and hospitality.
Texas BBQ drove the clip's appeal: the fan said he chose fatty over lean brisket because it "melted in my mouth," while rating mac and cheese only average.
Dallas-Fort Worth's fan-stop segment also captured his blunt matchday plan — getting drunk before, during and after the game — adding to the interview's shareable charm.
England then beat Croatia 4-2, with Harry Kane scoring twice in the first half, capping a World Cup day that mixed football with visiting fans' enthusiasm for American food and welcome.
