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.
