Summary
Arlington police were called after Australian World Cup fans flooded a Walmart before their Round of 32 match, chanting “We’re getting deported” as officers escorted people out.
Fox 4 Dallas-Fort Worth video showed the store packed with chanting supporters as the Socceroos staged a final pregame blowout in Texas.
That Walmart stop fit a broader World Cup trend, with foreign visitors treating the U.S. retail giant as a novelty destination while traveling between matches.
Australia’s tournament ended later Friday with a penalty-shootout loss to Egypt, turning the chaotic Walmart party into the fans’ last big World Cup scene.
