Arlington's Croatian and English takeover

FC Dallas striker Petar Musa scored for Croatia in the country's 4-2 loss to England in front of 70,389 fans at Dallas Stadium in Arlington yesterday.

Why it matters: North Texas has become party central for foreigners who are blown away by Buc-ee's, barbecue and cowboys while visiting the region for their country's matches.

State of play: English powerhouse Harry Kane scored two goals in the first half.

• Musa scored Croatia's second goal just before halftime. His teammates huddled around him on the field, patting him on the head to celebrate.
• Fans of both teams packed Texas Live!, just blocks from the stadium, to watch the game.

The intrigue: Croatian fans marched through downtown Dallas on Tuesday for their pre-game celebrations, carrying a 100-meter flag and singing chants. Some fans even cooled off in a fountain.

• English fans crowded The Londoner's Dallas and Arlington locations, forcing authorities to close the Dallas location early yesterday.
• "We are incredibly grateful for the business and have done our best to manage it," the Dallas pub said in an Instagram post.

What's next: Argentina and Austria play in Arlington Monday.

• Lionel Messi is currently tied for the most career World Cup goals and could break that record at Dallas Stadium.
