We stumbled across some World Cup fever in Central Park today

5 July 2026

We stumbled across some World Cup fever in Central Park today, as around 25 lads from Plymouth’s Bangladeshi community enjoyed a kickabout ahead of England’s World Cup semi-final tonight.

While football shirts from several clubs were on show, two supporters stood out in England colours one wearing a classic England shirt and another sporting a ‘66 T-shirt, a nod to England’s famous 1966 World Cup triumph. The group were clearly getting into the World Cup spirit as excitement builds for tonight’s big match.
