The England soccer team have been taking in the sights during their stay in North America for the 2026 World Cup.

After securing a 4-2 win over Croatia on Wednesday, the Three Lions return to World Cup action next week, facing off with Ghana at the Boston Stadium.

In the meantime, the likes of Harry Kane and manager Thomas Tuchel have been enjoying a break to watch some MLB, paying a visit to the Kansas City Royals during their most recent game.

England team watch Kansas City Royals in MLB action

The Royals faced off with the St. Louis Cardinals this week, securing a 14-6 victory.

Tuchel, Kane and others attended the clash, and the Kansas City Royals have sent a message after the England manager was able to throw out a pitch.

Writing on their official X/Twitter page, they stated: “Manager to manager. It’s been our pleasure to have you drop by, Team @England.”

During their visit, the England delegation was also given some custom England-themed baseball jerseys.

The Three Lions are not set to compete in Kansas during their World Cup group-stage campaign.

They previously played in Texas and have meetings in Boston and New Jersey coming up.

But if England progress into the Round of 32 and beyond, which they are expected to do after beating Croatia in their first game, there is a chance they will return to the city to play a match.
