World Cup Visitors Are Falling in Love With Texas

Most people across the world know that the World Cup is going on right now. We're talking about the best soccer players in the world competing to represent their countries. But the new thing I love even more than the sports action is seeing all the people from around the world experiencing life here in Texas.

Why World Cup Visitors Are Talking About Texas

My hope is that more Texans watch these videos and realize how fortunate we are here in the Lone Star State. It’s pretty incredible to have so many people from around the world visiting our home state and falling in love with so many things we take for granted. For example, just a normal visit to Walmart. This British Dad absolutely loves the experience.

Texas Food Choices Surprise International Visitors

Since we've already seen the British dad visit Walmart. There are plenty of other food and beverage options that visitors are loving in Texas. Let’s see a video of visitors overwhelmed with the options.

@teamusafanhq The way Europeans come to America and completely abandon everything they thought they knew about food Like they lands here talking about "American food is so unhealthy" and then day three they are on their fourth slice of BBQ brisket with a side of mac and cheese and a cornbread chaser and they have NOTHING to say The portions, the flavors, the variety — there is nowhere else on earth where you can have world class tacos, smoked ribs, a lobster roll, and a slice of New York pizza all in the same day. They always come in skeptical and leave with a checked bag full of ranch dressing and hot sauce. Every time. WITHOUT FAIL. #AmericanFood#EuropeansInAmerica#FoodTok#AmericanFoodIsUnderrrated#YouAlwaysComBack♬ original sound - Team USA HQ

Why Some International Fans Love Texas Hospitality

Another thing I can’t help but love is the courtesy of some of the fans that are staying here in Texas. I’m sure you’ve probably heard of the fans from Japan taking time to clean up the stadium after their match was over. But did you see the video of fans from Japan saying they like Texas? Here you go.

Last but not least, it's always fun watching people experience Buc-ee's for the first time.

To all the soccer fans visiting Texas from around the world, welcome to Texas. We’re glad you’re here. Have fun, enjoy the sunshine, and delicious food. Just be careful if you hear anyone say, Bless Your Heart.
