Jordan Pickford’s wife Megan has resorted to borrowing her son’s England shirt, after losing her suitcase during her journey to the Three Lions’ first World Cup match.
The WAGs have travelled to Dallas for England’s first group match against Croatia, with the hope they can start their 2026 campaign in style.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Megan shared a snap of herself in the child-sized shirt that belonged to her son Arlo, after complaining the airline lost her luggage.
Like many WAGs, it seemed the mother-of-three had brought some of her designer accessories, with her mini Birkin bag in view on her hotel bed.
She captioned the post: ‘Arrived in America… my suitcase did not. Can I wear my seven-year-old’s shirt for the game tonight or not.’
Megan also shared a video on TikTok about the drama, with the caption: ‘My top 5 horror stories…

‘Arriving in America for the World Cup. My suitcase did not arrive. Now sharing my seven-year-old’s kit. My husband plays tonight. The airline hasn’t got back with when my case will come.’
Megan, an Instagram star who has assumed a ‘mother hen’ status with other WAGS, often organising pre-match parties, said she would be rushing to Boots or TJ Maxx to buy a replacement pair of jeans.
She said: ‘I’m in Dallas I asked the taxi driver where I could get some jeans he said they have a bills boots or a TJ Maxx’.
She was supported by Ellie Anderson, wife of striker Ollie Watkins, who described it as her ‘worst nightmare’, adding: ‘Don’t worry I’ve got three suitcases full, coming to the rescue’.
Ellie earlier admitted her long-haul flight was ‘going to be chaos’ due to travelling with their two young children and a ‘ridiculous’ amount of suitcases.
The WAGs touched down in Dallas on Wednesday, joining a buzzing atmosphere ahead of Thomas Tuchel’s side kicking off their campaign.
Their arrival came just hours after England fans were turfed out of local pubs during a wild night of partying for travelling supporters.
Local police went into the Londoner Pub in Dallas well before the 2am closing time to move fans on.
England supporters were shirtless, dancing on tables and enjoying the cheap booze ahead of the Three Lions’ first game of the World Cup against Croatia on Wednesday.
And it wasn’t just the Texas watering holes being overrun by England fans, as they also took over the rodeo on Tuesday.

Dozens of die-hard Three Lions fans caught the last flight out of London on Tuesday to make tonight’s opening game against Croatia.
England’s Group L campaign starts with a tricky assignment in Arlington, with their opponents ranked 11th in the world. They defeated the Three Lions in the semi-finals of the 2018 tournament in Russia.
As the team were put through their paces in the last training sessions, Ellie took to TikTok on Tuesday to give an insight into her preparations.
The influencer said she had overpacked as she stood in front of three suitcases of her own clothes and admitted there was more luggage for her children.
She said: ‘We are off to America today. We’ve got so many suitcases it’s ridiculous. But I basically packed everything that I would possibly need because I just did not want to be buying anything extra out there.
‘Like, I have everything I need. I don’t want to be wasting any money and spending on extra duplicates so hence the three suitcases.
‘I know it seems a bit excessive but I just don’t know how long we’re going to be out there for so I’m trying to be prepared and hopefully we’ll be able to squeeze a little family holiday in after. I have packed a few things for that just in case.’
Ellie added: ‘I’m trying to carry as little as possible because it’s just going to be chaos. Two kids, 100 suitcases, extra hand luggage bags.’
The couple, who married in May 2025 and live in Birmingham, have two children – Amara, four, and three-year-old Marley.
Ellie went on to share what was in her Chanel travel bag. Items ranged from multiple lip balms to eye creams, face masks, electrolytes and compression socks as she ‘didn’t want to be a swollen mess’.
She added: ‘We’re off to America. I’m so excited. I can’t wait to see Ollie. I can’t wait for the kids to see Ollie because they’ve not seen him for a few weeks so let the fun begin.’
