Huge crowds of England supporters gathered in Atlanta for the World Cup semi-final against Argentina on Wednesday, with numerous celebrities joining the excitement.

Among the notable attendees were Sir David Beckham, the England and Manchester United legend, who attended with his wife, Lady Victoria, and their children, Romeo, Harper, and Cruz, along with his partner, Jackie Apostel. The iconic frontman of the Rolling Stones, Sir Mick Jagger, was also spotted in the stands, alongside One Direction star Louis Tomlinson and his girlfriend Zara McDermott, as well as rapper 2 Chainz (Tauheed Epps).

Millie Bobby Brown, known for her role in Stranger Things, shared several photos, including a selfie in an England top inside the stadium. Joe Cole, the star from Peaky Blinders, posted updates from the game on his Instagram Stories.
