Megan Pickford, Ellie Watkins and Jude Bellingham's girlfriend Ashlyn Castro proudly lead the WAGs cheering on England in their World Cup clash against Panama

The WAGs were out in force supporting their partners as England took on Panama in their third World Cup game in  on Saturday night.

's wife Megan, Ollie Watkins' wife Ellie and 's girlfriend Lauren Fryer were among those in the crowds, proudly sporting their red England shirts at the New York-New Jersey Stadium.

's stunning girlfriend Ashlyn Castro proudly sat in the stands too - not far from his parents. 

For England fans at home in the UK it was a late 10pm kick-off - but for the famous wives and girlfriends it was prime viewing time to watch their men play.

The game comes with some added pressure after they drew 0-0 with Ghana in the group stages on Tuesday night.

The frustrating match came after a great start for the Three Lions after they beat Croatia 4-2 in their first game.

Ahead of the game Megan, 30, took to Instagram to pose in her red England shirt before sitting in the stands with son Arlo, seven, and daughter Ostara, three. 

She also shared pictures of their daughter Ostara on Instagram in a sparkly 'Daddy' shirt for the game.

Thousands of England fans have flooded into New York for the team's final group game against Panama and cheer them on into the knockout stages.

Flights from UK were sold out as die-hard fans crossed the Atlantic for the game at New York's Met Life stadium, which will kick off at 5pm local or 10pm back home.

The huge number of bars and nightlife on offer meant there was no chance fans would drink the Big Apple dry, but they gave it a good go with venues all over Manhattan and Brooklyn packed.

Carragher's bar, a popular haunt with fans, was taken over as The England Band played 'Don't Take Me Home' and the theme tune to the Great Escape was accompanied by huge cheers.

Many places were charging $10 a beer, but word quickly spread that a bar over the Hudson River in Hoboken, , a few minutes from the ground, was charging just $1 beer.

In fact, the Green Rock Tap Grill was positively encouraging fans to come on over with a sign outside advertising the bargain beer 'especially if you're British'.

The 78,576 seater stadium is where Oasis played a series of gigs last summer and once again it will echo to the sounds of Wonderwall – if England beat Panama and go on to top Group L.

At least half the stadium is expected to be Three Lions fans, but a sizeable minority of Panama supporters have also made the trip and they took over Times Square dancing and singing to a band and waving flags.

It comes as WAG Ellie posted a hilarious update after her wardrobe malfunction earlier this week - telling her eager followers she has been bra shopping.

Ellie, 30, wife of Aston Villa star  forgot to pack her vital underwear when she went to the Ghana game in Boston.

It led to her describing the day as a 'nightmare' and she had to change her 'planned summery outfit' because of the miserable rainy weather.

As a result, she swapped her wardrobe for a white tank top, jeans and a red jacket topped off with an England baseball cap - she even jokingly had a dig at and asked if he 'approved' following his criticism of WAGs wearing shirts with their partner's name on them.

But on Wednesday after flying into New York from Boston she posted an update on her social media cheekily telling fans she had 'got the goods' as she posted a picture of mannequins wearing bras, adding a laughing emoji.

While not naming the store the picture matches the display for the trendy lingerie firm Skims who have a flagship store on 5th Avenue in the heart of New York's shopping district.

The brand has bras ranging from $78 for the popular push-up style to $34 for a basic one, and according to fashion bible Women's Wear Daily, Skims had a number of high-profile campaigns .

The ad blitz by Del Rey and Carpenter are said to have generated $10 million while England star Jude Bellingham has also fronted the men's underwear campaign along with singing superstar Usher.
