Harry Kane and Thomas Tuchel waved at waiting fans as England arrived at their World Cup home away from home in Kansas City.
The back-to-back European Championship finalists are among the favourites this summer and have been in the United States since the start of June preparing for their shot at glory.
England left their warm-weather training base in Florida on Saturday morning and took the 1,950-mile flight to Kansas City, where they hope to spend the next five weeks.
A couple of hundred people greeted them at their Inn at Meadowbrook hotel in the south of the city when the team arrived at 1.20pm local time (7.20pm BST) on Saturday.
'Good Luck England' and a heart featuring the city's initials read signs dotted along the road to the hotel, with 'Welcome' and an image of three lions on the other side.
