Croatia's red and white checkered flag reigned over the streets of downtown Dallas Tuesday evening as hundreds of supporters marched ahead of the country’s match against England in the FIFA World Cup.

The teams will face off at Dallas Stadium Wednesday at 3 p.m. CT.

Fans carried a 100-yard Croatian flag from Civic Garden on Main Street down Commerce Street to Ferris Plaza. Along the way they played music and chanted "Mi Hrvati” — which means "We Croats."
