The England soccer team made a promise to stray-turned-team-mascot Dave the Cat that if they won the World Cup, they would bring Dave home with them.

Unfortunately, England lost to France 2-1 on Saturday. But the team just couldn't part ways with their new friend.

In an interview video posted to his Instagram page, player John Stones said of Dave:

"Big Dave. He's big now. He's getting big."
"I just fed him before I came here."

Stones said of the budding companionship:

"I don't know, the first day we got there, we've got like a little table around the corner."
"Next minute, Dave pops out."
"Then every night he's there, sat, waiting for his food."

Dave may be acquiring a sophisticated palate thanks to his new seat at the table.

"But the other day, actually, he didn't eat all his food."
"We were a bit annoyed at him. We think he's getting a bit greedy."

You can view the video below.

Viewers were elated Dave found a new home.

Even though they didn't win the World Cup, it seems the story still has a happy ending.

Welcome to your new life Dave!

Nikki Haley's Blunt 'Election' Prediction Comes Back To Haunt Trump After Biden Drops Out

Earlier this year, South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley made a blunt prediction about which political party would win this year's election, a statement that has garnered more attention since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.

At 81, Biden faced increasing concerns within his party about his age and capacity to serve another term, along with fears of a potential loss to former President Donald Trump—who is 78—in November. In his announcement, Biden backed Harris as the Democratic nominee to replace him, calling it "the best decision I’ve made."
