The team promised to adopt Dave the Cat if they won the World Cup and then decided to still do it anyway after being eliminated in the quarterfinals.

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!

'Dr. Pimple Popper' Star Reveals She Suffered Stroke While Filming Series: 'I Had A Part Of My Brain That Died'

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Kid Rock Dragged After Offering Massive Discount To His MAGA Festival Due To Abysmal Ticket Sales

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
