The XL Beach Club was the place to be for England fans in Dubai on Saturday as football supporters flocked to the popular hang-out to watch the Three Lions take on Italy in their World Cup opener.

Unfortunately for the hundreds in attendance, it was the Italians who were celebrating victory at the final whistle, although everyone at XL clearly had a great night.

Here's a selection of images from Saturday night.
