World Cup fans in the United States embrace American culture through unique experiences during the tournament. Host Aisha Hasnie and Fox News contributor Joe Concha highlight foreign fans’ encounters with American staples like Waffle House and Big Gulps, captured in viral social media posts. A notable moment includes Scottish fans celebrating with bagpipes in a New England neighborhood.
After the United States secured a victory against Australia, advancing to the Round of 32, attention turned to Scotland, becoming America’s favored second team. The Scottish supporters, known as The Tartan Army, have been vibrant since their arrival, celebrating their first World Cup appearance in 28 years with enthusiasm. They marked their tournament debut with a 1-0 victory over Haiti.
Scotland prepared for a challenging fixture against Morocco at Boston Stadium, also called Gillette Stadium. The local community warmly received Scotland and their fans, fostering an electric atmosphere before the match. The Tartan Army’s spirited presence was evident with bagpipes, kilts, and lively celebrations. Even ducks in Providence joined in the festivities, resonating with fans.
Inside the stadium, Scottish supporters sang ‘Flower of Scotland,’ their unofficial national anthem. However, an early goal from Morocco in the second minute subdued the excitement. Despite Scotland’s persistent efforts and several goal opportunities, Morocco claimed a 1-0 win.
Morocco’s victory places them at the top of Group C, while Scotland sits second. The Scots prepare for their next match against Brazil in Miami.
