There are thousands of Scottish people in Boston (they call themselves the Tartan Army) playing bagpipes, deliriously happy to be in the World Cup.

There's a German guy called Freddy who is having a blast traveling around the southeastern states unironically praising Waffle House, Taco Bell, Buc-ees, grocery stores, and a whole lot of other things he's enjoying about the U.S.

Many of the games are being played in smaller regional cities. The rosters include several cities in Mexico and Canada so it's a true North American collaboration.

We're watching it on Paramount where it is entirely in Spanish.

Social media is full of ordinary people having a good time with the World Cup and I'm here for it.
