Scottish fans surely the biggest plus to come out of this World Cup so far 09:32 - Jun 28 with 5213 viewsFlowerofScotland

In 2026 the money-sodden 'beautiful' game needs culture and friendship to be shared and extended by fans or isn't it surely isn't beautiful at all.

I’m sure there are (were) many good Scottish folk over there as there are from many nations. I’ve found the performative social media stuff and obsession with tonguing the locals absolutely cringe worthy at times though. Each to their own though.

Tonguing the locals? Please explain.

And this is one of the reasons why Scotland are the Norwich City of international football.

It's like Norwich fans boasting about how many season ticket holders they were getting in League One, innit.

'Jockos' is an unacceptable term to use on a public forum. I'd like an apology

Not another Scotsman banging on about how good they are.

It's an overblown, performative narrative.

Media focuses on the fans having fun, because the team gives them nothing to report on.

As I've said a couple of times in this thread alone. Its the international football equivalent of endlessly banging on about Jeremy Goss scoring against Bayern.

Yes. Well done to the Scotch fans.

They have participated much better than the Scotch team.

The only fans who have had "fun". Looked more like a Scottish Tourist Board promotion at times.

Good job the Irish and Welsh weren't there to compete for the " desperate to be liked" trophy.

Although we do have the Rugby WC in the States in 2031....

Their national fans seem a chilled bunch in good spirits that are normally welcomed by their hosts, which is quite odd given the a-holes that follow Celtic and Rangers. There’s an odd contradiction there on the face of it.

Failing at the key element, in not being funny.

It's because the national team has no expectation or rivals, if it did, those scumbag 'ultras' would show their true colours.

Yeah.

Anyone seen the Dutch? Or Norway guys look prettyfun/good.

But because they "drunk Boston dry" they're the best. Weird.

Ther supporters are no better or worse than anyone else’s. There’s plenty of nonsense spewed about them and has been for years. Probably dates all the way back to Queen Victoria’s love in with them.

Ok, they puffed themselves up as they always do after a decent result only to be brought down and onto the first plane home - normal service, but at least they turned up in decent numbers for the first two games.

Culture and friendship? I’ve got to go to Scotland in a couple of weeks time for a few days and I’ve no doubt I’ll be chewing on Scottish DNA on a daily basis. I’d give it a miss if I had a choice.

I think I understand it. I’ve been in Brussels when the Welsh came to town and the atmosphere was very different to being in an England crowd (which is far from as bad as the press often make out btw, from my limited experience). I get a similar vibe from the Scots.

It’s strange how people get quite negative about the Scots. It doesn’t really matter if they had a good time, does it? It doesn’t impact us.
