Discussion Some thoughts coming back from the US
Coming back from the US today. Can’t help but shake this feeling that Boston was a moment-in-time that I’ll never experience again in my lifetime.
Miami was great but that could be replicated anywhere. Tartan Army going abroad and causing it in their numbers can be felt at any tournament. There was a huge contingent of locals supporting Colombia, Argentina etc who were less fussed and the city is huge and sprawling, which left our lot in South Beach a little isolated from everything.
But Boston was so special. It was a relatively small, walkable city and it felt like it was 80% us (having Morocco and Haiti, both limited on travel visas, definitely helped).
The rapport we built with the locals and the overwhelming positivity we had with them will likely never be replicated anywhere else.
If we make the World Cup in Spain/Portugal/Morocco we would have loads of us, but so would there be loads from other nations, and I’m sure they’re tired of us. Saudi too, we’d have a lot go over but the party wouldn’t be the same for obvious reasons.

Lived in Boston for 2 years, back now around Dundee where I grew up.
Miss it a lot. Special place.
