World Cup fans embrace American culture during tournament
Host Aisha Hasnie and Fox News contributor Joe Concha explore the unique cultural experiences of foreign fans attending the FIFA World Cup in the US. They showcase viral social media posts of fans discovering American staples like Waffle House and Big Gulps. A heartwarming video also features Scottish fans celebrating their team by serenading a New England neighborhood with bagpipes.
Soccer fans — or, as many of them would insist, "football fans" — from around the globe are pouring into the United States. While it's been fun watching them discover everything that makes America great, from Waffle House and Bass Pro Shops to Buc-ee's and ranch dressing, I don't know that there's any group I'd rather party with than Scotland's Tartan Army.
I mean, any fanbase that drinks a plane's beer supply bone dry is fine by me.
Scotland plays Haiti on Saturday night at Boston Stadium (also known as Gillette Stadium), which has led to a flood of Scottish fans in Boston ahead of the match.

What I think has been cool about the World Cup in the early going is that short of any fans whose team took a beating (sorry, Paraguay), everyone seems to be having the greatest time.
This was the case at some kind of fan fest, it looks like, where fans from all over had gathered to have some fun, and it turns out one of Boston's finest even got in on it.
A Boston cop has gone viral thanks to his valiant display of keepy-uppies, which had some kilt-wearing Scots losing their minds.

That cup must be a fiend with a hacky sack too.
I'm not a Scotsman who has been drinking since climbing aboard a flight in Edinburgh on Friday morning, and I would've been losing my mind too, because that was some impressive keepy-uppy-ing.
Normally, when you see someone do that, they're wearing soccer shorts, not a bulletproof vest and a belt with a gun and taser.

Keepy-uppies with those on you really separates the men from the boys.
I think we're going to see quite a scene on Saturday night at Boston Stadium, where Scotland is pretty heavily favored to come away with the win in their World Cup opener, according to FOX Sports.
