>Scotland qualify for their first World Cup in decades

>games are on at 2am back home in Scotland so barely any kids and a lot of adults will be beddy-byes

Oh dear oh dear laddies

Yes, we've tried to tell you that globalism is retarded for like 20 years now.
>>
>>152426118
das rite
>>
Yes the stadium is in the middle of nowhere and the traffic will be hell. If I was going to this I would stay at a hotel in town.
>>
I dont get it
>>
every world cup i've watched fewer and fewer games. i don't think i will watch more than 10 this world cup. one because i can't stay up past 12 now i'm an unc and 2 the quality is just so diluted
>>
>>152426118
>2am kickoffs will be difficult for children to get to see
You underestimate Scottish parenting
>>
>>152426118
It's in summer, why would kids be sleeping early?
>>
>>152426336
>summer
>being a thing anywhere further north than Cambridge
Also
>letting kids stay up past 22:00
>>
I was struggling to think how Scotland could possibly be any more Reddit than it currently is, but having them play their group games in Boston has done it. Genius. It’s levels of Reddit that I didn’t think were even possible. Only the Repubic of Ireland playing matches there could ever exceed it
>>
>>152426336
Don't think 3am bed time counts as early for kids
>>
nothing is more pathetic than Europeans complaining about game times when every Australian that watches soccer (most popular sport in the country) has had to do this our whole lives
>>
Haiti is at 2am
The other two are at 2300 UK time
Bitching for the sake of being a bitch
>>
>>152426118
you can drive for 60 minutes and over 40 miles and still be inside houston

the USA is huge, like massive. in 4 hours, you can drive to 4 countries. even in the densely packed north east, you could at best visit 4 cities.

KEK

summer is 18*C (for you retards who can't convert, that's about 65*F)
>>
>>152426118
badass

>>152426118
Visiting America is shit because the learning curve is high and if you do the normal tourist shit it's one of the worst countries on earth to visit
>>
>>152426683
when i went in may it was like fucking 80 and sunny, shit SUCKED
>>
>>152426118
All the teams who play here brand themselves as "New England" not Boston.

Its FIFA who branded it as Boston.
>>
>>152426722
I heard retards talking about wanting to visit LA and NYC in the same week
>>
>>152426200
>>152426336
Summer breaks for schools in the UK start around late July. The 2026 world cup will be over by then.
>>
>>152426806
but summer starts in June?
>>
>>152426802
Well you can, planes exist, though it is an excessive amount of flying.
>>
>>152426822
Yeah but the 6ish week summer holidays here don't start until around July 20th.
>>
it's the New England stadium, not the Boston stadium
Boston has its own, smaller stadiums
>>
>>152426802
thanks CUM - the UEFA team from Italy/North Ireland/Wales/Bosnia wins the most miles travelled prize. around twice as long as group I combined.
>>
>>152426118
in 02 all the World Cup games were on at 12am 2am and 4am for me. I watched almost all of them. You don't understand how awesome it was as a teenager to get to watch all those games during summer break
>>
>>152426864
Scottish schools finish earlier you oaf
Ever wondered why they’re already there at your hotel in magaluf when you get there

kelpies mentioned.
taps aff, furry skirts on and a bag o cans - lads will take a 25 mile stroll to the stadium in their stride.
>>
>>152426569
>most popular sport in the country

nice trolling. kids play it on the school oval so it must be popular!
>>
>>152426118
those towns are made up right
>>
>>152427210
I don’t understand why they didn’t arrange this better so each group would play at two venues which aren’t so far way from each other. It’s really just added travel expenses and more logistical problems
>>
>>152426722
Visiting our country could be worthwhile if you’re planning to go to Colorado/southern Utah/Arizona where there’s national parks around every corner where you’ll see natural wonders you wouldn’t find anywhere else on Earth. Or if you go to Vegas/Miami/New York, etc. specifically to party within the confines of the city.

The most important thing tourists need to know is that most cities here outside the very notable ones are pretty “samey”, if you go to one mid-size city, you’ve pretty much seen what there is to see in all of them.

There’s also miles upon miles of shit in between each place that’s worth going to. Your average American town is not worth visiting, and they’re all over the place.

Trying to visit all of America in one trip is infeasible. Everything is too spread out, and constantly booking flights to try and see everything is a hassle.

they should have qualified a bit quicker then.
its a 3 country tournament and whoever got Mexico games was gonna be traveling. They could have maybe paired two Mexican games with a US venue nearer than Atlanta tho, admittedly.
>>
>>152429777
SOVL! I fondly remember living in Glasgow during my Masters and everyone taking taps aff and putting cheap sunglasses on as soon as there was a single timid ray of sunlight in April.
>>
>staying up til 4am to watch SCOTLAND
Fuck America
>>
should've fought harder at bunker hill then faggot
>>
I mostly know Falkirk because of the battle in a Hollywood movie. Funny how that works
>>
>>152429777
why did the kelpies do it bros
>>
>>152426450
Scots will get longer days in summer than Southern England, dipshit
>>
Fuck the World Cup, bring back the British Home Championship.
>>
>>152426118
25miles is nothing. people on the outskirts of glasgow travel 20 miles to watch rangers and celtic and don't think anything of it. a bit stupid to travel 8 hours on a plane and then complain about the last 25 miles.
>>
Boo hoo nigga
>>
>>152446573
this is a lie btw, everybody supports their local club
>>
>>152426672
yeah from bush to nrg is a good 30 miles of straight traffic
and all in houston
>>
>>152426683
>The hottest temperature ever recorded in Scotland was 34.8°C (94.6°F), measured at Charterhall in the Scottish Borders on July 19, 2022. This broke the previous record of 32.9°C, set in 2003
good coastal winds so it doesn't feel as bad, but it has been getting hotter
>>
*slurps semen at 3 am*
This is good stuff mr Infantino, hehe
*licks semen off boots*
Please mr Infantino sir, may I have some more?

You WILL stay up to watch scotland draw 0-0 with haiti
You WILL delude yourself into thinking it was somehow worth it
You WILL show up at work a couple hours later with a hangover and a runny ass
>>
>>152455093
Yeah, I'm not fucking paying $3,500 (and walking 25 miles, being shot at by niggers) to watch it LIVE! tho. Sorry not sorry, Murica, but you are a shower of greedy bastards.
>>
>>152427210
>>152431785
Keep in mind that there's going to be 6-7 days between group stage games for everyone to account for the continent-wide traveling that the teams will have to do for the group stage. This time the group stage will take 3 weeks to complete rather than 2 weeks.
>>
>>152426200
we live in an age where you can watch your games on your smartphone. Just pirate a stream and enjoy it in the comfort of your bed.
>>
redpill me on kelpies

>>152426118
Lol, being a Scot is punishment enough.

Kelpies are the Jimmy Saville of the equine world, beware the wet horse. Oirish were even worse for inventing scary myths to stop retard kids drowning themselves. As consequence, they starved to death when the potato crop failed and they were all too scared to go fishing instead.
>>
>>152427210
How has this been calculated if all of the squad bases haven't been completely settled yet?
>>
>>152462451
its just stadium2stadium distance.
ideally you'd have a base somewhere near where you are playing, but some teams may have already chosen one before the draw and picked somewhere really unfortunate, relative to where they are actually playing. They're footballers, they be used to it.
>>
I think soccerfags will be legit shocked at the lack of WC energy/interest once they get away from the host stadiums
>>
>>152426200
I remember when I was in school and was able to watch almost all of group stage matches with my friends while grilling and drinking. Good times.
>>
>>152426118
That's why they're the New England Patriots as opposed to the Boston Patriots.
Providence is a nice small city, some good hotels, Downtown, scenic restaurant and shop neighborhoods and a nice Ivy League campus all walkable from the Train Station. You can ask tripfag BradysKnee for restaurant advice.
Frankly there's a lot of cute, smaller towns and cities with lots to do on the MBTA Line that will take you to the stadium, Boston is just if New York was only Lower Manhattan and North Brooklyn
