No, I don't doubt Scottish soccer fans drink a lot of beer, but that's not really the type of story I was talking about.

Most of these "World Cup visitors wowed" social media is engagement farming nonsense. Turns out telling people what they want to hear get a lot of attention.

Bet you are fun at parties/not.

Thirty thousand Scots arrive in Boston and the bars run out of beer? That was staged in your opinion? LOL.

Concur. This is beyond some sort of planned social media campaign.

Notice how few World Cup fans attending events in Canada are posting praises about their time there?

There's a reason for that.

Lol of course Dems are desperately downplaying the Euros having a good time here. They wanted them to come and make videos about how awful their experience was especially in the South because of course all those racist bigoted rednecks would be rude to FOREIGNERS!

But of course the opposite happened and all Euros are having the best time in the south. I ran into a huge group of Norway fans at the Orlando airport a couple days ago and they were having a great time. Doing their rowing chant, trying Cubanos just having a great time and the locals were all happy to help them.

The biggest complaint from our visiting European cousins I have seen is the heat in the South. Like we had been lying about how hot it is during the summer?

I find that Europeans have this geographical bias where they think the US is at roughly the same latitude as Europe and therefore has a similar ish climate. As I've actually pointed out to them, if you look at the map, most of the US and especially the South would be centered around the Mediterranean spilling into North Africa. So yeah, you all complain about how hot Italy is in the summer and Washington DC sits at about the same latitude as Naples. Houston is at the same latitude as Cairo Egypt. And it blows their mind when you explain all this to them but then it also makes sense to them.

I really enjoy posts from people who say, "You saw something you liked? It made you happy? Here's why you shouldn't be happy."

EVERYTHING on social media is engagement farming at some level, acting like these World Cup visitors are different is hilarious.

I never said people "shouldn't be happy". There's lots to like about our country. Lots of takes that are believable. Lots that are just flat out fake.

Wouldn't push that logic too far...we're seeing massive Mexico love and i dont think anyone would argue that Mexico is developmentally ahead of Canada.

How racist and insensitive to do a rowing chant in south Florida in front of Cubans...

If you have seen any videos praising their experiences in Canada please post them. This is the first one I have even seen with Canada.

TIA.

That is my thinking as well. If they are having a great time, they'd be posting about them

They don't want that Canadian social engagement, it isn't as valuable as American engagement.

It's not like I haven't been playing these World Cup videos about 15 hours a day since the games started. So I have been looking for those about Canada, mostly just out of curiosity. None have been in my feeds. So either the algos are not pushing them or they don't exist in a large enough number to get more attention.

Irishman talking about the Scots.

Pretty rich having an Irish man chide Scots for drinking too much. I think Boston's Irish population was embarrassed when Scots outdrank them in a matter of days in their own backyard.

The left is complaining about the treatment of the Iranian team and how some fans have gotten their feelings hurt by other fans (not from the US). I had some coworkers go out of their way to tell me not to support the US team. They asked who l want to see win and then got upset when I said US.

What happened with the Iranian team? Have not seen anything about issues..

Nothing bad has happened but people are upset that the team has to have their base in Mexico, they can only fly in the day before a game, and they have to leave after they game instead of staying overnight. From the people I have heard you would think that is holding Iran back from winning it all this year.

The support staff for a team is usually around a hundred twenty three for most teams so that's alot of people coming into the country. Iran had 53 connected to the IRGC and they wouldn't let them into the country from Canada.

Okay my mind goes back to 1972 Munich Olympics. (Stayed up watching Jim McKay for over 24 hours watching that.)

Soo. tell the Iranian handlers that Mossad is watching them 24/7 and staying in the same place for too long would not be the best idea?

When we see even French people saying they love Americans, without the Germans invading France yet?

That's unusual.

The Iranian team did not seem to have a problem with how they were treated so it is yet another manufactured issue by the left. The letter below was left by them in their locker room after their second game.
