The vibes are definitely pretty shit at this WC.

The "official" vibes seem pretty rotten (the Somali ref being sent home, the "hydration" - aka advert - breaks, the searching of teams arriving in the US at the airport), but seeing footage of a small town in I think Kansas adopting and supporting the Algerian team who are based there, and the lovely footage and stories from Boston with the Scotland fans making lots of new friends, is really REALLY lovely and a reminder that most people across the world are good people, regardless of their government, and just want to get along with each other.

I think that's wonderful.

Preach! The Scottish fans cleaning up in Boston and lighting up the baseball crowd was great to see. Saw a clip of a guy who's responsible for cleaning a local park and he was so grateful they weren't dicks. Said the Scots must have no water cos they can really drink
