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.

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?

Notice how few World Cup fans attending events in Canada are posting praises about their time there?
There's a reason for that.

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

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.

Iran had 53 connected to the IRGC and they wouldn't let them into the country from Canada.
Vitani said:
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.

What a transcendent masterpiece of irony it has been watching our oh-so-refined European overlords descend upon this fascist wasteland for the 2026 World Cup like Victorian explorers discovering a lost tribe that somehow invented air conditioning… pic.twitter.com/Q9Jfgp4bYs

What a transcendent masterpiece of irony it has been watching our oh-so-refined European overlords descend upon this fascist wasteland for the 2026 World Cup like Victorian explorers discovering a lost tribe that somehow invented air conditioning and unlimited ranch dressing. They're losing their entire minds. A French influencer had a full spiritual awakening in a Buc-ee's bathroom the size of Versailles, live-streaming herself sobbing over a wall of beef jerky varieties longer than the Champs-lyses. "Mon Dieu…they have forty-seven flavors of jerky…and a beaver mascot!" she gasped, immediately renouncing her 35-hour work week. The Germans...yes, the same ones whose autobahns occasionally pretend to have speed limits, have been spotted doing donuts in rented Ford F-150s the size of Panzer tanks while blasting Kid Rock at volumes that register on seismographs. One was heard whispering reverently, "This…this is what peak performance feels like," right before shotgunning a 44-ounce Mountain Dew Code Red like it was holy water. The Italians discovered Costco and immediately declared it the Eighth Wonder of the World. A Roman chef had to be physically restrained from trying to marry a 72-inch pizza and adopt an entire pallet of ranch. "Mamma mia, the samples…they just give them to you!" he wept, abandoning his Nonna's sacred recipes for a family-sized bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos .Even the reserved Scandinavians have gone feral. Swedes are riding mechanical bulls in cowboy hats the size of satellite dishes, screaming "Yee-haw, mother****er!" in perfect English while chugging something called "Fireball" that would make their government-issued sadness vodka blush. The Dutch, normally high on legal weed and existential dread, have started every chant with "U-S-A!" and ended it by proposing marriage to the nearest Buc-ee's cashier.
Meanwhile, you brave keyboard crusaders are having simultaneous aneurysms in your gender-neutral safe spaces because someone had the audacity to enjoy a country without first issuing a land acknowledgment, a trigger warning, and a carbon offset receipt. The Europeans are out here experiencing American abundance like it's a religious conversion, and you're still writing 4,000-word Medium essays about how a red Solo cup is settler-colonial violence. Please, keep telling us how irredeemable and terrifying this place is while actual visitors are having religious experiences at Whataburger drive-thrus and treating Walmart as their personal Louvre. The cognitive dissonance is so delicious I want to deep-fry it and dip it in your tears. With maximum theatrical eye-roll and a raised pinky.
P.S. They'll all fly home soon and resume calling us barbarians. For now, they're one Monster Energy and mechanical bull ride away from getting "Don't Tread on Me" tattoos. Cope in 4K, darlings.

My only issue is with the Roman chef: they sell pizza by the yard in Rome. 72 inches is nothing.

Texas A&M Food Services used to have an optional meal plan called lagniappe back in the 1980s to help pack on the Freshman 15 faster.

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