SouthernWorldwide.com – Scotland fans are celebrating a momentous World Cup victory in a uniquely American fashion.
The Tartan Army has ample reason to cheer early in this summer’s World Cup. On Saturday, Scotland secured a 1-0 win against Haiti in their opening match at Boston Stadium.
This victory is particularly significant for Scotland. It marks their return to the World Cup stage for the first time since 1998. Even more remarkably, it’s their first World Cup win since 1990.
To put the long wait into perspective, the last time Scotland celebrated a World Cup win, the original “Home Alone” movie was topping the box office charts.
The devoted Tartan Army has clearly been anticipating this moment for a very long time. Fans in Boston have been enjoying the tournament atmosphere, but their post-match celebrations on Saturday included renditions of two beloved American anthems: John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.”
It’s a heartwarming display of shared sporting passion when Scottish fans in Boston can be heard enthusiastically singing an ode to West Virginia.
As noted in the analysis of Scotland’s win over Haiti, the team currently holds a two-point lead at the top of Group C with three points. Their next fixture is scheduled against Morocco on Friday, June 19, also in Boston.
