Sam Adams says from Thursday to Sunday, the Tartan Army drank four times as much Boston Lager as it normally sells during a typical four-day holiday stretch like the Fourth of July. https://t.co/g8NvYxiQD6
🚨 I HAVE A FEELING SOMETHING HUGE WILL HAPPEN AT THE WORLD CUP… & I THINK IT MAY INVOLVE SCOTLAND! 👽⚽🏴
Friends…I am SO EXCITED!!!
Today the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins — & my beloved SCOTLAND are BACK where they belong, on football’s biggest stage!
After 28 long, agonising years of not qualifying, the Tartan Army has RETURNED!
This is HISTORIC!
And I truly believe Steve Clarke, Andy Robertson, Scott McTominay, John McGinn & the entire squad have the spirit, courage & fighting heart to SURPRISE THE WORLD!
Their victorious qualifying match with Denmark was one of the MOST INCREDIBLE games of football I have EVER seen – with two of the most SPECTACULAR stoppage time goals ever from Scotland!
So how will they fare in the 1st round of the World Cup?
BRAZIL will be a mighty challenge.
MOROCCO are one of the strongest teams on the planet.
And,of course, HAITI will be desperate to make their own mark.
But NEVER, NEVER underestimate the power of Scottish passion!
Yes, anything can happen in football, & I'm not a prophet or a miracle worker, BUT if any team can produce miracles, it's Scotland!
My message to the team – and to every Scottish fan is:
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
FIGHT WITH THE HEART OF WILLIAM WALLACE!
&
PLAY WITH THE COURAGE OF ROBERT THE BRUCE!
I will send ALL my ENERGY & MINDPOWER – before, during & after every game!⚡️ & millions of others will too!
& there is something else…
I've often thought: if ALIENS wanted to DISCLOSE themselves to humanity they might choose a time when BILLIONS of people are watching a live televised event.
SO...is it possible that:
🚨 ALIENS MAY USE THE WORLD CUP TO REVEAL THEMSELVES!?
I can just imagine it happening – maybe in the FINAL match - a HUGE UFO descending over the stadium, as the footage is broadcast LIVE around the world!!
So please WATCH the SKIES above every game..as even if no huge UFO appears there may still be other strange sightings!
Whatever happens…I feel this World Cup will be AMAZING!
And if aliens DO decide to appear…
Please let them wait until SCOTLAND has scored the winner! 😉👽🏆
COME ON SCOTLAND!!!
⚽🏴⚡️👁️

Great to see Graham Arnold doing so well. Good coach, great company and very, very competitive. Arnold was assistant coach to Frank Farina when Australia beat England at Upton Park in 2003. “We walked up the tunnel at half-time,” Arnold told me once, “and all you could hear was Beckham going to Sven, ‘we’re not f****** coming off. We can’t be down 2-0 at half-time and come off.’ Sven still changed the whole team. That p*ssed us off.”
Very good coach in his own right. Yet overlooked for English vacancies down the years, including Millwall, Bolton and Norwich. His managerial record warranted greater consideration. A-League legend. And since.
Guided Australia to the 2022 World Cup, into the knockouts and only lost to Argentina, eventual champions. L’Equipe named Arnold the best coach of the tournament. Australia alarmed England in a 2023 Wembley friendly before losing 1-0. “Last Fright of the Poms” Mirror headline. Arnold has now steered Iraq to the 2026 World Cup, their first appearance in 40 years. 👏👏
TELLY GOLD: On Archie Gemmill’s birthday, a reminder of his appearance on “Phoenix from the Flames”.
Includes a hint of Trainspotting… and Ally MacLeod as a proboscis monkey.
