As corny as it may sound, the World Cup is one of those events that not only brings people of various ethnicities & nationalities together but also shows precisely just how much we actually crave community, need & want internationalism and shows just how united we can be.
The Iran team is playing next level:
Their country is being attacked.
They can't sleep on American soil.
11 staff denied visas.
5 hours of security just to enter the stadium.
Kicked out the moment the match ends.
Despite all of that, they kept competing. They kept fighting. They kept showing up.
No rest. No excuses. Just heart.
Me to my 6 Year Old: hey buddy. Team USA doesn’t play until after your bedtime tonight
Him: in this house, we stay up for America.
Me: jesus, ok. What snacks should we have?
Ian Houston, an American member of the Tartan Army, writes: "As I reflect on time spent among the Tartan Army in Boston, I am reminded that Scotland’s greatest export has never been a product or an industry. It is its people.
"Their warmth, humour, generosity, intelligence, and friendship leave a lasting impression wherever we go or stand.
"The Tartan Army is more than a gathering of football supporters. It is a living expression of community, connection, and goodwill.
"And if the friendships formed, the partnerships announced, and the enthusiasm shared in Boston, Miami, and beyond are any indication, then the best chapters in the story of Scotland’s global connections are still to be written." 👇

As the smallest nation ever to play in the World Cup, Curaçao leaves the biggest stage after stealing all of our hearts 🫡🇨🇼❤️
The tiny Caribbean island country scored against Germany and took a point from Ecuador. See you at the next one 👏
Y tras el silbatazo final que confirmó su eliminación de la Copa del Mundo, varios jugadores de la Selección de Curazao se fueron al centro de la cancha para agradecer todo lo vivido y simplemente se sentaron a platicar como si estuvieran el barrio.
Siendo de Curazao, se supone que nunca iban a llegar a una justa mundialista. Pero lo lograron. Y pudieron celebrar un gol ante Alemania, lograron conseguir un punto ante Ecuador y emocionaron a todo el planeta fútbol con su entrega, corazón y amor por la pelota.
Esto también es fútbol, señoras y señores.
Llegar ahí, participar y competir dignamente, es su triunfo.
IMPOSIBLE NO EMOCIONARSE.
Nous remercions le peuple mexicain pour l’accueil, son hospitalité, l’amour et le fair-play.
Le football c’est l’amour 💙💛❤️🇨🇩

Fifa rezilliğe devam ediyorken markalar da gerilla pazarlama dersi veriyor resmen.
Resmi sponsor olmadığı için otellerdeki ketçap mayonezin bile üstünü siyah bantla kapatan Fifa'nın şark kurnazlığı, markaları etkilemiyor aksine onlara yeni bir reklam alanı açıyor.
When the Scots hit Boston for the World Cup… first they’re putting traffic cones on statues, then they’re turning the whole city into pure chaos — and we’re HERE for it! 😂🍻
We’re eating their plane tickets so they can’t go home. Scotland, you’re stuck with us now! ⚽🏴
Lo de la FIFA es inédito.
Los condimentos de la competición son todos heinz, pero como no es sponsor de la copa los están tapando con duck tape.
No solo lograron visibilidad y una excusa para comunicar, sino que ahora están haciendo mkt en conjunto con levi’s.
Esto es esencialmente marketing de guerrilla.
