This World Cup has been surreal as a Scottish ⚽️ commentator with a Boston life when away from the 🎙️
Yet work commitments mean being on the west coast commentating while the fun has been going on.
Can only say I’ve smiled a lot looking at my worlds colliding, albeit on video.

@prajhiid No it’s USA only

Big day at the World Cup for obvious reasons. Stay awake with us later here on the west coast for Türkiye-Paraguay. FS1 at 11pm ET/8pm Pacific.

@Dodox7y4 Very strange yes :)

[Derek Rae @RaeComm]

Hoping (and sensing) this is the World Cup that opens eyes. So many Boston area people have been exposed to 🌎⚽️ & specifically to our little 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 country‘s culture.
Sports talk hosts, local TV are embracing it in a way the old media guard just wouldn’t in 1994.

The Boston Red Sox would be crazy if after the World Cup they don’t invite Super John McGinn to return as their guest at Fenway and have him throw the ceremonial first pitch.

Now we need a daily flight from
Glasgow to Boston.

[Only In Boston @OnlyInBOS]

Boston and Glasgow are becoming official partners.

Mayor Michelle Wu announced plans for a new partnership between the two cities, building on historic ties and the goodwill created by the 2026 World Cup.

That‘s 4 games down for Rob Green and me. Switzerland ran away with it in the end against the Bosnians but had to work hard for the 3 points.
Thanks for watching on @FOXSoccer
Back up to the Bay Area for the next game tomorrow.

Matt did it the right way :)

Lovely day following some recommendations headed to Salem, Beverly and the Essex scenic trail (Manchester by the Sea also lovely) then back home. Great to see more of the area. Joes on a Roll a hit @RaeComm 👍😋

@bikey99 Enjoying the area? :)

We are so lucky to see Olise perform these feats of magic in the Bundesliga every week.
