World Cup Culture

The World Cup hasn’t even started yet and this is already some of my favorite content. Watching other cultures experience North America for the first time. This is what it’s all about. 🧵

@Jellenne We needed this

Ok everyone, who is having more fun so far visiting here for the World Cup? Freddy and his pals from Germany? Shaun and The Tartan Army from Scottland? The hundreds of Japanese? Elsa from Sweden?

One of my favorite parts of this World Cup is learning about the ethnic enclaves all over America. Every broadcast cuts to fans “the Curaçaoan community in Wilmington, Delaware” and it’s just a packed street going absolutely insane. 😂 This country never stops surprising me.

Hydration breaks feel like the Sunday Scaries. Except they happen twice a game. Every game.

This is what Tunisia looks like !?😱

One thing I learned about this place. You don’t need permission. 😂

@Michaelfiore Was this ever a debate?

One of the most incredible aspects of the World Cup in the United States is what we DIDN’T have to do to prepare for it. Qatar built multiple brand new stadiums, a metro system, roads, hotels, and entire districts. South Africa built new stadiums, parking, etc. Brazil spent billions on stadium and transit projects. Russia built and rebuilt venues across the country. Meanwhile, the U.S. was like: “We’re good.” Like, we modified the playing surface in some stadiums and that was it. The sport venue infrastructure in the US mogs every other country on earth and it’s not even close.

My wife thought Ecuador vs Ivory Coast was the last game 😂

@ScottHanson You are the man 🤝

@PabloDanielWC Thanks sir 🫡

The World Cup ⚽️ fans visiting and discovering things about 🇺🇸 is the single greatest trend I’ve seen on this platform in years. To planet Earth: WELCOME ! Hope you have a great time. (Whatever your favorites or “greatest hits” are… please drop them below.) ⬇️

@FreddyLA7 The biggest of everything is here

The hotel that JJ Watt put us up in gave us a tour of their biggest suite. It costs $150,000 a night. Completely insane. It even had its own basketball court.😭

@ScottHanson Here’s the other thread

There’s nothing Americans love more than watching someone from somewhere else realize how special this place is.

The Tartan Army marched through Boston with their bagpipes. Destination: Fenway Park.

@fiago7 You killed my dreams in the final

You know what happened the last time we won 7-1 in the World Cup 🏆🇩🇪

I don’t get tired of these stories. Here are 7 more things World Cup visitors are saying about America.

@elsathora Ok now you’re trolling

I just had an out of body experience

@FreddyLA7 Things are about to get even bigger

CHOOSIN' TEXAS🤠

“Americans are so lucky.”

A European just saw an American high school football stadium for the first time.
