Couldn't have put it better.

There are a lot of Scots in LA scattered around, but trying to coordinate them all and get them to travel across the city to designated spots can be surprisingly difficult. I used to run a TA group in Seattle before I moved down here and always had a bit of a headache drumming up numbers for the pub if it wasn't a major decider. We don't seem to stick together as much as other immigrant cultures. Or maybe just nobody wants to stick around with me.... With that said I'm hopeful that our first tournament in decades, coupled with the fact that we are coming out of COVID here, should mean I can get something put together.

After living out here for years and watching games mostly on my tod, I've had enough and am going to try and coordinate folks who want to watch the Euros with kindred spirits. If you are this guy, then you are presumably in the same boat. I'm in the process of setting up a Facebook group. Send me a PM if you want to be included in communications.

Don't we all?

Hear a lot of blokes banging on (both online and in the pub) about the quality of the football product but I really don't see the argument. For international games at least it's as much about pride, blood and snotters and the womens' team is more than capable of that. As for quality I can understand the argument but I've been to more than a few Tartan Army games where the millionaires on the pitch failed to show any signs of that apparent quality and talent. I've also done my time watching Caley in absolute shitfests of games in the lower divisions of Scottish football. Some of them have been absolutely brutal. I certainly expect to see talent and quality when I watch Messi et al. in the Champions League, but my expectations when I go to a men's domestic game in Scotland are usually rock bottom. Why do the women have to be held to a higher standard? With all that said, Hope Solo is full of shite - the financials need to add up.
