The Shocking Reason Irish Fans are Suddenly Supporting America At the World Cup?

Why are Irish fans suddenly supporting America at the 2026 FIFA World Cup? Why has Scotland become one of the most popular teams in the USA? And why are football fans everywhere joking that Ireland has adopted Côte d'Ivoire because the flag looks like an upside-down Irish flag? The Republic of Ireland didn't qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026, but that hasn't stopped Irish fans from getting involved. Across social media, Irish supporters have been backing America, cheering for Scotland, joking about supporting Côte d'Ivoire, and reviving the famous "Anyone But England" rule. The World Cup in America has produced some hilarious moments. Scottish fans have gone viral across the United States, Boston's famous Irish pubs have been making headlines, and football supporters from around the world have been debating who they're backing now that their own countries are out of the tournament. In this video, I look at why Irish fans are supporting America at the World Cup, why Scotland has captured America's heart, the viral Côte d'Ivoire and Ireland flag jokes, the Irish-American connection, and the football rivalries that suddenly reappear every time a major tournament rolls around. Irish fans supporting America at the World Cup? Scotland becoming America’s favourite fanbase? And the old “Anyone But England” rule somehow making perfect sense again? As an Irish girl watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup in America, I’m looking at why so many Irish fans are suddenly backing the USA, why Scottish fans have captured America’s heart, why the Irish-American connection matters, and why football rivalries get ridiculous the second a major tournament starts. ▶ Patreon:   / dianejennings   ▶ Buy EDITOR DIANE a Coffee: https://www.paypal.me/DianeJennings ▶ Youtube Membership:    / @dianejennings   ▶ Merch: https://diane-jennings-shop.fourthwal...
