England fans slammed by Boston locals over chant they sang in pub

Interestingly, the rules on progression from this World Cup might mean that Scotland fans are cheering on a big England victory vs Ghana tonight, but it still seems as if the fans won't be getting along.

Throughout the tournament so far, we've seen fans from different countries celebrate and drink together, with videos on social media showing just how popular some of the South Korean fans have been in Mexico.

But for England and Scotland, there was always likely to be a rivalry and after the Tartan Army made a good impression during their time in Boston, it seems as if the locals aren't as happy with having English fans there ahead of tonight's second fixture.

It seems like almost the entire of Scotland has headed over to the US for the World Cup and the combination of kilts, bagpipes and beer has proved a winning combination for the Americans, with relations between the two countries seemingly never better.

We've seen one local American man fully embrace the group of Scottish fans who moved in down his street, the Governor of Massachusetts legalise haggis and even Boston's Mayor Michelle Wu establishing a sister partnership with Glasgow.

So, it's clear that the Boston locals are sad to see the Scots go as they prepare to face Brazil in their final group C fixture in Florida, with English fans so far not fostering the same friendships.

A viral online video recently captured English fans singing about Scotland going home, and it didn't go down too well with the locals, who of course aren't really familiar with the whole football rivalry banter.

"F**k off Tartan Army, you've had your f**king party, you're going home," is how the chant went.

Check it out:

Responding to the video, one American wrote on social media: "English are here and f**king the vibes, Scots stick around and fight them with us?"

One thing is for certain and that is that English fans will continue to drink the city dry during their brief spell in Boston.

"We're going through so much beer, and we have only a decent-sized keg room," bar owner Brian McDonnell told LBC.

"We're still going through so much that we had to rent a couple of mobile fridge units that we have out in the back alley so we always have beer rotating through – it's always cold, it's always flowing.

'It’s been amazing – Scotland’s like the ideal crowd we could have got. Obviously (they are) big boozers, big partiers – but while doing all that, they caused zero problems.

"I said over the last two weeks of madness… I don’t think we’ve had to kick out a single person. There’s been no scraps, no malice from anyone. Everyone’s here for a good time."

While some Scots might well be returning to Boston in nine months time if they loved their time in the state capital a little too much, it's clear that they had the time of their lives there, even if their World Cup campaign could still end in the group stages.

Such was their impression that the Boston Globe even took out a full-page advertisement to say farewell.

"For a week, you turned train stations into sing-alongs, Fenway into a football ground, and an ordinary June into something we'll be talking about for years,' the letter read.

"Boston has hosted championships, parades, and celebrations of every kind. But we've never hosted guests quite like you all. Thank you for the laughter, the bagpipes and the memories. The World Cup will move on. So will the songs, but we'll never forget the joy you brought to our city."

As long as the English fans behave themselves and don't sing about Boston's beloved Blue Scots or Red Sox, then maybe they'll get a love letter as well.
