Being there for @hearts_sc’s first-ever game at Fitzpatrick Stadium was an incredible experience.
Honored to be part of retelling that story.
Episode 5 of Up The Hearts is on YouTube now.

If fellow Scots 🏴 are planning to explore the beautiful coastal area north of Boston, now that you have a few days until Morocco, happy to share a few recommendations.
At a minimum, head up to Salem on the ferry (can come back on the commuter rail) for views & vibes.
🏴 Scotland’s away shirts carry Billy Bremner’s “Side before self, every time” printed inside the collar - a new addition for this evening.
Lovely touch.

John McGinn scored Scotland's first World Cup goal in 28 years.
He then did his trademark "googles" celebration, which he does for his nephew, who wears special eyewear to play soccer.
This sport is special.
Winning the opener in such a big way (most goals the #USMNT have scored in a World Cup game) is huge.
More Americans are going to be tuning in now. The U.S. are almost certainly guaranteed a knockout game.
This was the scene at 10 pm at a New Hampshire watch party.
#USMNT thoughts:
-US (65% possession) showed they can build an attack. Centerbacks are part of that.
-Pulisic, McKennie, Reyna, others thrived. This is why they’ve been called the Golden Generation
-Runs behind were effective. I love Balgoun’s movement x.com/FOXSports/status/20657…
“I know when the timing is right, it’s essentially not possible to defend it.”
In the fall I went to Monaco to talk to #USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. He discussed his interpretation of the position as a former winger as well as his connection on the pitch with Christian Pulisic, which has been under scrutiny recently.
Balo has been brilliant tonight. Breakout big game for him and the entire US attack, which looked very much in sync.
🇺🇸 Mauricio Pochettino tells FOX that Christian Pulisic got a kick in the calf and started to feel tight:
“We didn't want to take any risks.”
Pulisic adds he was "subbed off as a precaution."
