Scotland’s World Cup Comeback Journey

About this episode

Donald Erskine shares his personal journey and the excitement surrounding Scotland's return to the World Cup in 2026.

Scotland’s long-awaited World Cup return in 2026 is electrifying fans and journalists alike, as Donald Erskine, turning thirty and never having seen Scotland play at a World Cup before, dives into the heart of the Tartan Army’s historic run. With a solid warm-up win, a hopeful 43rd world ranking, and a tough but not impossible group, the team’s journey is personal for Erskine—and for every fan who’s waited nearly three decades. From Boston’s late-night bars to Miami’s fan zones, he’s capturing everything from anthems to anthems-to-go, even if it means attempting questionable overhead kicks. Plus, with the governor extending last call to 3 AM and public spaces open for drinking through July, the party’s just getting started. Erskine’s also spotlighting fans like the one trekking across the country for charity, whose adventure could stretch longer than expected if Scotland keeps flying. It’s not just about the matches—it’s about the roar, the ride, and the unforgettable ride across the Atlantic, packed with supporters and a little too much beer.
