Viral Clip on X
A clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) shows Corden praising Scottish fans: "The Scottish fans, the Tartan Army. They are the most incredible fans. They were so excited to be there for the World Cup." He introduced footage of thousands of supporters marching into Boston Stadium in kilts, accompanied by bagpipes.
Cheerleader Reaction
The segment highlighted Scottish fans' reactions to American stadium entertainment, including cheerleaders. One fan watched with his mouth wide open, prompting Corden to joke: "Everybody loves to make fun of America, until you get to America and you're like, okay now I get it." The audience burst into laughter.
Comedic Takes
Ian Karmel added: "This is because all the Europeans who come to America, it's like a college student in between their first and second year at Cambridge. But once we get a bunch of drunk Germans and Scottish people, who are sports fans coming here, you show them an Arby's beef and cheddar. That's how you heal the world baby."
Viewer Reactions
Not all viewers were convinced. One X user pointed out: "Who’s going to tell him that was the march to the baseball and not the football." Despite inaccuracies, the clip has delighted audiences.
