You knew back then.

And you're right.

I mean, it is...

I mean, the Tottenham Army is beautiful for so many reasons.

I'm old enough to remember when Boston used to be an Irish city.

And just to see them come in and fall in love with Boston and to quadruple the beer sales over a weekend that they have on St.

Patrick's Day, which is throwing down the gauntlet.

But overall, the joy of the Tartan Army is really profound.

I grew up in Liverpool in the 1980s.

Football fandom was the hooliganism and England was struggling and football was parochial and you would march all over Europe and every team was going to win and have violence.

The fans, we wanted the taste of blood in our mouth.

You'd go and there'd be...

And in World Cups too, just pitch battles against police, against other fans, against anybody that you could, you know, you were letting out a profound national anger.

And I think the thing that's been really beautiful, and my God, we needed it in America.

We really did.

We needed them to come over and revel in our bookies.

We needed them to come over and be like, oh, they're smothered and covered.

What is this?

We needed that.

They're falling in love with us and we can fall in love with ourselves again.
