In Boston, a duck carrying a flag joined a march by Scottish fans
In Boston, tens of thousands of Scotland national team fans gathered before a World Cup match and staged a massive fan march. Unexpectedly, an unusual “participant” joined this colorful crowd—a duck carrying a Scottish flag.
In Boston, on the eve of the World Cup match between Scotland and Morocco, the city was literally filled with Scottish fans, who gathered in a huge procession and marched through the streets, turning an ordinary day into a true soccer celebration with songs, flags, and loud cheers for their team.
According to the BBC, about 50,000 people took part in the fan march, creating the atmosphere of a massive European away section in the middle of the United States, and it was right in the middle of this crowd that an unusual “participant” suddenly appeared—a duck that moved along with the crowd and even carried a Scottish flag, instantly becoming a viral highlight of the event.
This curious moment quickly spread across the internet, as against the backdrop of a serious soccer rivalry between the national teams, it seemed like a heartwarming and almost symbolic touch to a major sporting celebration that unites people regardless of nationality or circumstances. The match itself ended in a narrow victory—midfielder John McGinn scored the only goal in the first half, securing an important result for Scotland in a game that took place after this lively fan march. The BBC reported on this.
