With Scotland returning to the Fifa World Cup after a gap of 28 years, and their fans are already making their heads turn in Boston. The Kilt-clad Scottish fans landed at the Boston International Airport ahead of their match against Haiti on Saturday proudly revealing they “ran out of beer” on the seven-hour flight journey across the Atlantic. “Been drinking since one o’clock in the morning when I got up,” said Scottish fan David Wood as he arrived on US soil. “We ran out of beer.” And once the beer was emptied, the Scottish fans revealed they first turned to wine and then to whisky on the flight. “We had a round of applause when we landed,” Wood added. “I don’t know if you do that here. That’s a very Scottish thing. “I’m going to find Cheers. That’s what I want do.

Written by: Express News Service 3 min readUpdated: May 22, 2026 04:00 PM IST The large football field of Bentley Falcons has a giant manual scoreboard that keeps track of ‘soccer style’ offensive and defensive demarcations, as it registers goals scored and goals saved. But it’s the grass beneath the feet that earned Bentley University the right to welcome the French national football team, l’Équipe de France de Football, on June 11. Chosen as the campus for the official Team Base Camp Training Site for the FIFA World Cup 2026, the incoming French will put both Bentley and the city of Waltham on the global sports map. Its proximity to Foxborough, Massachusetts, where games will be played, put the town near Boston in prime position as did the top-quality athletic fields and modern workout facilities. Boasting of true grass in Boston, Bentley was approved by Philippe Diallo, president of the French Football Federation, Didier Deschamps, head coach of the French national team, who will be looking for a win after losing out unfortunately to the …

White Sox acquire right-hander Jordan Hicks from Boston for prospect Gage Ziehl

White Sox acquire right-hander Jordan Hicks from Boston for prospect Gage Ziehl

Published by Parlour News

BOSTON — The Chicago White Sox acquired right-hander Jordan Hicks from Boston along with some of the cash to pay him from the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Chicago also will receive pitching prospect David Sandlin and two players to be named in the deal that will send right-handed prospect Gage Ziehl and a player to the Red Sox. Sandlin was ranked by Baseball America as the No. 7 prospect and No. 2 pitching prospect in the Red Sox organization. Boston had been searching for hitting this offseason — even before losing third baseman Alex Bregman as a free agent — but instead signed lefty Ranger Suárez as a free agent and picked up righty Sonny Gray in a trade with the Cardinals. The moves left them with a potential pitching glut — along with a potential luxury tax bill — and the opportunity to move some arms for hitters. The White Sox traded center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to the New York Mets last month, and Chicago general manager Chris Getz said they would …

Published by Parlour News

Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney has been accused of “threatening” his players before the NHL 2024-25 trade deadline. A source told RG.org that Sweeney gathered the team’s core players after firing former head coach Jim Montgomery in November and told them they needed to improve or risk being traded. However, despite the warning, the Bruins struggled, posting a 3-6-2 record from February 1 until the NHL Trade Deadline on March 7. In a surprising move, Sweeney traded away Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, Brandon Carlo, and forwards Justin Brazeau and Marc McLaughlin.
