One fan in a Sweden jersey impressed onlookers, including the TV crew from KHOU 11 News, with his cowboy hat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The broadcaster on the scene inquired whether the fashion statement was a new addition or whether he brought it from home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom Buc-ee\u2019s,\u201d the fan replied. \u201cSo go, Buc-ee\u2019s. Great place. I love the beef jerky. We love the cowboy style!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The popular gas station chain has impressed countless fans with its unprecedented size and selection for road-trippers in the Southern U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Scottish emergency room visit:<\/strong> The American healthcare system is often mocked by Europeans who boast about their high-ranking hospitals and taxpayer-funded systems. But as Scotland\u2019s \u201cTartan Army\u201d of soccer fans took New England by storm, one visitor said he was impressed by his visit to a U.S. emergency room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a tremendous experience,\u201d Scottish video-creator Shaun Alexander said on social media. \u201cThe staff at this place were phenomenal, so nice and kind to us and so interested in our story and what we\u2019re doing here for the World Cup. They even gave us candies to try for our adventures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alexander said the ER visit was for his wife, who suffered a \u201cminor\u201d bout of food poisoning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe service was pretty much identical, almost exactly the same,\u201d he noted, comparing the healthcare experience to his native United Kingdom. \u201cI don\u2019t know exactly how the costing works out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After an initial $800 payment, he expects travel insurance to foot the remainder of the bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coffee for the Dutch:<\/strong> While Sweden\u2019s fans donned cowboy hats ahead of Saturday\u2019s match in Houston, their Dutch opposition marched toward a coffee shop. A large contingent of orange-wearing supporters spurned bars and pubs for Dutch Bros., a coffee chain with dozens of locations throughout the continental U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=2503\">Happy non-gestating parents day<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photos from the event pictured swarms of Netherlands supporters congregating around the coffee chain, likely drawn by their Dutch ties. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It marked a break in the fans\u2019 2 1\/2 mile walk from Rice University\u2019s campus to Houston Stadium for the group stage match.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Dutch have invaded Dutch Bros,\u201d one X user wrote, alongside an image that featured a deluge of orange shirts for the nation\u2019s soccer team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Subsequent photos showed the Dutch visitors climbing the building\u2019s roof to get a better view of the 15,000 supporters who marched toward Houston Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>The Netherlands went on to win their second group stage match 5-1 over Sweden.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ranch innovations:<\/strong> Europe, as many Americans online have learned, does not heavily feature the ranch sauce that accompanies wings and salads across the U.S. Many World Cup tourists have fallen in love with the dressing over the past two weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did no one tell me ranch sauce is like crack,\u201d Swedish fan Elsa Thora wrote on social media. \u201cEUROPE WE NEED RANCH ASAP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some Europeans have taken the task into their own hands \u2014 and luggage. Officials from TSA posted on social media, reminding travelers of the limit for liquids in carry-on baggage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease avoid chugging ranch outside security,\u201d the TSA Instagram page wrote. \u201cThe airlines will check it for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kraft Heinz, which produces countless condiments, is ready to capitalize on the need for TSA-approved ranch. The brand has outlined plans to sell a \u201cKraft TSA-Compliant Ranch Kit,\u201d which features a quart-sized plastic bag filled with individually wrapped packets of the sauce.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome visitors leave with souvenirs,\u201d Kraft wrote on its Instagram page. \u201cOthers leave with America\u2019s favorite dressing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Full details about the ranch kits will be announced in the coming weeks, likely before the World Cup ends with a final in New Jersey on July 19.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=2501\">Congress, not presidents alone, must commit the nation to war<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seeing the U.S. through the eyes of international tourists visiting for the World Cup has given locals who may take the more singular aspects of American culture for granted a new perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2506,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[143,142],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soccer","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
