As a man who wears a kilt, a woman asked me if anything was worn underneath.

No, I told her, not worn at all. In fact, it’s in excellent condition.

Nothing. Arabian Gulf men wear abaya/qamis, it's essentially a long white robe. Dangling balls is the norm with those crazy temperatures over there.

flatsixorbust t1_ixtog17 wrote

Gulf men wear thobes, not abayas, and they do wear something under them. Abayas are for women, “kamiz” are Central Asian (not Gulf Arab).

Why? Scotland and England are huge rivals so it makes sense that they’d be rooting for USA

The_Boris t1_ixr1bwj wrote

Those guys do not look Scottish. And Scottish fans may have an “anyone but England” mantra but it doesn’t stretch to buying clothing. And sorry, but the average Scot wouldn’t wear an American flag top, just wouldn’t happen.

It’s a kilt, as I’m sure you know, but what’s even your point here? A Scotsman wearing a kilt is hardly comparable to him wearing an American flag top is it

Yes. In fact, anyone who takes their tartan seriously would not wear a kilt with a nonsense t-shirt.

We're not really huge rivals at all. We just really enjoy taking this piss out of each other. It's what we do.

Funtycuck t1_ixr25c0 wrote

Huge rivals in football? Nah, theres some bad feeling coming from particularly shitty disregard in recent English politics for the Scots but never really encountered the Scottish caring so much outside of when we play each other.

Now the Welsh would likely go to bat for the otherside at least from experience of Welsh rugby fans.

Yeah this much more likely to be Americans pretending to be Scottish than actual Scots. Most of whom would much rather wear an England shirt than an American one.

Are they not just Americans? Not sure you'd find that many who'd bring a yank shirt to wear and they are looking a bit tan for Scots... (and not tan enough for Brits abroad, its pale or burnt)

NeatNuts t1_ixrbwwr wrote

Only tan one is Florida Man (Gators cap). All the others are pretty pasty and red faced for an American. But I’m an American living in the sunny south, idk how pale Scots are

Or they are transplants of some kind. They are either Americans that now live in Scotland, or maybe we're born in Scotland and for the last 20+ years have been living in the US, and by the looks somewhere near the gulf.

FrankieMcGigglefits t1_ixsnt1m wrote

Itt: people gatekeeping what it means to be Scottish or have Scottish ancestry.

They have zero idea or respect for Scottish contributions to places like Texas (most of the defenders of the Alamo were Scottish, for example) or for Scottish contributions to America.

These are the same morons that tell me Edinburgh isn't in Scotland, and there are no black folks in Scotland. Literally. Here on reddit.

Who cares what they're wearing? The bigger issue is why anyone would support fifa or the wc this year given the oppressive nature of the host country. These men are sellouts.

Love it when fans of teams that didn't qualify for the WC try and be "funny". They may be Scottish and support the US, but their national team is absolute dogshit.

Even the Welsh qualified for Christ's sake.

They're almost certainly not Scottish though. Just look at their footwear. I'm Scottish and you just don't wear shoes like that with a kilt. Possibly the grey ones, but all the rest look insane.

Splyce123 t1_ixssm7a wrote

So they're "American Scottish"? The same way loads of Americans claim they're Irish. This sort of faux nationalism pisses me off. I'm an Englishman living in England with an Irish Wife who has a born and bred Dundonian dad. He would never wear this bullshit.
