When World Cup fans come together, joy follows

from The Current

During this World Cup, fans are coming together in unexpected encounters. We hear from Boston — where the Tartan Army has invaded from Scotland, allowing Boston locals to make a bunch of new Scottish friends. From Lawrence, Kansas, where locals like artist Stan Herd have wrapped their arms around the Algerian team that's training there. And from Guadalajara, Mexico, where filmmaker Emanuel Hahn tells us about an unfolding love affair between Mexican and Korean fans.
