  • Hintz apologized to her audience for the fans' behavior, attributing it to excessive drinking.

A live interview outside Miami's LoanDepot Park took an awkward turn for U.S. journalist Kacy Hintz when she approached a group of boisterous Scottish football fans. Hintz, reporting for WPLG Local 10, was attempting to get pre-match comments ahead of the game between Scotland and Brazil.

As Hintz extended her microphone to one fan, he grabbed it, put his arm around her, and shouted into her ear, "We love Miami!" The situation escalated as another fan joined in, shouting, "Up the fucking Scotland, up Scotland!" Despite the growing commotion and the fans' increasingly effusive gestures and chants, Hintz tried to maintain her professional composure.

Following the incident, Hintz issued an apology to her viewers for the fans' expletives, explaining, "Sorry about these drunks." She added, "A couple of bad words slipped in. These guys have been drinking all day." The journalist appeared visibly uncomfortable due to the fans' behavior.

In a moment of apparent remorse amidst the chaos, one of the fans shouted an apology. The match itself concluded with a decisive 3-0 victory for Brazil over Scotland.
