Scotland, no party? Brazil boogie all over Tartan Army's World Cup fun
Scotland’s World Cup party collided with on-pitch realities as the Tartan Army traveled across the U.S. for matches that mixed celebration with results. The article describes traveling fans arriving with hope to face Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil, in a backdrop of city-wide festivities including bagpipes, a mascot, and local promotions such as Irn-Bru and Samuel Adams. On the field, Scotland scored once in the tournament so far against Haiti, but Moroccan opposition changed the tone quickly when Ismael Saibari scored just 70 seconds into the match. Against Brazil, Steve Clarke’s side struggled early as Scott McKenna was dispossessed and Vinícius Júnior scored within minutes, later heading home after Scotland failed to clear. The piece notes VAR allowed Scotland to avoid a further setback. It adds that Scotland may still reach the last 32 depending on outcomes.
