Scotland's World Cup party has it all - except the one thing that matters

Scotland’s World Cup party is described as more of a celebration than a performance, with the main issue being results. Writing from Kansas City, the article says Scotland’s travelling group can enjoy the atmosphere in Boston and Miami while waiting to learn if they reach the knockouts, but football quality has not matched the hype. It cites moments such as a brief 15-minute spell pressuring Morocco, yet Scotland failed to register a shot on target in the match sequence described. After a goal by John McGinn vs Haiti, Scotland’s run is questioned by a lower xG than their opponents, an early goal conceded to Morocco within two minutes, and a Brazil display that included gifts at both ends of the first half. Steve Clarke is mentioned after he said he would show a different version of himself in the US, but the article argues nothing changed.
