Summary
Boston organisers and FIFA said crowd control, rail routing and stadium entry have been adjusted for Friday's Scotland v Morocco game after severe delays at Scotland's opener.
Nearly 20,000 fans bought train tickets for Scotland v Haiti, where supporters reported waits of up to two hours for trains, slow security checks and crush risks outside the 64,000-seat stadium.
MBTA said signage and routing have been improved after moving an "unprecedented" number of riders, while Boston 26 said minor changes already produced a smooth entry operation for Wednesday's Norway v Iraq match.
More than 16,000 train tickets have already been sold for Scotland v Morocco, and another sell-out is expected at Foxborough, where World Cup parking has been cut to 5,000 spaces from the usual 20,000.
