Summary

  • $21,500 has been raised by Scotland supporters for Rhode Island charities, including Hasbro Children's Hospital, as the Tartan Army moved from Boston to Miami for Friday's World Cup match with Brazil.
  • Miami became the latest stop in the fans' takeover after they packed a Major League Baseball stadium and crowded South Beach, extending the festive scenes that marked Scotland's first World Cup appearance in 26 years.
  • Scotland enters the Brazil game with a win over Haiti and a loss to Morocco, leaving the team still in contention to reach the knockout stage.
  • A draw or better against Brazil would strengthen Scotland's chances, while the team could still advance as one of the tournament's top eight third-place finishers.
