Scotland fans have arrived in Miami in their thousands, braving extremely hot temperatures ahead of Wednesday's World Cup match against Brazil. The Tartan Army, fresh from dominating Boston's bars and landmarks, now spreads across a larger, more diverse area in Miami, sharing the city with sizable Brazilian and Argentine fan bases. Despite initial concerns about local reception, a march through Little Havana saw Americans welcoming the fans, with one local lamenting the late arrival of his kilt. While most fans focus on the upcoming game, some look ahead to potential knockout stage travel. Scotland, with three points from beating Haiti, needs a win, draw, or specific outcomes in other matches to advance, potentially leading to a scramble for tickets to subsequent locations like Boston, New Jersey, or Mexico City.
