The 2026 World Cup has seen plenty of fan bases travel to the United States, but absolutely nobody throws a party quite like Scotland.
As the national team gears up for their massive Group C decider against Brazil, the Tartan Army has completely taken over the streets of Miami with their love of the game.
How The Tartan Army Is Fueling Scotland's Belief
Instead of letting their heads drop after the heartbreaking loss to Morocco, the Scottish faithful have doubled down on their support to help the squad bounce back.
Trading the northeast for the tropical heat of South Florida, thousands of fans are using their passion and belief to lift the team's spirits, marching from the boardwalks of Ocean Drive to the heart of Little Havana in kilts and bagpipes.
The travelling support even remixed Will Smith's track "Miami" as their new anthem. They simply haven't stopped singing since they landed, packing out local pubs like the Auld Dubliner. That party atmosphere could be the difference to getting a result against Brazil.
The Tartan Army Brings Scottish Spirit To Miami
The Highlanders don't just love the beautiful game they also seem to be big fans of baseball. Thousands of Scotland fans descended upon LoanDepot Park for a Miami Marlins baseball game on Monday night.
Armed with their "No Scotland, No Party" attitude and belting out the 1970s disco anthem "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie," they completely hijacked the stadium's atmosphere.
This was one of the culture clashes that definitely wasn't on any one of our bingo cards for the World Cup. Seems like a lot of fans are making the most of their time in the States.
Can Scotland Shock Brazil And Make History?
On paper Brazil vs Scotland doesn't sound like a game with the chance of a shock result. But if anything the Samba Boys haven't been looking like five time World Champions as of late.
The Scots and the Brazilians have crossed paths four times previously at the World Cup, and it has historically been a fixture of ultimate heartbreak for the Tartan Army.
Drawing once and losing the other 3 times, Scotland have a chance of rewriting history on the biggest stage. On paper that record doesn't look great but only one game was decided by more than one goal.
Following their gritty 1-0 win over Haiti and that narrow loss to Morocco, Steve Clarke's men still control their own destiny. Captain Andy Robertson knows exactly what is at stake.
A positive result against a star-studded Brazil side will see Scotland advance to the World Cup knockout stages for the very first time in their history.
Ancelotti's side has special players who can give defenders nightmares. However once those players cross the white line anything is possible. Brazil have one of their weaker squads in years and this could be the battle of arrogance vs togetherness.
For the sake of the neutral, we hope that Scotland get the job done to see the party last a bit longer.
