It feels like the whole of Scotland are squashed into Miami.
Many thought – me included – that Boston was the Tartan Army at its best and there was a wee, quiet, concern that ‘The Magic City’ couldn’t match it.
Boy, were we wrong.
Following on from Monday’s march to the Miami Marlins match – because baseball is what we follow now – Tuesday featured the TA bouncing down the beach to the soundtrack of ‘No Scotland, No Party’, ‘Yes Sir, I Can Boogie’ and ‘We’ll Be Coming’.
Coming they are. Well, they’ve long arrived.
The mile march from Lummus Park to Ocean Drive was magnificent. A throwback to Cologne two years ago at Euro 2024.
Who said that couldn’t be topped?
Locals are immersing themselves in the atmosphere – and the accent – and enjoying the influx of men in kilts who keep going on about the heat.
There really is that once in a lifetime feel about all this. Kicking about America, not aware of what day of the week it is with a flock of folk from home.
All this without even thinking about the football.
It’s only Brazil, eh?
