It feels like the whole of Scotland are squashed into Miami.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Boy, were we wrong.<\/p>\n
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’.<\/p>\n
Coming they are. Well, they’ve long arrived.<\/p>\n
The mile march from Lummus Park to Ocean Drive was magnificent. A throwback to Cologne two years ago at Euro 2024.<\/p>\n
Who said that couldn’t be topped?<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
All this without even thinking about the football. <\/p>\n
It’s only Brazil, eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It feels like the whole of Scotland are squashed into Miami.
