Scottish fans uphold traffic cone tradition ahead of Brazil match
Summary

The Tartan Army has brought its traffic cone tradition to Miami ahead of Scotland’s World Cup match against Brazil on June 24. This playful custom involves placing orange traffic cones on the heads of statues, a practice originating from Glasgow. Local Miami officials have expressed no objections to this lighthearted activity, even encouraging fans to engage with the tradition. The presence of Scotland supporters in Miami follows a spirited stint in Boston, where bars experienced beer shortages due to heightened attendance. Scotland needs at least a point against Brazil to advance to the knockout stage of the tournament, having earned three points from their first two matches.
