With the new set up in this extended 48-team World Cup, third place could be enough to extend our trip a little longer.
If the Scotland players need to find any motivation at all going into our crucial opener tonight, they just need to look at the efforts of Craig Ferguson.
The Paisley lad walked the length of America, raising over £1million for men’s mental health.
After his gruelling walk from Hampden Park to Munich ahead of Euro 2024, it was hard to imagine what he could possibly do to top that feat.
But in a bid to mark our first World Cup in 28 years in style, the charity campaigner has truly outdone himself.
He was greeted at Boston Common by delighted fans yesterday as the world’s media once again surrounded the Tartan Army superhero, desperate to get his reaction at the end of the mammoth trek.
The Scotland fan will now get some well-deserved downtime before getting to enjoy our opening match against Haiti at the Gillette Stadium – and no one deserves to see us pick up that vital win more than him.
Elsewhere in the city fans are once again soaking up the glorious sunshine as they gave us their predictions ahead of the big match.
There is a real sense of anticipation. A feeling that this could be our time – our chance to finally get out of a group at a major tournament.
No one needs to be reminded that history isn’t kind to us when it comes to this sort of thing.
But the feeling across the pond is that things could – and should – be different this time.
With the new set up in this extended 48-team World Cup, third place could be enough to extend our trip a little longer.
One huge performance could be enough – and no one who has made the long trip over here wants to see us go home early again.
