As the World Cup begins, Boston is welcoming around 30,000 Scottish fans, known as the Tartan Army, who are experiencing temperatures of 31C. The atmosphere is lively, particularly at local venues like The Haven Bar, where fans are enjoying the festivities ahead of Scotland's match against Haiti on Saturday.

Concerns have arisen regarding accommodation for the influx of fans, especially as many do not have match tickets. Boston's mayor is exploring options to create a designated area for supporters, although its readiness for the upcoming match remains uncertain.
