Scotland fans have left a lasting impression on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The Tartan Army's behavior during the 2026 World Cup has been described as 'very cheerful' by DeSantis.

What happened in Miami?

The Scotland fans traveled to Miami for their final group clash versus Brazil. DeSantis mentioned how they were all having a really good time and 'just drinking these bars dry'.

How did the fans behave?

As quoted by Florida Politics, DeSantis said: 'We had all these Scottish people come, and they’re wearing the kilts, and they’re kind of like, not storming in a bad way, but like out on the streets.' He continued: 'Just drinking these bars dry, like all this stuff … having a really, really good time.'

Are Scotland out of the World Cup?

At present, Scotland are on course to exit the 2026 World Cup as they are the 10th-best third-place team, with only the top eight qualifying. Their recent form has been 1W-0D-1L, with their last result being a 4-0 win against Liechtenstein on 2025-06-09.

What comes next for Scotland?

It is still technically possible for the Scots to progress into the Round of 32, but it would be quite the miracle. Scotland need Ghana to beat Croatia by at least three goals. They then need Uzbekistan to win or draw against DR Congo, and if they do win, they cannot win by more than three goals. Finally, Austria have to beat Algeria by two or more goals in their final match. As of 27 Jun 2026, Scotland's fate hangs in the balance, and only time will tell if they will make it to the next round.
