Meanwhile in Scotland

[Scottish Banter @1scottishbanter]

Choose Argentina.
Choose the blue and white.
Choose Messi.
Choose Maradona.
Choose the Hand of God.
Choose the left foot, the low centre of gravity and the ball that somehow never leaves their control.
Choose a nation where football isn’t just a sport, it’s a religion.
Choose packed streets in Buenos Aires.
Choose flags hanging from every balcony.
Choose drums, flares and 90 minutes of absolute chaos.
Choose number 10s who don’t just play the game, they change it forever.
Choose Maradona dancing through defenders like they weren’t there.
Choose Messi walking around the pitch, waiting for the exact moment to ruin someone’s night.
Choose outrageous goals.
Choose impossible passes.
Choose free-kicks that bend around walls and into history.
Choose last-minute winners.
Choose penalty shootouts you can barely watch.
Choose grown men crying in the stands.
Choose the World Cup champions.
Choose a country that gave football two of the greatest players it has ever seen.
Choose temporarily forgetting every argument you’ve ever had about Messi and Ronaldo.
Choose learning the words to Muchachos by kick-off.
Choose backing Argentina with the same passion as someone born and raised in Rosario.
Choose anyone playing England.
Choose Argentina. 🇦🇷

Why we are contractually obliged to support Argentina this Wednesday 🇦🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’ve prepared this official guide so every Scot understands why Argentina’s footballing success is, in several important ways, partly our fault.

Failure to comply would be disrespectful to 130 years of very selective history.

38 years ago tonight, 167 men died in the Piper Alpha disaster.

Only 61 survived.

It remains the world's worst offshore oil and gas disaster, and one of the darkest nights in modern Scottish history.

Tonight we remember the men who never came home, the families left behind, and the rescuers who risked everything trying to save others.

Scotland remembers 💙

The Tartan Army doing what they do best in Miami tonight 💙

The Tartan Army have arrived in Miami 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

[Scottish Banter @1scottishbanter]

A city worker cleaning up after a Tartan Army party said around 2,000 fans had been drinking and having fun... but left the area so clean he didn't even need help tidying up.

Party hard. Bring the atmosphere. Make pals with the locals. Leave no mess behind 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

According to reports, bars and liquor stores across Boston have been running out of beer after the Tartan Army arrived for the World Cup with bars saying they had "never seen anything like it."

No Scotland, no party 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍻

Introducing the Scottish-American travel dictionary 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’ve put together this guide to keep the Tartan Army out of trouble in the States.

Read carefully to avoid confusing the locals, deeply offending the country, or being interrogated by Homeland Security over a sandwich.

Proud to see the country rally round one of its own. 💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It shows just how switched on this country is when it comes to Tourette’s, and that’s near enough entirely down to John himself.
