Summary
Scotland might not make it out of their group, but their fans, the Tartan Army might win the tournament. With their mix of kilts, plaid, bagpipes, sinaglongs, beers, and witches hats the Scottish supporters have been the universal hit of the tournament. We speak with their captain live from Miami. PLUS, we go inside the cult of Lionel Messi with Amanda Shalala as she and the Argentine faithful witness more history in Dallas. Featured: Hamish Husband, Tartan Army Captain. Amanda Shalala, reporter, ABC Sport.
