Excitement is building for Scotland fans in Boston ahead of the must-anticipated Morocco game.
The Boston fan zone was evacuated hours before kick-off because of high winds, and fans had to seek other venues for pre-match drinks and singing.
The Tartan Army was nevertheless excited to support the national team.
Friday’s match comes after a week in which Scotland fans have made the American city their second home.
Chants of “no Scotland, no party” could be heard through the streets on Thursday and into the early hours of Friday, as the Tartan Army prepared for the next match.
Steve Clarke’s men will take on Morocco on Friday night for the second group stage game, kicking off at 11pm UK time.
Patrick Ferry, 26, from Edinburgh, was among the fans enjoying the electric pre-game atmosphere in downtown Boston.
“We’re top of a World Cup group. We’re in a position we’ve never been, so we don’t have any expectations,” Mr Ferry said.
“We don’t have any pressure, we’ve just got to do our best and hope that maybe the football gods are in favour and that we do something that’s never been done before.”
Patric McAviney, 57, from Motherwell, was also among the fans.”It’s going to be close, but I’d like to see us get a 2-1 victory,” he said.
Shona McAviney, who was celebrating before the match with Mr McAviney, added: “I’m quite happy with a draw.”
Orange traffic cones have been seen on statues around the city since the Tartan Army came to town.
The traffic cone tradition is most associated with the statue of the Duke of Wellington outside the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow.
Since the late 1980s, a cone has been on the statue’s head and it has been persistently replaced whenever it is removed.
The Scots are at the World Cup for the first time in 28 years and began their campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Haiti at Boston Stadium in Foxborough on Saturday.
The Morocco clash is the last game Scotland play in Boston before heading to Miami to face Brazil on June 24.
A win against Morocco will ensure Scotland make it out of the group stage for the first time.
With a draw, the team is all but guaranteed to secure qualification.
Glen Reid, 49, from Aberdeenshire, was in Boston with a group of friends for the match. He predicted that the game would end with a 1-1 draw.
“If we turn up, get a draw, we’ll qualify,” he said.
Tracey McCallum and her son, Adam Sylvester, 21, of Paisley, both predicted 2-0 to Scotland.
Tartan Army fans have been eating, drinking and celebrating outside the Boston Stadium before the Morocco match in Foxborough on Friday.
Lots of fans are decked out in kilts and wearing blue and white Scotland shirts and hats.
Groups of Morocco fans draped in their nation’s colours and flag have been dancing and chanting outside the stadium as well.
The atmosphere is full of excitement and anticipation as cheers and chants catch and spread throughout the crowds.
