Disaster Index: 3.1 Entry: Conduct Becoming Cause: Scotland's elimination being succeeded by international coverage of how well the supporters behaved. Category: Emotional / Historical Evidence: The Tartan Army's conduct across Boston and Miami is being formally noted by BBC Sport Scotland. The fans travelled in numbers sufficient to attract record. The football did not travel as far. Historical precedent: Scotland supporters have previously received more favourable press for behaviour in defeat than most nations receive for behaviour in victory. The pattern holds. Affected parties: The Tartan Army; Scottish football's self-understanding; anyone who has tried to explain this particular quality to someone who wasn't there. Immediate outlook: The warmth is genuine. It is also not the same as qualification. The Index files both without confusion. Filed: 28 June 2026 / post-elimination
