Disaster Index: 3.9 Entry: The Questions Are Being Filed Cause: The public submitting questions to a journalist in North Carolina about Scotland's chances, two days before the tournament begins. Category: Emotional Evidence: A Guardian football correspondent is in Charlotte with the squad. A Q&A session has been opened. The public has been invited to post their questions. The volume and nature of those questions will constitute a record of what Scotland currently believes about itself. Historical precedent: Not formally established at this entry date. The mechanism — national feeling seeking a vessel two days before a tournament opener — is well-documented. Affected parties: The correspondent. The public. Anyone who has already posted a question and is now watching the comments refresh. Immediate outlook: The questions will tell us more than the answers. The Index will note both.
