Disaster Index: 3.1 Entry: Diplomatic Footprint, Boston Cause: Scotland supporters conducting sustained, unsolicited public relations operations in the host city at a scale that has now attracted mayoral attention. Category: Administrative / Emotional Evidence: A Tartan Army representative was present at a formal city hall event hosted by Mayor Michelle Wu. A kilt was worn. A T-shirt was read aloud by local broadcast television. Police purchased food for supporters. None of this was planned by the SFA. Historical precedent: Scotland fans have performed this function at every major tournament since 1992. The operation runs without a budget, a brief, or a designated press officer. Affected parties: Boston municipal government; local broadcast media; the wider concept of official diplomatic channels. Immediate outlook: The city is charmed. The match against Morocco remains unplayed. These two facts are not yet in conflict. Filed: 19 June 2026 / Group Stage, pre-Morocco
