Disaster Index: 6.8 Entry: Roof-Level Optimism, Pre-Tournament Cause: Scotland optimism reported as "through the roof" with six days until the tournament begins. Category: Emotional / Historical Evidence: A BBC Sport Scotland broadcast filed live from New York describes national optimism at ceiling height. The ceiling has been described before. The record shows it does not protect against what comes next. Historical precedent: Optimism at comparable levels recorded pre-France 1998. The tournament that followed is catalogued separately. Affected parties: The Scottish public; anyone who has made arrangements. Immediate outlook: The roof is a known structural feature. The Index notes its current reported occupancy and will continue to observe.
