THOUSANDS of Scots swarmed the famous Miami Beach of Tuesday as they continue the Tartan Army's World Cup party that started in Boston.
On Tuesday afternoon, legions of Scots met at Ocean Drive in the city’s South Beach region, marching from 14th Street at Lummus Park to the beach.
Despite the two teams set to clash on Wednesday, videos posted on social media showed Tartan Army fans partying with their Brazilian counterparts while parading through the city.
Some Scotland fans donned Brazil jerseys paired with their kilts, and some Brazil fans in turn did the same.
Vehicles from the Miami fire department appeared with the crowd with open rooftops, offering the Tartan Army the chance to hop on board where they waved Saltires and shouted in support of "super John McGinn".

On Tuesday the city of Miami gave fans the "green light" to continue their signature cone antics in the Louisiana city, with videos showing statues along the beach front quickly being given a cone hat by passing fans.
Local police posed for photos with the army of fans, while professional wrestler Luke Scouler, originally from Bellshill but now living in Kentucky, was spotted taking part in the march.
The 34-year-old who operates under the name Crixus said: “It’s been minted, man. I’m actually disappointed more folk don’t have their faces painted.
“I thought everyone was gonna turn up like this, yet I’m the only one looking like a you-know-what, but you just need to enjoy it!
“It’s indescribable, to be honest. I already knew this will be once in a lifetime.
“I get a wee bit homesick a lot of the time as well, so having everybody here is minted.
“I dread the first English guy to pass us by!”
He joked: “If we don’t win the game tomorrow, we’ll win the fight after it!”

John O’Neill, 56, from Saltcoats, Ayrshire, is in the United States with his cousins, and says he was “hanging off the fire engine like an idiot”.
Commenting on the march, he said: “It was brilliant, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I’ve lost my cousins though, so I’ll catch up with them later.
“Seeing hundreds of people all happy, all from different nations, with a love for Scotland, a love for football, it’s not something that you see every day, but it’s amazing how football can bring the world together.”
Matt Kyle, from Glasgow and Ross Kennedy, from Jordanhill, both commented on the love between Scotland and Brazil fans.
Kyle, 46, said: “It’s always good, I was at the World Cup in 1998, and I remember the Brazil fans were the friendliest fans I’ve ever met, it was absolutely brilliant.
“I’m quite excited to see that again.”
Kennedy, 48, added: “We were coming in hot; we had a fairly heavy night last night.
“The march was fantastic, great to see all the Scotland fans and the Brazil fans. We need to get in with the Brazil chants as well, and show some support for Brazil as well.”
Despite a tight 1-0 loss to Morocco in their second match, Scotland are on three points and third in the group, with the result of Wednesday's clash against Brazil likely to determine where Steve Clarke's side ends up in the table.
A draw or victory would more than likely seal progression, while even a loss could secure a third place playoff spot depending on results elsewhere.
