Scotland have arrived at their World Cup base in Charlotte in North Carolina after their impressive 4-0 win over Bolivia in Saturday’s warm-up game. In fairness to the South Americans, the Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey is just 11 metres above sea level, whereas La Paz is 3,600 metres above sea level.

Here’s what Scotland manager Steve Clarke had to say about his stay so far in the States:

double quotation markEvery experience we’ve had, training camp in Inter Miami, playing a game in New York, it’s surreal really,” he told BBC Scotland. “I think the message to the lads is just to try and soak it all in, take it all in. Obviously, the message as the week goes on and it gets closer to the most competitive game will become more serious and more business, but just now it’s just about trying to enjoy it, trying to embrace it and I think we’re all doing that.

Well, me and some of the boys have been together now for seven years, so we’ve built a lot to get to this moment. To think of some of the low places that we have been and to be here at a World Cup with this group of players is just fantastic.”

And here’s what our reporter, Ewan Murray, had to say after that win over Bolivia.

Lance must be watching a different game to me with the query “who is the audience?”. “I’m watching from my apartment in San Francisco and can’t figure out why they started a game at midnight for most of the USA, Canada, and Mexico and 4am in Europe. Who’s watching this besides you in Australia? OTOH, the level of play deserves late night so maybe FIFA are geniuses.”
