Scotland assistant coach Steven Naismith: "The biggest learning is the surroundings that's the positive of having two games in the same city and the same stadium.

"Good connection between the fans and the players, pitch was good. We knew the fans would be there in their numbers. It's about harnessing that. There was a nervous energy for the first game but we stood up to the challenge.

"It wasn't our best performance, Bolivia the week before was better but one game, one win."

On Friday's opponents Morocco: "Each opposition have different threats. Haiti on the counter-attack are lightning quick. We were defensively solid.

"Morocco have athletic and intelligent players. We probably need to control the opening stages better - that's down to the opposition and the heat.

"The game plan will be different, but we will be ready come Friday."

In a right good mood today, Steven Naismith.

I wonder why...

Scotland

On whether he has seen social media videos of the Tartan Army, Steven Naismith said: "We've seen first hand how amazing a country we are.

"That's been a big change, we've embraced that we want to be part of that experience.

"The connection has been as good as it's been. The last few days in Boston have been brilliant.

"The locals only have good things to say about us, and long may it continue."

Scotland assistant Steven Naismith on whether it matters about how the results are achieved: "Strip football back and it is about winning, simple as that.

"When you have a successful group, they demand more, they demand a performance, the demands are within.

"Do we want to play the most enjoyable football we can? Of course, everyone does. But the first, second and third games are all going to be totally different."

On Steve Clarke, Naismith said: "Steve keeps everyone on their toes inside the camp. He's demanding.

"I think our process has been excellent, the manager realises how big his mood will effect everyone else."

BBC Sport Scotland at Fenway Park

It's hard to describe the night Scotland fans experienced on Sunday at Fenway Park.

A "Scottish celebration" evening took place where easily 10,000 Tartan Army fans flocked to baseball's old lady.

There was singing, dancing in the aisles, and just an incredible experience.

The fact 99% of them had zero clue what was going on, ach that's not important.

It's fair to say that Scotland fans are having a party.

After watching their men's side win their first World Cup match in 36 years, with a 1-0 victory over Haiti, some of the fans decided to travel to Fenway in the summer sunshine for a 'Scottish Celebration' night as the Red Sox took on the Rangers.

Ending a 28-year absence on the world's biggest stage is certainly something to celebrate.

Have a look at the video below.

While many Scots were having fun at Fenway last night, some of us - and more importantly the squad - headed back down to Charlotte to Scotland’s base camp.

We’ve just arrived at the home of Charlotte FC and we’re preparing to hear from assistant coach Steven Naismith and winger Ben Gannon-Doak.

Scotland's World Cup adventure is underway, with their next game coming against Morocco on Friday.

The Scots sit top of Group C with three points after beating Haiti and are the only team to earn maximum points from the first round of fixtures.

Assistant boss Steven Naismith and Ben Gannon-Doak are speaking to the media shortly at 15:00 BST, and you can watch that news conference at the top of this page and follow our live text.

Jim, Kent: Actually BBC, they do now have a player from Real Madrid as Cucurella just joined!

You are right Jim! More news on that move here...

Pictures of Barcelona and Spain striker Lamine Yamal have been posted on FOX, external after he was spotted food shopping in Walmart in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.

The teenager was not being bothered by anyone and looked like any other local shopper.

"The USA is a very interesting place. If you're in New York, then there's enough football fans for you to not really be able to walk the streets," said Nedum Onuoha on BBC Radio 5 Live. "But Lamine Yamal was in Walmart and nobody was stopping him!"

That got us thinking ... have you spotted any footballers in supermarkets before, or out of context in everyday places?

Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha has also been speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live this lunchtime about why he loves the World Cup: "I love World Cups and getting the opportunity to watch football. It is always very different on the field and off the field.

"But when you see players score, like Raul Jimenez on day one, with the emotion of losing his father and the emotion of representing his nation, you see everyone connected.

"There's a bunch of players on the field, who even though they are professionals, they feel like amateurs."

As a reminder, this was Thomas Tuchel's starting XI for England's friendly against Costa Rica last Wednesday.

Would you be happy to see this side start against Croatia? Thumbs up for yes, down for no...

England XI: Pickford, Konsa, O'Reilly, Rice, Stones, Anderson, Kane, Bellingham, Gordon, Madueke, James.

Subs: Guehi, Saka, Rashford, Livramento, D Henderson, J Henderson, Burn, Mainoo, Rogers, Watkins, Eze, Toney, Trafford, Spence, Quansah.

BBC Sport's senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live from Kansas City where England are based: "I had a little stroll last night and World Cup fever is starting to grip the city. Holland and Argentina are based here too, so there's a lot of Messi shirts.

"England's first training session on Saturday was a community event where a lot of kids and local residents were invited.

"The information we have going into the game is that the team Thomas Tuchel selects for the game against Croatia will be the team he started against Costa Rica. Obviously, there is time for that to change.

"The key issue is whether Bukayo Saka can prove his fitness. He's got Achilles tendinitis and it is a difficult injury to shake off. It's a constant niggle so I fear Saka will have to be managed through the tournament.

"From the information we have, if he was to start a game then he couldn't finish it, which makes me think whether he is more of an option coming off the bench."

Scotland

Right, that is all the info you need before tonight's World Cup games, but we still have plenty to bring you this afternoon.

We have a Scotland news conference to bring you from 15:00 BST.

Before that, we have a few bits from the England camp and news of a sighting of Spain star Lamine Yamal out shopping...

Right back Tim Payne experienced social media fame when an Argentine influencer decided he was the least-known footballer at this World Cup, and urged people to give him support. Within days Payne's Instagram account had five million followers.

Chris Wood has a mere 163k followers but is their record scorer and a threat to any defence. The Nottingham Forest striker had knee surgery in December and his fitness will be managed carefully.

Wide midfielder Elijah Just lit up the Scottish Premiership this season with Motherwell and was shortlisted for PFA Scotland's Premiership Player of the Year award. His form has led to transfer rumours but he says he won't be distracted by 'outside noise'.
