Why does Scotland's McGinn do goggles celebration?published at 17:15 BST 18 June
Scotland v Morocco (Fri, 23:00 BST)
Media caption, 'Off and running' - McGinn gives Scotland lead against Haiti
When John McGinn scored Scotland's first men's World Cup goal in 28 years in the 1-0 win over Haiti, the Aston Villa midfielder celebrated in customary fashion.
Mimicking goggles with his hands turned upside down, the toast of the Tartan Army is raising awareness for his nephew Jack, who needs goggles to play football because of his poor eyesight.
The 31-year-old does not want any kids in Scotland - or indeed anywhere - to be put off being themselves, hence his iconic celebration.
"It was for the last major tournament when I didn't score," McGinn told ITV Sport, when asked for the meaning behind the goggles.
"It was at the time where Jack was having serious discussions about his eyesight. It's probably as strong a lens as you can get for a child. When he takes his glasses off, you can see how much he struggles.
"But it's not just the reaction from him, and allowing him to be more comfortable playing football with his pals. It's the awareness for young kids all around Scotland, all around the world."
McGinn, 31, says he harbours regrets about sometimes teasing other kids in his own youth for wearing glasses, now that he appreciates how challenging it can be.
And he also told how parents have got in touch with him about the positive impact it has made on their children's lives.

Are Scotland more rested than opponents?published at 17:03 BST 18 June
Scotland v Morocco (Fri, 23:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesAfter a long club season, residual fatigue is a factor at any tournament, but particularly one played in roasting temperatures like this World Cup.
That is where Scotland might have an advantage over their upcoming opponents Brazil and Morocco. Looking at the starting XIs from the opening games in Group C shows the Scottish team have fewer miles on the clock in the last year.
Only Scott McTominay, John McGinn and Lewis Ferguson had hit 50 games before the World Cup started (all 53), while Morocco had six different players in their team against Brazil who did so.
Brazil also had three players on at least 50 games, but their starting side had played a total of 475 games last term, compared to Scotland's 410.
There is a fine line between being fresh and being undercooked, though.
Ben Gannon-Doak shone for Scotland in their win against Haiti, but had to be replaced on 75 minutes because of his "calves leaving the stadium" before he did.
That might be a result of the winger's limited game time this season, having missed most of Bournemouth's campaign through injury.

BBC Sport Scotland in BostonIt's been scorching in Boston for the last eight days, but less so today.
We parked the car outside the ground 10 minutes ago and nearly got blown into the New England Patriots' training pitch on the way in.
A bit more of a scenic route to the press room today rather than through the bowls of the place, we got to see some shiny Super Bowl rings along the corridors of power here. No Texaco Cup, though.

Thomas Frank
Former Tottenham manager on BBC Radio 5 LiveI thought he was good, John McGinn. Very important player. Fantastic player. I think he has been really really good for Aston Villa for many seasons.
It seems like, can you get something better but every single time he is out of your team, you're missing him. That's a good, healthy sign

How's the weather looking?published at 15:12 BST 18 June
Ben Rich
Lead Weather PresenterThe weather is looking very mixed across today’s fixtures in Canada, Mexico and the USA.
The worst of the conditions are likely to be in Atlanta for Czechia v South Africa, where there is a chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms, with gusty winds and even the low risk of a tornado. It will be humid with temperatures around 29C. However the Atlanta Stadium has a retractable roof – which could be its saving grace today!
Things look a lot calmer in Los Angeles for Switzerland v Bosnia-Herzegovina, where morning cloud will break to leave sunny spells. It shouldn’t be too hot for the players, at around 22C.
Prospects in Vancouver should also be decent with sunny conditions in the forecast for Canada v Qatar and highs of 25C.
It may not be quite such plain sailing for the evening kick off in Guadalajara. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms are typical in Mexico at this time of year, and that’s exactly what we’re going to see.
However, the chance of showers decreases during the evening so it is possible that it might be dry for Mexico v South Korea.
What's happening tonight?published at 15:09 BST 18 June
World Cup action continues shortly with four fixtures taking us through to the early hours of Friday morning.
Czech Republic and South Africa get things under way at 17:00 BST, with both sides looking to secure their first points of this World Cup, and you can catch all the action live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Over on ITV, Switzerland face Bosnia and Herzegovina at 20:00 followed by co-hosts Canada taking on Qatar at 23:00.
Mexico then meet South Korea at 02:00 on BBC One with both teams hoping to build on their opening wins.
We will have live text commentary of all four matches on the BBC Sport website and app, while every game will also be on BBC Radio 5 Live.
