Less World Cup and more FA Cup, the fixture between Germany and Curacao has the makings of an upset. Albeit, on paper at least.

Germany start the day 10th in Fifa's world rankings, 72 places above World Cup debutants Curacao.

Haiti and New Zealand are the only World Cup nations below Curacao in the rankings.

As well as being one of the best nations in world football, Germany are also one of the most successful teams in World Cup history. Not many nations could have been a tough first test for Curacao, nor will there be many fixtures that have a bigger gap in the world rankings.

But as we've already seen at this World Cup, never say never. Curacao have been dancing their way to this tournament in recent weeks, but will they still be as jovial at full-time this evening?

We're yet to have a major upset after eight games of this World Cup - Morocco have probably come closest by holding five-time champions Brazil to a draw.

Will we get one today?

Only one European nation - Scotland - has picked up a win so far. Anything but a win for Germany against Curacao would be a huge shock, right?

Get in touch and let us know if you think we could see one of the big nations slip up.

Now it's time to look at what's on the agenda over the next 24 hours.

If you're not up on your flag game then I'll take you through the upcoming fixtures.

There's a double-header in Texas with Germany taking on Curacao (18:00 BST) and Netherlands facing Japan (21:00).

At midnight, Ivory Coast take on Ecuador in Pennsylvania.

And for you early risers it's Sweden v Tunisia in Guadalupe, Mexico at 03:00.

We've spent a lot of time looking at Scotland this morning - and rightly so - after their first World Cup win in 26 years!

As Amy says, there are possibly "a few sore heids bobbing around" this morning.

Nothing a fine rendition of Flower of Scotland won't sort, though!

The sun is rising in Boston and still punters are strolling the streets and heading for their hotels the morning after the night before.

These nights don’t come around often for Scots, so they’ve got to savour it while they can.

A few sore heids bobbing around I imagine…

Opta have updated their predictions for Scotland's World Cup campaign after Steve Clarke's side went top of Group C with a win over Haiti last night.

According to Opta, it is very likely that Scotland will advance to their first ever World Cup knockout stage.

Their chance of winning that historic first knockout game and reaching the last 16? 29.06%.

Then what about the rest of the tournament? Here's what Opta thinks:

Quarter-final: 10.25%

Semi-final: 3.12%

Final: 1.04%

Champions? 0.3%

The post-match ‘special’ mixed zone looked like something out of Madame Tussauds.

Tbf, Mr Meatball McGinn deserves a statue.

On Steve Clarke saying it was a hard decision to start with John McGinn over Ryan Christie:

It was the right call because I think [Ben] Gannon-Doak was the best player last night. It worked moving John to the left and having Lewis Ferguson and Scott McTominay in the middle.

When you do that you become a bit lightweight in the middle of the pitch, so I don't think he will do that against Morocco.

There was a discussion before Scotland's match against Haiti about whether manager Steve Clarke might start Ryan Christie over John McGinn.

Christie put in an eye-catching performance in their warm-up friendly win over Bolivia.

Yet McGinn is on something of a roll at the moment, as sport writer Barney Ronay noted on X, external: "John McGinn’s last five games: beat Liverpool, beat Man City, win the Europa League, beat Bolivia 4-0, score at the World Cup. No-one has had this much fun in the last month."

Scot Kevin Donnelly spoke to 5 Live Breakfast from outside Boston Stadium, hours after watching friend John McGinn score the only goal of their 1-0 win over Haiti:

"The best result of the night would have been if the [taxi] driver had turned up, I'm still outside the stadium trying to get home.

"But I'm absolutely delighted [about the game]. I've known John McGinn since he was a baby - his father is a close friend. The last couple of months for the guy [who helped Aston Villa win the Europa League] have been absolutely superlative.

"He works incredibly hard, he trains hard, he's got a fantastic attitude and for him to get the winning goal and man of the match just made my evening."

Kevin is fully invested in Scotland's World Cup bid, telling 5 Live Breakfast that he has tickets right the way up to the final!

John [McGinn] along with Andy [Robertson] and Scott McTominay - all those guys who have carried the can for so many years deserve so much credit.

With John's goal, he's hit it into the ground, hasn't he? If he hits it clean I don't think it goes in but he's put it into the ground and it's got the deflection. It doesn't matter how you score.

He's been a big, big player for Scotland.

Scotland still have to face Morocco and Brazil - two sides with the potential to go far at the World Cup - on Friday 19 June and Wednesday 24 June respectively.

Steve Clarke and his side know they will need to improve, but match-winner John McGinn says they will relish the victory over Haiti on their return to football's biggest stage.

"We've been through a lot of hurt as a country," McGinn said.

"A generation of supporters haven't seen this. But the pride on my face this morning seeing all the kids going to the parks in a Scotland kit and painting their faces.

"Hopefully when kids get up tomorrow they'll be beaming with pride because I am. It sets things up for Friday [against Morocco]."

John McGinn's first-half goal sealed victory for Scotland in their World Cup opener in Boston - their first victory in the tournament since 1990.

BBC Sport Scotland's Andy Burke assessed how the players performed – and you can see how BBC Sport readers rated them at the bottom of the page too.

McGinn, unsurprisingly, achieved one of the highest ratings for his match-winning performance, but he was pipped to top spot.

It is estimated that up to 30,000 Scotland fans have travelled to Boston for the World Cup.

They included Amy Devine, 30, from Pollokshields in Glasgow, who was among the thousands who watched the Haiti match at a fan zone.

"I'm so emotional, I've cried about 10 times today,” she said.

"My husband is at the game and he's sent me photos of him crying too."

Amy is staying with her friend Izzie Schmaltz, 27, who is from Boston but used to live in Glasgow.

“We've basically won the World Cup now, right? We're top of the group," said Izzie.

"It's an amazing atmosphere, it's like being back in Glasgow. Look around you, it's like a Saturday night in Glasgow."

After 28 years of watching World Cups from football's wilderness, there was never much danger of the Tartan Army getting antsy about the gridlock on the road to Foxborough.

On the contrary, in the hours leading up to what turned into a surreally stressful evening as Scotland ground their way to a 1-0 win over Haiti, fans revelled in the traffic delays, inch by inch, yard by yard.

Oblivious to the anxiety they were going to experience later on, a convoy of yellow school buses stuttered their way down the I-95 four hours before kick-off and Scots hung out the windows of every one of them, singing their songs, waving their flags, partying at a pace of a mile an hour.

The sense of anticipation and joy was so palpable you could have reached out and touched it. These Scotland supporters are remarkable. Vast waves of them. Clusters on every street corner in Boston. An occupying army.

Seven minutes before 9pm local time, Scotland entered the most extraordinary arena, the Boston Stadium. A riot of colour and noise, a football stadium, yes, but a theatre, too. A place for gladiators.

If you have to miss out on World Cups for nearly 30 years then this was the way to mark your return.

Giant screens behind both goals picking out every human emotion among the fans. Shivers up the spine, heart beating out the chest, Flower of Scotland belted out with gusto, its power almost greater on a foreign field than it is at home.

The scene was an antidote to all that is wrong in world football; the rampant greed, the unrelenting bombast. This was raw, powerful and emotional.
