🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Tartan Army Has Taken Over South Florida - And Mickey Byrne's in Hollywood Is Their Home Base Tonight

Thousands of Scottish fans have descended on South Florida ahead of tonight's Scotland vs Brazil match at Hard Rock Stadium - and Hollywood is right at the center of it all. The Tartan Army has filled bars across Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood with chants of "No Scotland, no party!" ringing through the streets. Tonight the action centers on Mickey Byrne's Irish Pub at 1921 Hollywood Boulevard, where Scottish musician Ciaran Whyte will be performing live. Miramar resident David Steedman - who moved from Scotland to South Florida in the 1990s and has been organizing the Tartan Army's South Florida experience for months - told Miramar News he'll be right there. "If we beat Brazil? Oh my God. You ain't seen nothing. It's gonna go wild." Local businesses are scrambling to keep up - the Jungle Queen had 600 extra cases of beer delivered and reported sold-out cruises. Scotland plays Brazil tonight at 6 PM at Hard Rock Stadium - just 15 minutes from Hollywood. Whether you're Scottish, Brazilian or just love a great atmosphere - Mickey Byrne's is THE place to be tonight.
