After 36 years of waiting and 28 years away from the tournament entirely, Scotland stepped onto a World Cup stage in Boston and did something their nation had not done since the summer of 1990: they won. John McGinn's deflected strike against Haiti — a team whose very presence in the competition represents a triumph over extraordinary national hardship — placed Scotland atop Group C and opened a door that has never before swung fully open for them. In sport, as in life, the first step toward the impossible is simply surviving long enough to take it.
