If Scotland make it through, there are three possible destinations.
A return to Boston to meet the Group E winners, likely to be Germany, on Monday, 29 June (21:30 BST).
A second route already has the opponent confirmed – Mexico in Mexico City at 02:00 BST on Wednesday, 1 July.
There is also a slim chance of face the winner of Group I, France or Norway, at the New York/New Jersey Stadium on Tuesday, 30 June (20:00 BST).
Dave Watson, who is a presenter on the No Scotland No Party podcast, had initially shown his ambition and booked a flight home after the final.
He told BBC Scotland his plan now is to go to New York on Thursday to hang about until Scotland’s fate is decided.
“My dad’s got a flight home on Friday,” Callum from Linwood told us, “He’s away back to work, but I chucked my job and sold my car to come here, so I’m not going home now. I’ll stay and see what happens.”
Spare a thought for Alan Horsburgh, who has a bundle of conundrums to work through.
“I am going from Orlando to Reykjavik then home to Copenhagen where I live.
“I have a five-hour bus journey from Miami up to Orlando tomorrow and on that five-hour bus journey I will be looking at the eight million different permutations to try to work out if we’re going to get through and where we might play.
“I would do one of two things which is decide to get my flight home and then go home or look at options to book for my wife to fly back out.
“I can get her with air miles some really cheap flights to Boston which would be absolutely perfect, not so perfect if we end up playing in Mexico City.”
Ian Greenwell from Bathgate said: “We’re home tomorrow but we’ll be keeping an eye on the scores. If we get through, we’ll be back.”
Leslie Higgins added: “We’ll be back home in Connecticut by Saturday but we’re lucky, we’re halfway.
“If we do get through, it’ll be very difficult not to fly out especially if it’s in Boston.
“Our whole family was in Boston, I don’t think we’d all be able to go back, the credit card had been crunched.”
