TOKYO (Reuters) - As Tokyo braces for the arrival of Typhoon Hagibis, Scotland fans are no longer laughing at its revised appellation of "Haggis" as they hope it moves on quickly enough for their crucial World Cup pool game against Japan to go ahead on Sunday.

Two matches that had been scheduled for Saturday have already been cancelled, with the typhoon threatening to unleash record-level rainfall and winds.
