Scotland's World Cup Dream Hangs by a Thread After 3-0 Mauling by Brazil
Times of India·Thursday, 25 June 2026
Brazil beat Scotland 3-0 in Miami to finish top of Group C at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Vinícius Júnior scoring twice and Matheus Cunha adding a third. Scotland finished third in the group and must now wait and hope other results go their way to advance as one of the best third-placed teams. Head coach Steve Clarke said he suspects they are 'going home', while midfielder John McGinn called it 'unlikely' they would progress.
Why It Matters
Scotland reaching the World Cup knockout stage for the first time would be a historic moment — but it now depends entirely on other teams' results.
