Scotland will soon miss the knockout stages of the World Cup 2026 after losing heavily at the hands of Brazil, 3-0, in Miami.
Scotland are on the brink of being eliminated from the 2026 World Cup after they lost to Brazil, 3-0, in the match held in Miami. The South American powerhouse was dominant from the start, causing the Tartan Army to fail to recover and accumulate the points needed to advance to the knockout stages. Despite the support of their supporters, Scotland were unable to form against Brazil's offensive strength and discipline.
