Scotland's World Cup hopes hang in the balance after a 3-0 defeat to Brazil in their final group game. The loss leaves Scotland third in the group, but they still have a chance to progress to the knockout stages as one of the best third-place finishers.
The Tartan Army now face a nervy wait as the rest of the final group games play out. Having shipped three goals against Brazil, Scotland sit sixth in the mini league of third-place teams with a goal difference of -3. The top eight third-place finishers will progress to the knockout stages out of 12.
Scotland's chances of progressing from the group stage have taken a hit, from 84 per cent before the game to 42 per cent after the three-goal defeat. If they do scrape through, they could face the group winner from Groups A, E, and I, with the possibility of playing against Mexico, Germany, or France.
The exact date and opponent for Scotland's potential Round of 32 match will depend on the outcome of the remaining group games. They could face a Group E winner on Monday, June 29 in Boston, a Group I winner on Tuesday, June 30 in New Jersey, or a Group A winner on Wednesday, July 1 in Mexico City.
