World Cup LIVE: Scotland need huge help after Brazil thumping as Steve Clarke storms off

We have two more blockbuster World Cup matches to end the action tonight, as Group A concludes.

Mexico take on Czechia, who need a win to secure qualification for the Round of 32, while South Korea and South Africa go head-to-head in the other game in the group.

Both kick-off at 2am and are about to get underway...

John McGinn has admitted the Scotland players are "gutted" as their World Cup qualification hopes took a massive dent following a 3-0 defeat to Brazil.

McGinn told the BBC: "We've just got to wait now... but you can see the guys are gutted. We gave it absolutely everything, the lads are absolutely empty now... We'll have to see over the next few days. It's unlikely now, but we'll have to see."

Steve Clarke stormed out of his BBC post-match interview following Scotland's 3-0 defeat to Brazil.

The Tartan Army were thrashed at the Miami Stadium to leave their World Cup qualification hopes in tatters, with Vinicius Jr scoring twice and Matheus Cunha adding the other for Brazil.

With Morocco beating Haiti 4-2 in the other final Group C game, Scotland have finished third on three points with a minus three goal difference.

While the Tartan Army currently sit inside the best eight third-place teams, they might drop out before the end of the group stage depending on other results.

And when asked about the prospect of waiting to find out their fate, Clarke stormed out of his post-match interview with the BBC and walked away.

"I don't even think about that," Clarke concluded.

England and Scotland's opponents in the first knockout round of the World Cup have become much clearer after Steve Clarke's side lost 3-0 to Brazil on Thursday morning. As things stands, the Three Lions would face Algeria on July 1 at 5pm, while the Tartan Army would take on co-hosts Mexico on the same day at 2am.

Thomas Tuchel's were forced to settle for a point in a goalless draw with Ghana in Boston on Tuesday night, a result which leaves them still at the top of the Group L standings.

For Scotland, their chances of qualifying were handed a major blow after their 3-0 defeat to Brazil in their Group C clash in Miami on Wednesday night. Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. scored a brace in Florida, while Manchester United star Matheus Cunha also found the back of the net.

The defeat leaves Scotland in third place in their group and currently ranked as the sixth-best third-placed team in the World Cup groups so far, but that is likely to change with several more final group games left to play.

Read the full story here.

That is it at the Miami Stadium and Brazil have ran out 3-0 winners against Scotland. Vinicius Jr's first-half brace was added to by Matheus Cunha on the hour mark.

With Morocco only beating Haiti 4-2 in the other Group C game, Brazil have secured top spot with Scotland finishing in third and currently still in one of those best third-place positions.

For now, it's a waiting game for Steve Clarke's side in their quest to qualify for the Round of 32 - and it's certain they'll need results to go their way across the next few days.

Game, set and match over in Atlanta as Morocco all-but seal the win against Haiti.

Gessime Yassine has Morocco's fourth goal to put them in a commanding position, though they still need to score three more to top the group ahead of Brazil.

Scotland's hopes of qualifying for the Round of 32 via one of the eight best third-place teams are fading by every goal Brazil score, but, as it stands, Tartan Army are going through.

With three points and a -3 goal difference, Scotland are currently the sixth-best third-place team and would face Mexico in the next round, should they remain in that position.

Now then, how that could change things...

Morocco have turned it around against Haiti and are 3-2 up with Soufiane Rahimi the goalscorer.

It means Morocco are level on points with Brazil at the top of Group C, but the South American nation have a four-goal superior goal difference at this stage.

In the other game in Group C, Morocco are still drawing 2-2 against Haiti and, as things stand, would finish second behind Brazil on five points from their three matches.

Even if Morocco go in front against Haiti, it's likely they'll need at least a couple more to overtake Brazil and secure top spot in the spot.

What a stunning goal that is and Brazil are 3-0 up here against Scotland.

It's Matheus Cunha who is the goalscorer, as Bruno Guimaraes is fed on the edge of the box and he slides the ball into the Manchester United man who beats Angus Gunn at his near post.

Surely game over now?!

It should be 3-0 to Brazil and Vinicius Jr should have his hat-trick...

Despite a positive start to the second half from Scotland, one pass cut them open as Vinicius ran through on goal but the Real Madrid man was unable to beat Angus Gunn as his shot was well saved.

At the other end, Scott McTominay went close but his header was kept out by Alisson Becker.

We are back underway at the Miami Stadium!

Scotland have made one substituion at half-time with Andy Robertson coming off and Kieran Tierney replacing him. Brazil, meanwhile, have kept the same XI that put them two up at the break.

Former referee Darren Cann felt Scotland were lucky that VAR intervened to disallow Vini Jr's goal. Speaking to the BBC he said: "I think Scotland are a little fortunate to be honest.

"There is a little contact before the ball is played but I don't really feel that it's a foul by Vini Jr, he's just holding his ground and the defender just kicks into him. I think it's one Scotland will be decided with but they are a little fortunate to get the decision."

However, former Scotland international James McFadden disagreed. He said: "He has [been fouled]. He has. Absolutely [a bullet dodged]. He just catches him on the right leg as he's going to play the ball, gets his foot in front of where Jack Hendry's playing it."

Asked if he then agreed with Cann, McFadden said: "No I don't, I think it's a foul. Whether it's a slight contact or not, it's a foul. When you see it back, clearly he's caught as he's in the action of kicking the ball which is enough to stop him playing the ball. He's impeded.

"It's a let-off and just another warning to say, at times, Brazil look like they don't want to go and press until they decide they do and they go and force them mistakes and capitalise.

"It's a foul for me, he catches him and it's the correct decision. It's about time Scotland got a decision here."

That should have been 3-0 before the break. A brilliant first touch from Rayan, who plucks the ball out of the sky on the edge of the area.

He sends Andy Robertson to the shops, is baring down on goal but Gunn pulls of a great save one-on-one. It goes for a corner and Scotland clear their lines.

The referee blows the half-time whistle and the Tartan Army are hanging in.

This time it's going to count! Brazil win the ball back high and Bruno Guimaraes puts the ball on a plate for Vini Jr to head into an empty net at the far post.

Angu Gunn tried to come for the cross but got it all wrong.

Vini Jr has had the ball in the net three times and has been the best player on the pitch. Scotland can't live with him.

The Morocco result is a real boost for Scotland, not because they can finish above them, but it's proof the underdog can spring a surprise.

They've struggled in the final third against Brazil and have managed just three shots - none of those on target.

Brazil on the otherhand, have had eight shots and two on target.

WOW! Wilson Isidor goes straight up the other end and scores for Haiti!

Jean-Kevin Duverne wins the ball back high up the pitch and rolls the ball to the Sunderland man 20-yards out.

He takes a touch and rifles the ball into the back of the net. That was brilliant.

It's been coming! Morocco have their equaliser through captain Achraf Hakimi.

Haiti goalkeeper Placide parries a deflected cross straight onto the goal line and the Morocco full-back bundles the ball over the line.

Well. There's a lifeline for Scotland!

Vini Jr is adjudged to have fouled Hendry in the build-up to the goal. There was slight contact before the ball was played but it didn't look like a foul.

Still Scotland 0-1 Brazil.

What are Scotland doing? That's another absolute gift for Brazil.

Hendry dawdles on the ball and Vinicius Junior robs the ball from the Scotland defender. He races through on goal and slots the ball under Gunn.

He gets his second of the night and his fourth of the tournament. VAR are going to have a look!

Scotland just can't seem to get going after gifting Brazil the lead. Vinicius Junior looks really up for this.

He's opened the scoring and just flashed an effort wide of the post. Here's how things stand at present after Haiti's goal...

Well, the cat is amongst the pigeons now. Lenny Joseph has scored for Haiti against Morocco in a real surprise start to the game.

Morocco are the favourites to win that one. Haiti can't finish any higher than fourth, despite currently being ahead. That's due to Scotland having a better head-to-head record.

Oh dear, oh dear...

It's a gift to Vini Jr from Scott McKenna, who is dispossessed by Rayan as he tried to play out from the back. The Brazil winger simply rounds Angus Gunn and passes into the back of an empty net.

Scotland 0-1 Brazil

And we're off at the Miami Stadium!

While Brazil will be acclimated to higher temperatures, take a moment to feel for the Scots in Miami this evening. It's 31 degrees celsius as kick-off approaches!

I don't think anyone on Steve Clarke's team will be complaining about a hydration break this evening...

Who are you fancying to win Scotland's clash with Brazil?

Let us know in the comments.

As things stand, Scotland are in third place in the group on three points and still in with a chance of reaching the knockout stages of the World Cup.

They're one of the tournament's best third-placed teams ahead of kick-off, but that could change with a heavy defeat tonight.

Although all eyes are on Scotland vs Brazil, there's another game on tonight in Group C. Morocco take on Haiti in Atlanta.

Morocco starting XI: Bounou, Salah-Eddine, Riad, Halhal, Hakimi, Amrabat, El Aynaoui, Diaz, Saibari, El Khannouss, El Kaabo.

Haiti XI: Placide, Duverne, Ade, Delcroix, Experience, Providence, Bellegarde, Jacques, Casimir, Isidor, Joseph.

It's a big game tonight for Scotland. The Tartan Army have travelled in their thousands and Steve Clarke has named his team to face Brazil.

Carlo Ancelotti has named a strong starting XI for Brazil There's some familiar faces in there too; Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes, Vini Jr and Matheus Cunha all start.

It's all over in Group B. Switzerland defeated Canada 2-1, and they'll top the group with goals from Ruben Vargas and Johan Manzambi putting them two goals to the good. Promise David came off the bench to reduce the deficit, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback.

Bosnia has beaten Qatar 3-1. Goals from Kerim Alajbegovic, Sultan Al Brake's own goal, and Ermin Mahmic. They finish third in the group and should book their place in the knockouts as one of the best third-placed teams.
