McGinn says Scotland's World Cup hopes likely end after Brazil loss

Summary

John McGinn stated that Scotland's World Cup campaign is likely over following a 3-0 defeat to Brazil in their final group match on June 25, 2026. Scotland started poorly, conceding an early goal after a mistake by Scott McKenna. Vinicius Junior scored twice and Matheus Cunha added another for Brazil. With only three points and a negative goal difference, Scotland's hopes of advancing as a third-place team appear slim. McGinn acknowledged their mistakes against a higher-quality opponent but remains hopeful for a potential qualification path, despite the team's disappointment.
