"
Scotland's World Cup hopes are hanging by a thread. A 3-0 defeat by Brazil wasn't an embarrassment but it was a goal more than they would've ideally wanted to keep realistic hopes of qualifying alive. Brazil probably had another gear or two if needed whereas Scotland were stretching every sinew to breaking point.
