'Not enough' — Robertson and Clarke admit Scotland 'probably going home'
Scotland were outclassed by Carlo Ancelotti’s side in Miami, suffering a demoralising 3-0 defeat in their final World Cup group match that leaves their hopes of reaching the knockout rounds hanging by the thinnest of threads. Steve Clarke conceded the World Cup dream is over, saying: "You give a team like Brazil the chances that we gave them in the game, you expect to get punished.
And that's what happened. I think we're probably going home." Errors at the back were punished, with Vinicius Junior scoring twice and Matheus Cunha also finding the net, leaving Scotland third with three points and a damaging goal difference. Captain Andy Robertson was equally pessimistic: "I don't think it's enough.
I don't think we've done enough. Time will tell. Maybe we're proved wrong. Maybe another shot at it. The next couple of days will be horrible, and long. This is the situation we've put ourselves in. We have to deal with it." The heavy nature of the defeat has severely damaged their goal difference and left the Tartan Army in limbo.
