The air will be thick with nostalgia when Scotland take on Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with both teams aiming to book their place in the knockout stages – and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
Mention this line-up to members of the Tartan Army and they’ll immediately get misty-eyed as they recall Scotland’s battles with Brazil at previous World Cups. This is the Scots’ fifth meeting with the A Selecao at the tournament – they have not played any other country more than twice – but their finals record against the five-time winners is not the best, with a 0-0 draw in 1974 followed by defeats in 1982, 1990 and 1998. It falls in the 6th grade of the Clarke’20rative in Miami. they may need a point to qualify for the knockout stage after their 1-0 defeat to Morocco last weekend. Finish third, and that’s calculators out as one of the top eight records. If they do, they will become the first Scotland team in history to progress beyond the group stage of a major tournament.
This game may not mean the same to Brazil as it does to the Scots, but it is important nonetheless. Carlo Ancelotti’s side beat Haiti 3-0 last time out to take control of Group C and they know a win here should put them top of the table thanks to their superior goal difference over Morocco. The Atlas Lions can leapfrog Brazil if they beat already eliminated Haiti and A Selecao fail to win, or if both teams triumph but the North Africans overturn their goal difference deficit of two. As a result, Ancelotti will want his side to not just win, but win well as they look to secure top spot. That means Brazil’s supporting cast will have to follow the lead of Matheus Cunha, who scored twice against Haiti, and take the pressure off superstar striker Vinicius Jnr.
