Chapter 1: What are the initial reactions to Scotland vs. Brazil match?
Live in Glasgow's Merchant City Square. And live from the Miami Stadium. 0141 951 1025. Clyde One Super Scoreboard.
Here we are. The players are making their way out the tunnel in Miami. It's Scotland against Brazil. It's at the World Cup. It could not get any bigger. The fact that On the television, Carlo Ancelotti, the Brazil manager, comes out the tunnel to be greeted by Ronaldinho. Tells you what this occasion is like, the magnitude of it.
There is a saltire that is leading the Scotland players towards the centre circle, where they will stand around it with the Brazil players for the National Anthem. Let's go over to the Miami Stadium, ready for the National Anthems. And up to kick-off with Gabriel Antoniazzi.
Chapter 2: How did Scotland's defensive errors lead to Brazil's first goal?
Yep, Andrew, the team's being led out by the captains. Marquinhos, who has just lifted the European Cup for a second time, and Andy Robertson leading Scotland onto the park. As you say, two giant flags, one of Brazil, one of Scotland. Scott McTominay with smile on his face. And why wouldn't you be smiling? Look at this occasion.
All of the 26 players coming round the centre circle for the bowls as they have been doing for all of the World Cup. You look at the players out there. John McGinn, the player with the goal in the opening game against Haiti. Will he come up big again or will it be McTominay finally arriving on the World Cup stage? Ben Ganondoke is in from the start.
will he make a difference electric on the right wing we are ready for the anthems now beginning with Scotland Wow, how special was that? Plenty of people with tears in their eyes around me Scotland fans and you can understand why an unbelievable rendition of the national anthem and now here come the Brazilians who outnumber Scotland in the stadium An absolutely fantastic anthem as well.
Chapter 3: What was the impact of the VAR decision on the match?
That was special. Seeing the likes of Vinicius and Neymar singing loud and proud with the yellow wall around this stadium. Joining in with them, the two teams shaking hands. Now, Andrew, moments away from this game. A game for the ages. Generations have seen it before, but perhaps not. This time it will be different between Scotland and Brazil.
You look at the Scotland team here and you ask, who will step up and be the hero this time? Who will be John Collins and his famous wink in 1998? Or David Neri's toe poker back in 1982? Who will etch their name into the history books? Perhaps it'll be the manager, Steve Clarke. He said the mood is frank to camp and that he wants his players to have the best night of their lives.
Scotland win tonight. Many fans across the country, across the globe, might have the best night of their lives as well.
Chapter 4: How did Scotland respond after conceding the first goal?
We've been here before with this team. A final game at a major tournament with the knockout stage within the grasp.
have Clarke and the players learned from their mistakes well this is the ultimate test they must start sharper than they did against Morocco and they must be braver earlier if they are to grab this game grab this tournament by the scruff of the neck let's go through the starting 11 once more four changes from last week's game it's gun and goal a back four of Patterson
Hendry, McKenna and Robertson. Ferguson and McLean are at the base of midfield with McGinn, McTominay and Ganondoke in front of them. Lawrence Shankland leads the line. As we know, Clarke is Scotland's longest serving manager. He could confirm his place as their greatest. He could achieve something no one else has done. The promised land of knockout tournament football.
It's never happened before in our country's history. This is the 13th time of asking for the men's team. A point would almost certainly secure passage to the last 32. The players need the game of their careers against the might of Brazil, the superpower of the World Cup.
Chapter 5: What changes were made at halftime and their significance?
And that's something you truly feel here in the stadium, Andrew, with these yellow jerseys outnumbering Scotland's blue jersey. Quite significantly down here in Miami the captains Andy Robertson and Marquinhos shaking hands in the center circle with the Mexican referee. Each Scotland jersey tonight has an inscription in the lining to inspire. A quote from Dennis Law, one of Scotland's greatest.
It reads, look around the room at each other. Listen to the fans out there and throw everything at anyone who is trying to stop Scotland winning. If that is not rousing enough, then you don't know what is. The sights and sound in this stadium are something else. The lucky few, the lucky thousands of Scots who are inside will never, ever forget this game.
Everyone at home, any Scot across the globe wishes they were inside. And this is it, Andrew. Scotland against Brazil. At the World Cup, kick-off is next.
Wow, this is it. For the next 90 minutes, Scotland is going to stand still.
Chapter 6: How did Vinicius Junior's performance affect the game?
Children will be allowed to stay up late despite having school tomorrow. Thoughts of work in the morning will be pushed aside because this is a night...
and could be a story that is repeated for decades to come these Scotland players and Steve Clarke aiming to achieve something that we have never achieved before it is Brazil it's not an expectation that it's going to happen but there's a hope there's a belief that's been instilled by this Scotland squad by this manager that something could be possible tonight the countdown three
Two, one, and we are under way. In Miami, it's Scotland against Brazil. And this is special for the BL.
It's 28 years in the waiting, Andrew. And every Scottish fan now is glued to the TV. The ones over in Miami, it's incredible. You see Scotland there, right back to the goalkeeper gun. He's played on the pitch. I think we've just said, listen, we're going to try and get it up the pitch as quickly as we possibly can. But what did Brazil do?
Right away, the minute they get the ball, they're a danger, man. Really...

Chapter 7: What were Scotland's chances to score in the second half?
three passes and it was straight out to Vinnie Junior what we did do really well though is what we spoke about Nathan Patterson wasn't the first guy there but he did another Scotland jersey across with real intensity putting under real pressure And that is going to be the key, you cannot allow him to gather pace against him because his one-on-one ability is incredible.
If Steve Clarke analysed the Morocco game, the one thing they'd done was closed Brazil down as quickly as they possibly could, didn't give them space, didn't give them time to settle on it. Here's a great... Do you know something? Already I think we're already on the front foot. We're trying to get up the pitch and we're getting up there. We're one in the second balls and getting into wide areas.
I think very poignant for Scotland already and I know it's just under two minutes on the clock.
Yeah, well probably Andy Robertson into the Brazil box has to be headed away by Marquinhos. Scotland trying to get the ball forward, trying to create problems for Brazil. Can we play it on? And we are playing on. I think the Brazil player stopped thinking a free kick had been given. And Scotland will take the free kick in the end. Lewis Ferguson has taken a bump.
And Scotland can try and launch this one into the box early doors.
Look, it's plain to me that Steve Klatt said, look, Let's get at them. Let's not sit back and admire them. Let's not let them get on the ball and dictate the pace of the game. Let us try and dictate the pace. Let's get it right. Let's get at them. The minute they get the ball, don't let them get their heads up and pick out... Oh, that is magnificent.
totally the wrong game here I was just about to say that you could tell the magnitude of the occasion how big it is for playing against Brazil but on the TV and the build up to it we saw Ronaldinho we saw R9 Ronaldo we saw Kaka, we saw Cafu and David Beckham is also flashed up on the screen someone that doesn't have a vested interest in this game but he knows how big this match is that he's there and obviously a Miami resident
But that wasn't what impressed me, it was the fact that he picked up the biggest glass of red wine I've ever seen in my life. It was a goblet. Oh my goodness, so he's there to probably support Scotland, did I say? Oh, well played.

Chapter 8: What does the final score mean for Scotland's World Cup hopes?
You know, I like, as I say early, but I like the sort of pace to this game. I like the fact that most of our players are getting a touch in the ball. We've seen a lot more of things that we've wanted to see in the previous two games. Incredible, haven't we? You just get a wee feel for a game, Scotty.
I've got a wee sneaky for this because I think we have decided, look, we're going to stand up here. This is your cup final. This is your World Cup final. Let's not be kidding here. So get at them, go and express yourself, get a touch of the ball, and we're doing that. Everybody's getting a touch of the ball. We're controlling the pace of the game against Brazil so far.
Because that's it, the start against Morocco, conceded within 71 seconds, was far from ideal. At first you're thinking, make sure you don't repeat that, but it's actually been the polar opposite of that. Scotland are on the ball, they're trying to move Brazil about. we're dictating things at the moment.
We're showing a bit of patience, don't get me wrong, they're not really pressing with any intensity, but that doesn't matter, what this does is straight away in the game, it settles you into the game, it allows you to find your touch.
And already she's got it there, playing for a draw. I'm only kidding I know I'm only kidding I'm only kidding but no it's encouraging because as you see we looked at Morocco and all of a sudden Morocco got the goal early they dictated the pace here
all of a sudden, we're looking comfortable on the ball, we're getting touches over, there's another great ball from Gunn out to Robertson, that's slack from Robertson, that's slack from the captain.
Yeah, that's a great touch from Andy Robertson, it goes back the way, it's a wonderful looking shape of a ball in from the right, from Bruno de Moraes, when it's gathered gratefully by Angus Gunn, and Scotland can try now to build out from the back.
I tell you what, I've got to say I'm very surprised at the way Brazil have started because they're letting their material come off and plenty of space, taking the ball, turning, you know, picking out passes. There's Kenny McLean's in there to keep the ball. That's a poor passing. It's far too straight, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. He's got to play safe side for me.
but once again I'll be interested in it's settling in it's early doors only five minutes on the clock against Morocco we were one down and fearing the worst but so far I'm quite encouraged I know it's only five minutes I would agree I would agree guys I think we're all settling in the game a lot better than we had in the previous games as I said your midfielders are getting the ball looking to play forward
