Scotland Falls 3-0 to Brazil at World Cup

Scotland lost 3-0 to Brazil, leaving the team with a slim chance of advancing from the group stage. A commentator on ITV said the outcome raised questions beyond the match result. The same commentator noted that Norway, a country of similar population, averages 6,000 to 7,000 weekly spectators and holds a broadcast contract worth £25 million more per year than Scotland's.

Scotland averages 16,000 spectators per match.

The Scottish coach said the team gave Brazil its first two goals and probably the third. The coach added that Brazil missed several chances and that goalkeeper Angus Gunn made key saves. The coach said the squad did not reach the performance levels it has shown in prior years.

The coach also said Scotland must improve its production of young players capable of competing at the highest level. The coach praised supporters for their backing throughout the tournament and described the players as ambassadors for the country. The commentator stated that Scotland possesses strong attendances, talent, storylines, and grassroots participation.
