The 2026 World Cup is officially two weeks old, and after England were held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana, Scotland are gearing up for their fifth tournament meeting with Brazil.
Thomas Tuchel's side missed out on the chance to confirm their spot in the knockout stages, with Nico O'Reilly going the closest on Tuesday when he hit the bar with a header and Harry Kane skied the rebound.

Ghana can also feel slightly aggrieved not to have won a penalty when Prince Adu tangled with Ezri Konsa in the box with 10 minutes to go. The VAR did not see referee SaÃd MartÃnez's dismissal of the penalty as a clear and obvious error, and England escaped.
In the early kick-off, Ronaldo silenced some doubters after a difficult first match against Congo DR by scoring twice in Portugal's 5-0 win over Uzbekistan. Nuno Mendes and Rafael Leão also got on the scoresheet, with goalkeeper Abduvohid Nematov also turning into his own net.
Ante Budimir scored the only goal of the game as Croatia beat Panama to stay within touching distance of England and Ghana, knocking the Central American side out in the process.
Luka Modric also made his 200th international appearance in that game.
Meanwhile, Daniel Muñoz got his second goal in two World Cup games as Colombia defeated Congo DR 1-0.
Wednesday sees the final round of group games get underway, with Scotland taking on Brazil with the chance to make the knockout stages of a World Cup for the very first time.
