Need to knowScotland are on the verge of World Cup history if a certain set of results go in their favour even if they are beaten by Brazil16:47, 22 Jun 2026Scotland can still qualify for the World Cup knockout stages even if they lose to Brazil(Image: (Photo by Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images))Here is everything you need to know on how Scotland can qualify for the World Cup knockout stages even if they lose to Brazil...Scotland can still qualify for the round of 32 at the World Cup if they lose to Brazil, but Steve Clarke's side need a few results to go their way in order to be one of the best third-placed teams.One outcome Scotland will be hoping for is Mexico beating Czech Republic and South Korea taking three points against South Africa. That will mean the third-placed team in Group A would finish on just one point.The above scenario playing out would mean a draw between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar in Group B puts Scotland halfway to securing qualification.Egypt beating Iran would also result in the team that finished third in Group G being on much less than Scotland's three points.As Uruguay are yet to win, defeat to Spain will leave them on two points and thus Group H will be out of the running for a best third-place spot.With some groups still having two matchdays left, it is not exactly clear what will be enough for Scotland but they do just need four teams to be on less than three points and if on the same tally, with a worse goal difference to advance into the round of 32.Transfer news LIVE: Marcus Rashford to Tottenham, Arsenal's Tonali boost, Diomande latest
