The Guardian FootballScotland v Brazil: World Cup 2026 – live
⚽ Kick-off: 11pm BST/6pm EDT/8am AEST ⚽ Player guide | Bracketology | Group tables | Mail Scott The BBC have flashed up a graphic of Scotland’s chances of reaching the knockout stage. It shows that if they win tonight, they’re 100 percent sure of getting through. A draw puts them on 99.99%. A defeat by one goal still gives them an 84.7% chance, while a two-goal loss drops the number down to 66.8%. All fairly promising, but then diminishing returns set in: a three-goal loss reduces the chance of progress to 49.2%, a four-goal defeat and it’s 38.7%, a five-goal stuffing and it’s just 31.3% and … well, if it gets much worse it’d probably be for the best to pack up and pop back over the briny. But there’s a big reminder that all hope is not lost should things go awry tonight. The first setback for Scotland tonight comes early. Bosnia and Herzegovina have already seen off Italy in the qualifiers, and now they’ve done for Qatar in Group B with a 3-1 win. Bosnia and Herzegovina therefore finish third in the group, and their four-point haul means one less potential lifeline for Scotland, who have three points in Group C, should they lose tonight.

The Guardian FootballCanada lose home advantage for last 32 after Switzerland win to take top spot
With Canada’s home World Cup on the line, Jesse Marsch used his captain, Alphonso Davies, as a “decoy”. A shrewd Switzerland side, alas, never took the bait and so the switch is now Marsch’s lot as his team are forced to become road warriors. A pulsating second half in the sauna of BC Place followed a dogfight of a first. At the end of it all, despite a gatecrashing intervention by the Canada supersub Promise David, Switzerland had won Group B and with it the rights to call Vancouver home through the first week of the knockout stages.

The Guardian FootballGermany’s Kai Havertz: ‘I make runs that look pointless but I’m creating space’
Forward on the misunderstanding of his role and momentum the four-time champions have put together for a winning World Cup campaign after topping their group Kai Havertz is recalling the cocktail of feelings that swirled around his head in Budapest three-and-a-half weeks ago. Arsenal could not have lost the Champions League final in more agonising circumstances but the only available option was to straighten up and start smiling. They were due to set off on a bus around Islington for the Premier League trophy parade at 2pm the following day. Was this really the moment to bathe in a million onlookers’ adulation? “To be honest, it was tough,” says Havertz, whose early goal against Paris Saint-Germain had looked a possible winner for nearly an hour. “After the match, I initially thought we would call the whole thing off. By the next morning, things looked different.” Continue reading...

⚽️ Kick-off time: 8pm local/12pm AEST/3am BST/10pm EDT ⚽️ Player guide | Bracketology | Golden Boot | Mail Martin Today’s other game was the Group I clash between England and Ghana. Thomas Tuchel’s team got a stern reality check from a dogged Ghanaian side who were happy to sit back and defend. David Hytner was at Boston Stadium: England’s idea was to maintain the momentum they had generated in the 4-2 win over Croatia in their opening Group L tie but there was no surge here. Only stodge.
