For the first time, it was Pele and Jerzinho, Gerson and Amarillo, the 1966 Brazil boys who faced Scotland, champions of the world, if only for a month. It was the icon who made Scotland face the Selecao for the first time, 60 years and 10 matches ago. Stevie Chalmers opened the game with a goal a minute in. The match ended 1-1. Steve Clark who wishes he had done better in Miami's heavy humidity on Wednesday. It's time for Scotland's match of the century. It has been a pain against Brazil. too much In Paris in 1998 the look of despair on Tom Boyd's face in the 73rd minute when the ball went behind his right hand and into his own goal; The goal that decided the situation - 2-1 in favor of the South Americans. In Frankfurt in 1974 the look of surprise on Billy Bremner's face when he missed a goal from a few yards out - 0-0, undefeated Scotland going home the other way. The Ghost of Round Different Direction is still big after a long time. Scotland know they don't need to win, nor necessarily draw, to reach the knockout stages for the first time in their history. Getting a point or three is their main objective, but a 1-0 deficit, a tough 2-0 defeat, or conceding even more goals could see them qualify for promotion. This is the basis of their position. Andy Robertson said Tuesday that he doesn't think about parametrics, but you bet he knows what he needs to know. His aim, naturally, is to get a result that takes Scotland to the next stage. They need to face everything to stay at this level. A lot of things have to happen for Scotland to get a point or three in this match, but if they do the scenes of jubilation in Boston, a city that claims the Tartan Army as its own, will authorize a warm-up. It is clear to Scotland fans that there are many gears in their enthusiasm and disloyalty. Hopefully Clarke and his players, in search of their history, will perform even more in the match of their lives.
