Scotland are on the brink of creating World Cup history - by being the nation eliminated most often in the group stages.
Steve Clarke's side crashed to yet another dismal defeat in a final group stage game, as they crumbled to a 3-0 battering by Brazil in Miami.
Both Clarke and midfielder John McGinn have predicted that the Scots will go home after the final matches have been played in the group stages, with Scotland looking likely to miss out as one of the best third place qualifiers.
And if they do crash out, it will be the ninth time Scotland failed to get out of the group stages and it's set to create a new record in the 96-year history of the World Cup.
Scotland have been eliminated eight times from the group stages so far - and that's the same as South Korea and Mexico.

This year, Mexico have already qualified and South Korea are expected to squeeze through too in third place because they have a goal difference of -1, two better than Scotland.
Scotland have previously failed to get through the group stages of the World Cup in 1954 in Sweden, 1958 in Switzerland, 1974 in West Germany, 1978 in Argentina, 1982 in Spain, 1986 in Mexico, 1990 in Italy and 1998 in France.
They have also failed to get out of the groups in four European Championships - two of them under Clarke.
South Korea have also qualified from their group stage three times and reached the semi-finals when they co-hosted it in 2002.
And Mexico have got through the first round on nine occasions and have twice reached the quarter finals.
Now Scotland look set to have an unwanted record to take with them on the plane home this weekend.
