On the basis of what you've seen against Haiti and Morocco, do you think Scotland have what it takes to make it to the next round of the tournament?

Let us know by voting in our poll below.

Fernando Duarte is a Brazilian journalist at the BBC World Service and he tells Radio Scotland: “Dismiss Brazil at your own peril.”

“I’m expecting Brazil to evolve during this competition for as long as they go.

“It’s definitely not a vintage crop but you still have some amazing players like Vinicius Junior.”

He assumes things are going to get better after the turmoil of having four managers in four years.

And he points out Brazil have never lost to a United Kingdom side in the World Cup and he advises Scotland to “park the bus”.

Former Scotland boss Craig Levein tells Radio Scotland's Lunchtime Live: “We’ll have to be at our absolute best to qualify."

On tonight's match he adds: “We’ll need to be absolutely brilliant defensively, I’m not just talking about the back line, I’m talking about the whole team.

“It’s much easier to stop people scoring than it is to actually score yourself.”

Scotland's switch to the Sunshine State is more than a little serendipitous for the Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh.

These days he divides his time between homes in Edinburgh, London, and Miami.

He says it’s great to have the Scotland Brazil match in his “home from home”.

On Scotland’s team he says: “We’re limited, we know we are, we’ve got a great midfield, we’ve got a journeyman defence and we don’t have much up front.

“It’s hard not to qualify now we’ve beaten Haiti. If we avoid getting slaughtered by Brazil we’ll probably get through and live to fight another day.”

The Tartan Army has been phenomenal and it shows the World Cup is a great festival with people connecting he says.

It would be epic to see Scotland seal qualification tonight against Brazil, rather than leave their fate in the hands of other teams.

Not least because watching a jubilant Tartan Army spill out onto the streets of Miami after the game would be much preferred to spending the coming days anxiously checking the progress of third-placed teams.

But what should Steve Clarke do to get a result over the line, park the bus and pray for a goalless draw? Or throw Scott McTominay forward and cross your fingers that he's got some more overhead magic in him?

We want to know what you would do if you were the Scotland boss - and how confident you are feeling before the decisive game tonight.

It feels like the whole of Scotland are squashed into Miami.

Many thought - me included - that Boston was the Tartan Army at its best, and there was a wee, quiet, concern that 'The Magic City' couldn't match it.

Boy, were we wrong.

Following on from Monday's march to the Miami Marlins match - because baseball is what we follow now - Tuesday saw the TA bounce down the beach to the soundtrack of 'No Scotland, No Party', 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' and 'We'll Be Coming'.

Coming they are. Well, they've long since arrived.

The mile march from Lummus Park to Ocean Drive was magnificent. A throwback to Cologne two years ago at Euro 2024.

Who said that couldn't be topped?

Locals are immersing themselves in the atmosphere - and the accent - and enjoying the influx of men in kilts who keep going on about the heat.

There really is that once in a lifetime feel about all this. Kicking about America, not aware of what day of the week it is with a flock of folk from home.

All this without even thinking about the football.

It's only Brazil, eh?

With 32 of the 48 teams advancing to the knockout rounds, new tiebreaker rules, and a table of third-placed teams to keep track of, staying across the various permutations is far from simple.

As it stands England, sitting top of Group L, and Scotland, third in Group C, are on course to meet in the last 16 in Mexico City (6 July, 01:00 BST).

For that game to happen, theoretically, England would need to beat Cape Verde in the round of 32 and Scotland would have to beat Mexico.

But all of that could change depending not only on England and Scotland's performances in their final group matches against Panama and Brazil, respectively, but also results elsewhere.

Way back at the 1998 World Cup, Scotland were in Group A with Norway and two of the same opponents as this time, Brazil and Morocco.

They finished bottom of the standings on one point after losing against Brazil and Morocco and drawing with Norway.

Can they pick up a more positive result when they face Brazil for the fifth time at a World Cup this evening?

Steve Clarke's team currently sit on three points after the first two group games.

A win over Brazil would guarantee a place in the next round, while a draw would all but secure qualification for the first time in Scotland's history.

A defeat would not end the team's chances, but they will then be reliant on results in the other group matches going their way.

Fans will then be glued to the table showing the best third-placed teams, hoping that Scotland can remain among the top eight sides who will progress.

They might have to wait until all the group games finish on 27 June to know if Scotland are through - before facing a scramble to get to Boston, New Jersey or Mexico City for a match in the last 32.

If two or more teams are tied on points in the same group in the 2026 World Cup, head-to-head record is used as the first tie-breaker.

This is a change from previous World Cups, when goal difference was the initial tie-breaker. Head-to-head record was not used as any tie-breaker until 1994 but has now been made the first deciding factor.

It means that should multiple teams finish level on points, the teams involved will be ranked on head-to-head record in matches where those involved faced each other.

If that match ended in a draw, the remaining set of tie-breakers will be used until the tie is broken.

These are:

1. Most points in head-to-head matches from teams involved
2. Superior goal difference in head-to-head matches from teams involved
3. Greatest number of goals scored in head-to-head matches from teams involved
4. Superior goal difference in all group stage matches
5. Greatest number of goals scored in all group stage matches
6. Best team conduct score (players and officials) relating to the number of yellow cards and red cards obtained
7. Highest ranking from latest Fifa world rankings

It's that time of the tournament when my head starts to hurt a bit.

'If this, then that.'

'Team X could advance ahead of Team Y but only if Team Z fail to beat the bottom side.'

And that was before Fifa went and changed the number of teams in the tournament and the process by which qualification is decided.

Fortunately the BBC Sport Ask Me Anything team is on hand to clear up any doubts about how this works and help you to figure out what your team need to get into the round of 32.

Take it away Jonty...

The last round of group games begins tonight as the final standings of A, B, and C will be decided.

That means that for the first time at this World Cup you will have to make a choice about which game to watch as we've got simultaneous kick-offs.

Here are your options:

Group B

• Bosnia-Herzegovina v Qatar (20:00 BST)
• Switzerland v Canada (20:00 BST)

Group C

• Morocco v Haiti (23:00 BST)
• Scotland v Brazil (23:00 BST)

Group A

• Czech Republic v Mexico (02:00 BST)
• South Africa v South Korea (02:00 BST)

In the beginning, it was Pele and Jairzinho, Gerson and Amarildo, the Brazilian boys of 1966, still champions of the world, if only for another month.

These were the icons that Scotland faced the first time they played the Selecao, 60 years and 10 games ago. Stevie Chalmers, a Lisbon Lion in waiting, opened the scoring after a minute. It ended 1-1.

What Steve Clarke would give for more of the same on Wednesday in the blistering humidity of Miami. Scotland's game of the century is nigh.

There's been pain against Brazil. Too much.

The forlorn look on Tom Boyd's face in the 73rd minute in Paris in 1998 as the ball ricochets off his right arm and into the back of his own net; the goal that settled it - 2-1 to the South Americans.

The head-in-hands shock of the great Billy Bremner when he fails to score from a few yards out just after the hour mark in Frankfurt in 1974 - 0-0, undefeated Scotland going home on goal difference.

The goal difference spectre looms large again now, more than a half a century later. Scotland know they don't need to win and don't even necessarily need to draw to get themselves into the knockout round for the first time in their history.

Getting a point, or three, is the object of the exercise and their total focus, but a battling 1-0 loss, a rough 2-0 defeat, or even a desperate chasing and more goals conceded might still see them advance.

It's the essential weirdness of the situation they're in.

Wee, auld, silly Scotland taking on the mighty, glamorous, brilliant Brazil in Miami.

What a time. The stuff of dreams. A date with destiny.

Imagine telling us that this would be on the cards in the 63rd minute of the Greece game in Athens back in November?

Warra ride.

Alright, that's the last 24 hours of World Cup action wrapped up nicely.

Now, let's look ahead to this evening. Anything good on?

Modric recorded an 88% passing accuracy against Panama (69/78).

The Croatian has also completed at least 80% of his passes in all 19 of his career World Cup starts.

Maybe age is just a number after all...
