L'Écosse doit-elle tout donner contre le Brésil ? Vos questions trouvent réponse

Two games down, only one to go?

There could yet be more fixtures to come at the World Cup if things go Scotland's way against Brazil.

We've been putting your questions to former internationals Leanne Crichton and Neil McCann before Wednesday's final - and vital - group game in Miami.

Firstly, Brazil, how good are they? Should we be fearful or hopeful we'll get what we need from them?

McCann: If you're getting a chance to play against Brazil for the chance to qualify for the first time in our history, to me that's something where you just say, 'I want some of that'.

Brazil look very good going forward. I do think, because of the conditions, the build-up will be a wee bit slower, but once you get towards the middle areas of the pitch, they're exceptional.

They could go very deep into the competition, but I just think it's a wonderful chance for us.

We haven't really performed yet. I would love to see us have a go. You can't go wide open, we don't want to get a hiding and then we end up losing that chance to progress [on goal difference], but I just think we're so much more than we've shown.

Crichton: If you had given us this opportunity at the start of the tournament to be heading into the third game with a real good chance of qualification based on the points tally that we're on and the goal difference that we're on, you would 100% have taken it.

It's an unbelievable opportunity to go and face Brazil with their star-studded team.

When you see teams like Cape Verde, Curacao and Congo having a go and getting results against higher-ranked teams, have Scotland underperformed by comparison?

Crichton: The reality is Scotland have got an identity and they play a certain way under Steve Clarke. For the most part, that is with a real good defensive structure and a contained element within the performance.

I think it's wonderful you can come to the tournament and see other identities and different styles of play.

I think we need to focus on being Scottish. The element of being Scottish in the performances that we've seen throughout the qualifying campaign is the reason we're here.

I think there's more to us, but the reality is we've won the opening game, which was a high-pressure game and such a vital start to the tournament for us.

McCann: When you think of some of the results we had against Norway, against Denmark, when we had to go for it, we actually looked really dangerous and got rewards by going for it.

I'm a wee bit different. I would absolutely think that we've got the players to have a go.

Go and ask Brazil questions defensively, because I think because they do play with a freedom. I always feel that then you have opportunities to go and create your own magic in the final third and that's what we're all looking for.

Where are the goals coming from?

McCann: I thought [Lyndon] Dykes should have started against Morocco. I felt he came on and made a huge difference. I think [Lawrence] Shankland is the best finisher out of the three and Che Adams has served Scotland brilliantly.

What Lyndon does as a lone striker means he energises and probably gives Scott McTominay and John McGinn more opportunities by being able to get us up the pitch. I would play Lyndon.

Crichton: I think set-pieces could be absolutely vital. We need to try to sustain attacks for a little bit longer.

It felt in the Morocco and Haiti games it was really quite a rushed job in terms of getting there and almost, when we got into that final third, everything had to happen really quickly and we chose the wrong decision.

You're 1-0 down with 15 minutes to go. What do you do if a 1-0 defeat might take us through?

Crichton: The reality is, where we are just now could be enough to take us through. But, if it was me and I felt we could play for that set-piece moment or get extra attackers on to the pitch to give you that bit of magic, then I would roll the dice.

McCann: I'm going for it. I want to take destiny in my own hands as a coach. I want to go and do something off our own back.

I don't want to be reliant on someone else and I think that's the fine balance of being stupid and being smart and I know there are probably times in my career that I have been stupid. I would absolutely go for it.
