Disaster Index: 6.8 Entry: Miami or Bust Cause: Scotland arriving at their final group fixture requiring a result against Brazil, having expended psychological reserves on the belief that qualification is now a reasonable expectation. Category: Emotional / Structural Evidence: Two matches played; Scotland have points on the board and a functioning belief system. Both are useful. Neither is sufficient for what Miami requires. Brazil are in this group. Historical precedent: Scotland have qualified from a World Cup group stage on zero occasions. The record notes this without editorial emphasis. Affected parties: The squad, the support, anyone who used the phrase "just need a result" in the last 48 hours. Immediate outlook: The hope is real. The opponent has not read the same articles.
