Scotland manager, Steve Clarke has been slammed for storming out of his post-match interview following defeat to Brazil.
He abandoned his post-match interview with BBC presenter Eilidh Barbour after just 23 seconds following a 3-0 loss to Brazil which left his team’s World Cup campaign in the balance.
Vinicius Junior scored twice and Matheus Cunha once as the Scots were swept aside in Miami primarily due to their own defensive mistakes.
The defeat leaves them in 3rd place with a goal difference of -3. That means they have to wait for the result of others to know whether they qualify for the knockout round.
As for Clarke, he admitted that he thinks his side are going home and the Scotland boss was furious after the game.

It was supposed to be an historic moment for them to appear at the round of 32, despite having 8 appearances.
Clarke, who has masterminded Scotland’s path to the World Cup and had high hopes of making history with his squad, was visibly emotional when speaking to Barbour following the final whistle.
He was asked for his thoughts on the game and provided a sharp and admitting response.
“We made it difficult for ourselves, that’s it,” Clarke replied.
Two more questions followed with Barbour asking if it was frustrating that Brazil didn’t need to work hard to score and Clarke agreed saying:
“We gave them the goals, we gave them the game they wanted. Disappointing.”
When he was reminded that Scotland now faces a waiting game and asked for his thoughts on what is to come, the Scotland boss responded, “I don’t even want to think about that.
“Sorry, I don’t even think about that.”
He then walked away before the interview could be concluded properly.
