Why Scotland Played Straight Into Brazil's Hands

The Wayne Rooney Show

Available for over a year

Did Scotland get their tactics wrong against Brazil? Should England have done more to beat Ghana? And could Brazil be the team to beat under Carlo Ancelotti? Wayne Rooney is joined by Paul Lambert to analyse Scotland's World Cup defeat, questioning whether they walked right into Brazil’s trap. They also discuss Steve Clarke's record, Scotland's slim chances of progressing and the hard lessons they must learn. Plus, Wayne and Paul share stories about the Brazil teams they faced, and why Messi and Ronaldo are still the best.
