The third round of group games are underway, and jeopardy becomes the keyword as DAZN News rounds up the biggest stories from the World Cup on Thursday, June 25.
Jesse Marsch demands improvement after Swiss defeat
Scotland made to sweat
Scotland's attempt to make history as the first Scottish side to progress from the group stage hangs in the balance after a nightmare display against Brazil.
Scott McKenna handed the South Americans a seventh-minute lead with a crucial error in his own box, and from that moment, Steve Clarke's side never looked like getting anything from the game.
Vinicius Jr and Matheus Cunha saw off the Tartan Army, who now must wait and see if their three points are enough to sneak through as one of the best third-placed teams, but even Clarke had admitted it looks like his side are going home.
To make the top eight, the Scots need a miracle combination of results from the remaining groups and it feels like their World Cup will be ending at the first hurdle once again.

South Africa step up to the plate
One team that has secured their place in the next round is South Africa, who pulled off the biggest shock of the placings so far by taking second place in Group A.
Bafana-Bafana took on South Korea in their final game, with the winner rewarded with a place in the Last 32, and it was the Asian side who were favoured.
But Thapelo Masko's goal meant that South Africa have progressed to the knockouts for the very first time.
How to watch the footy...
We all love the experience of a football game, don't we? Sitting in the stands, the smell of cigarette smoke, burgers and a freshly cut pitch? All part and parcel of a matchday.
Well, that's not how David Beckham does it these days. Sir Dave may have come from those roots, with his pie and mash and all, but these days he watches games a little differently.
There he was in Miami watching the Brazil vs. Scotland game, in the comfy directors' box, surrounded by famous faces and sipping a rather large - and probably expensive - glass of red wine.
You've changed, mate. What's wrong with a flat pint of beer or a cup of Bovril (I know, it was too hot for that, but still).
