Scotland fans in downtown Boston were in reflective mood this morning after the defeat to Morocco.
Scott McNab, 34, from Edinburgh, said he felt Scotland were “far too defensive” in the first half.
He said: “We sat in and played for the draw, and then second half came out, made changes, (Ben) Gannon-Doak made a massive difference and I feel like in the second half they were clinging on.”
He added: “In my opinion, we’ve been robbed of at least one penalty to eventually get a point. But I don’t want to be negative. We lost by one. Goal difference is what it’s going to come down to.
“I think the way the groups are going three points is going to be enough, and it’s going to come down to the goal difference.”
Looking ahead to the final game, Mr McNab joked: “It’s against Brazil, so not too hard.
Aidan Cunningham, 21, from East Kilbride, watched the game in downtown Boston and insisted Scotland were the better team on the night.
“Honestly, when the full-time whistle came I was a little heartbroken,” he said.
“We’ve really got to win against Brazil. I said Morocco is one of the best teams in the world and Brazil is slacking a little bit, so we’ve got a chance.”
Aberdonian Stuart Insh, who is 45 and lives in Edinburgh, said he felt a sense of “deflation”.
“Hopefully, the town of Boston is still happy with our company that we’re now sort of not as quite in the same bravado as we were before the game,” he said.
