Robertson was hooked at half-time with Scotland trailing 2-0 after a brace from Vinicius Junior, and Matheus Cunha made it 3-0 after the break.Robertson came out to sit on the Scotland bench during the second half with a bag of ice on one of his feet, prompting concerns that he could be a fitness doubt if Scotland scrapes its way into the last 32.After the game, Robertson and Alisson embraced, and a lip reader has decoded exactly what was said between the pair...Alisson: "It’s alright, you did your best, mate.



Recognize this, you were part of something amazing."Robertson, pointing out friends and family in the crowd: "Fourteen rows up, up near the top."Alisson: "Yeah, I think I can pick them out."Andy Robertson: "Never mind, let’s go."Andy Robertson during Scotland's loss Brazil(Image: 2026 DeFodi Images)Robertson and his international teammates face an anxious wait over the next few days to find out whether they will scrape into the knockout phase as one of the eight best third-placed teams.Scotland is currently seventh in the table of the 12 teams that currently occupy third place in their groups, but all five of the teams below Scotland are yet to play their final group game.After the game against Brazil, Robertson accepted that Scotland's chances of making it out of the group are slim.“As a collective, we didn’t want to put ourselves in a position of having to watch every game and hope for favors,” said Robertson. “If you ask me now, I don’t think it’s enough, I don’t think we’ve done enough.“Time will tell, maybe I’ll be proved wrong and we’ll get another shot, I hope that’s the case.

The next couple of days will be horrible and long but we have to deal with it.”Had Scotland only lost 1-0 to Brazil, its chances of making it into the last 32 as one of the best third-place teams would have been markedly better, but the team's goal difference of minus three means that progression is now unlikely.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCAndy RobertsonAlisson
