Facing the five-time winners in a 5pm local time kick-off in the Florida heat is going to be a grueling test for Steve Clarke's men but the potential reward is monumental.

Scotland v Brazil team news
Lewis Ferguson, Aaron Hickey and Scott McKenna all missed training over the weekend but Clarke will hope to have the trio back fit to face Brazil.
The Scots have been boosted by good news concerning Kieran Tierney, who limped off with cramp an hour into the Morocco defeat.
Brazil head into the game without Raphinha as the Barcelona winger suffered a hamstring injury against Haiti. Neymar is available but will likely make his impact from the bench.
