Scolari looks to third-place play-off after Brazil disaster

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari lamented a "disaster in six minutes" in their World Cup semi-final hammering to Germany but insisted his future would not be decided until after the tournament.

Following their 7-1 mauling in Belo Horizonte, Scolari has to lift his players for the third-place play-off at the weekend.

And while he stressed only after that game would his destiny be decided, it appears inconceivable the 65-year-old coach who oversaw his country’s biggest defeat since a6-0 loss to Uruguay in 1920 will remain in his post.
