Scotland captain Kenny Miller was embarrassed by his side's showing against the USA on the weekend.
The Scots lost 5-1 in Florida with LA Galaxy ace Landon Donovan the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick, and involved in the other two goals.
Miller admitted that Scotland were simply not good enough and suggests the team may have gone backwards with this showing.
"If you lose 5-1 at any level of football there's an element of embarrassment.
"We were trying to stem the flow in the first half and got a goal back.
"At 2-1 we were fortunate, but the goals we lost in the second half were terrible.
"It is only a friendly but we're still disappointed. We have made progress with our recent performances, but this is a hard one and it hurts.""Of course it hurts - it's an embarrassment to be honest," the Cardiff City striker said.
