OK, there is no Group of Death in the US Cup, all the keys are of life. That said, Brazil is the only one that needs to face a top 10 team in its group, and right on its debut — but in the regulations that classify 8 of the 12 third-placed teams, a possible loser in the match has everything to continue.
In Group C, the team faces the dangerous Morocco team, semi-finalist in 2022 — the best result for an African team.
But Brazil’s main novelty is on the bench, with the first foreign coach to lead the team, professor Carlo Ancelotti — he is also the “mister” with the best CV at the World Cup. In the Champions League alone, there were five.
Morocco, with full-back Hakimi (who just won the Champions League with PSG), arrives with an imported team. No less than 19 of the 26 called up were born in other countries, including Hakimi himself, who also has a Spanish passport.
Meanwhile, Haiti goes to its second World Cup trying not to extend its negative record — in 1974, it lost to Poland 7-0.
Scotland arrives with names known to those who follow the Premier League, including Robertson, who is negotiating with Tottenham after being successful for years at Liverpool.
