For the first time in the modern era, no Brazilian on the bench: Carlo Ancelotti coaches the Seleção. That alone is a mini-revolution in a country where 'jeitinho brasileiro' trumps European discipline. But Ancelotti knows Vinícius and Rodrygo inside out from Real Madrid, and he brings something Brazil have been missing for twenty years: calm under pressure. The attack is solid — Vinícius, Raphinha, Rodrygo, Endrick, plus Neymar if fit. Defence remains the eternal question. Morocco in Group C is anything but a formality (they beat Spain in 2022). A sixth title — first since 2002 — would set everything right. Brazil are always candidates; just no longer favourites.
First World Cup since 1998. The Tartan Army returns. With Robertson, McTominay, McGinn and goal-scorer Adams, an experienced group. In Group C with Brazil and Morocco, a Round of 16 spot is difficult, but Scotland are known for upsets.
