The sensation of the previous World Cup returns, and that wasn't an accident. Under Walid Regragui, this is a unit tactically better than its FIFA ranking suggests. Hakimi on the right flank is world-class, Bono in goal can decide any match alone, and Ziyech provides the magic. In Group C they can challenge Brazil for top spot — Morocco already beat Spain and Portugal in 2022, no reason why Brazil are different. The pressure is now enormous: a country expects at least a repeat. A quarter-final exit is a disappointment, a semi-final the minimum, a final the ultimate story for African football.
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.
