It was supposed to be the group of death, and we were right. Brazil, Morocco and Scotland will fight until the very end to decide their paths at the knockout stages, while Haiti have been already eliminated despite a positive opening World Cup debut against Scotland. Morocco will meet them while Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil will face Scotland in one of the most exciting matches of the first phase of the soccer tournament. The first two teams qualify for the next round alongside the eight-highest third placed of the 12 groups.
