Group C's General Discussion Thread

Haiti had an impressive showing in a warm up match. Perhaps some hope there?

 

they are not to be taken lightely for sure !

 

Morocco vs Brazil will be broadcast on more than 340 channels worldwide!!!!

 

Prediction:

Brazil 2-1 Morocco

 

My predictions:

Brazil 1-1 Morocco (Brazil is better but teams don’t usually get 9 points in World Cup group stages, even elite teams usually)

Haiti 0-2 Scotland

 

Brazil :

Alisson
Ibanez, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Douglas Santos
Casemiro, Guimaraes,
Raphinha, Paqueta , Vinicius Jr.
Igor Thiago

Morocco :

Bounou
Hakimi Diop Riad Mazraoui
El Aynaoui Bouaddi
Diaz, Ounahi, El Khannouss
Saibari

(possible switch between Ounahi and El Khanouss who are both 10

 

Brazil has the edge up top, wings, and central defence.

Morocco has the edge in midfield and fullbacks, goalie.

First big match of the world cup.

 

Damn beautiful goal!!!

Morocco look good

 

Morocco has let Brazil off the hook. Should have been 2 or 3-0.

 

Tied up

 

This is a good game alright

 

Morocco had Brazil on the ropes and failed to knock them out. Hopefully they won't regret it.

 

Hakimi got away with one at the end against Vini, which the VAR chose to ignore. Yellow for sure, looked more like orange to me.

what’s wrong with Casemiro? Is he hurt? He looks like he’s ready to go to the mls to play with Messi and Suarez

 

I saw that. More of a yellow. The foot wasn't raised above the ground even though it was studs up. They usually dont give red for that.

The way things are going, Brazil won't end the game with 11 men, unless they make some subs.

 

And they sub off the 2 players on yellows.

 

This is why Ancelotti is getting the big bucks here. Let’s see if these subs make a difference.

 

Difference between Brazil and Morocco is the bench Brazil has in terms of offensive weapons. That could be the key.

 

But it is pretty much the same depth previous managers have had. He is being payed to make better decisions than his predecessors.

 

Brasil really looking like the better team this half.
