World Cup 2026 Group C Analysis: Brazil Face Giant-Killers Morocco and a Resurgent Scotland
A deep dive into World Cup 2026 Group C, featuring Brazil, Morocco, Scotland and Haiti. Tactical breakdown, key dangers and qualification predictions.
Group Overview
This is one of the tournament’s most intriguing groups:
Brazil’s raw talent, Morocco’s tactical sophistication, Scotland’s energy and Haiti’s unpredictability create a fascinating clash of styles.
Team-by-Team Breakdown
Brazil — Brilliant but Not Untouchable
Brazil remain favourites, but recent cycles show inconsistency. They have creativity, pace and world-class individuals, but can struggle when forced into structured, defensive matches.
Morocco — The Best Defensive Unit Outside Europe/South America
Morocco proved in 2022 that elite organisation can stop the world’s best. Their defensive block, counterattacking precision and team identity make them extremely dangerous.
Scotland — High Spirit, High Intensity
Scotland return to the World Cup with belief. Their midfield power and direct attacking create problems for any opponent.
Scotland’s biggest challenge?
Turning chance creation into goals.
Haiti — Energetic but Vulnerable
They will press, run and compete — but maintaining defensive discipline against elite opponents will be difficult.
Prediction
Brazil
Morocco
Scotland (very close behind)
A group where Scotland could shock the world — if they find finishing quality.
