    It’s not the 90s anymore, expectations should be lowered for Brazil. If you look at UEFA rankings a tie for a match between the 5th and 6th is logical.

        People sleeping on Morocco are showing football ignorance. Just go check their players current clubs, you might be surprised, and not that far off from Brazil.

            Nothing, really, it’s just that Brazil had an exceptionally good generation like 30 years ago and nothing can ever beat that since at the time pretty much every single player in their starting 11 was a star for their respective teams.

        Morocco might not be the worst team in the world

        Morocco made it to the semi finals last time, and won (albeit with controversy) the african cup last time.

        But yeah, for Brazil, drawing the first match against a non-huge team and conceding the first goal in that match is not their finest form.
