Group C is where the draw bites: Brazil, Morocco, Scotland, Haiti
Run down the twelve groups and C is the one that makes you wince. Brazil are Brazil. Morocco reached the semi-finals four years ago and have only got better. Scotland are stubborn and organised. Haiti are the wildcard, and wildcards have a habit of ruining someone's summer.
Brazil against Morocco on matchday one, June 13 in New York, is the pick of the opening round. Two sides who want the ball, one group that only carries two of them through with any comfort.
The maths
Top two advance, with a third-place safety net. In a group this even, one draw on the wrong night is the difference between the knockouts and an early flight home.
