Brazil vs Morocco Live Score: Despite a far from convincing performance in the Qualifiers, where they lost six of their 18 games and finished fifth, which in previous years would have forced them into the play-offs, Ancelotti believes this Brazilian squad can compete with the very best. “It’s a new experience, it’s a new responsibility to represent the country of football,” the Italian said. “We have a team that can compete with every team in the world, we’re convinced of that. It’s a team with quality and experience, and with absolute confidence that it can compete with anyone.”

That leaves reigning African champions Morocco, semi-finalists at the last World Cup, sensing a genuine opportunity in what is expected to be the defining fixture of a group that also features Scotland and Haiti.
