The 2026 World Cup<\/a> continues with four matchups on Saturday, including an intriguing Group C encounter between Brazil<\/a> and Morocco<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brazil is hoping to make a deep run after reaching the quarterfinals in four of the past five World Cups and reaching the semifinal in 2014. Morocco is coming off a Cinderella run in 2022 when they won their group and knocked out Spain and Portugal before falling to France<\/a> in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Scotland<\/a> is also in action today as it will face Haiti<\/a>, while the USMNT<\/a>‘s next two opponents, Australia<\/a> and T\u00fcrkiye, face off in the final match of the day.<\/p>\n

Switzerland<\/a> and Qatar<\/a> kicked off Saturday’s action and the Swiss dominated the match in almost every way, but they were forced to settle for a draw after a last-gasp goal from Qatar’s Boualem Khoukhi<\/a>. The Canadians scored on a penalty kick by Breel Embolo in the 17th minute<\/a> and had 23 shots (seven on goal) in the game, but they’ll only get one point for Saturday’s outing after the dramatic finish.<\/p>\n

A beautiful finish from Ismael Saibari off a perfect pass that split the Brazilian defense gives Morocco a 1-0 lead before the first hydration break.<\/p>\n

Morocco is now a +130 favorite to win on the money line, with Brazil at +220 and the draw at +230.<\/p>\n

Just look at how good this was.<\/p>\n

What a counter by Morocco. As Brazil was looking better, Morocco just slices through the middle of Brazil\u2019s midfield and defense after regaining possession in its own half with a great pass from Brahim Diaz and Ismail Saibari dips in a lovely goal over Alisson.<\/p>\n

\"NickSat, June 13, 2026 at 3:23 PM PDT<\/p>\n

After a dozen or so minutes of Morocco pinning Brazil back to start the game, Brazil has looked much more incisive and lively as the first hydration break approaches.<\/p>\n

Vini Jr. with a phenomenal cross over the Moroccan back line to Igor Thiago, but Thiago can\u2019t get his head to it.<\/p>\n

Brazil probably snipes a 1-0 lead if Thiago can make contact. He had acres of space and a wide open goal.<\/p>\n

You wouldn\u2019t know Morocco is the underdog from the first 12 minutes of play, which the Atlas Lions have absolutely dominated with over 60% of possession.<\/p>\n

Brazil hasn\u2019t lost a World Cup opener in 92 years (!!!) dating back to a 1-3 defeat to Spain in 1934.<\/p>\n

Since then: 17 wins, 3 draws (47-14 goal differential).<\/p>\n

Morocco threatening early… still 0-0<\/p>\n

Morocco has dominated the opening minutes and had a great chance off a cross from Noussair Mazraoui in the sixth minute. But Neil El Aynaoui\u2019s shot was blocked by Guimar\u00e3es with Alisson not in a position to make the save.<\/p>\n

Just a minute later, a diagonal shot to the far post from Achraf Hakimi went wide of the Brazil net.<\/p>\n

The betting public has likely at least heard of a few player\u2019s on Brazil\u2019s roster. Morocco? Not as much.<\/p>\n

Over 80% of bets and total dollars wagered at multiple sportsbooks are on Brazil (-150) to win.<\/p>\n

This has the chance to be one of the best games of the group stage. Let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n

If you missed it earlier, Brazil fans took over Times Square in New York City prior to their match in New Jersey against Morocco.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian star is not available Saturday due to a calf injury. Manager Carlo Ancelotti said he expects the 34-year-old to return to training next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s working hard to get fit as quickly as possible,\u201d Ancelotti said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over 90% of the bets at multiple sportsbooks were on Switzerland (-550) to beat Qatar, while only 2% of wagers at BetMGM were on the draw.<\/p>\n

A stunning result.<\/p>\n

Brazil (4-2-3-1): Alisson, Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es, Marquinhos, Douglas Santos, Roger Iba\u00f1ez, Casemiro, Bruno Guimar\u00e3es, Lucas Paquet\u00e1, Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior, Raphinha, Igor Thiago<\/p>\n

There are a lot of similarities through the first two games in Group B.<\/p>\n

Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland and Qatar each have one point. And each scored a goal and gave up a goal.<\/p>\n

Switzerland was in prime position to control the group with a win. But now all four teams have legitimate knockout round hopes.<\/p>\n

\"NickSat, June 13, 2026 at 2:05 PM PDT<\/p>\n

An absolute theft by Qatar, as they get a World Cup point for the first time. Qatar lost all three of its matches in 2022.<\/p>\n

Switzerland dominated the game, but couldn\u2019t get a second goal after Breel Embolo\u2019s penalty kick.<\/p>\n

Will this end 1-0 or will<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been nothing on the counter for Qatar in the last 20 minutes. When Qatar does get the ball in Switzerland\u2019s half, it\u2019s best opportunity has been a deflected cross from Akram Afif easily into the hands of Swiss goalie Gregor Kobel.<\/p>\n
