Tonight, the most successful nation in the history of the World Cup enters the fray as Brazil open their tournament against Morocco in New Jersey.
Carlo Ancelotti heads into his first World Cup as he looks to translate his glittering career as a club coach into the international game. Ancelotti has assembled a star-studded collection of talent that he hopes will get Brazil back to the top of the global mountain for the first time in over two decades.
As such, the Brazilians have put together a good run of matches ahead of the World Cup, with three straight victories against Croatia, Panama and Egypt serving as preparation the competition.
First up for Brazil is a stern test against Morocco, the semi-finalists from Qatar 2022 who look to build on that run with an even longer stay this time around.
The Atlas Lions are, of course, the reigning African champions after a controversial AFCON final and have gone undefeated for over two years.
