Morocco 4-2 Haiti - Atlas Lions Top Group C, Scotland's Fate Gets Complicated

[TommyB_20]

Morocco beat Haiti 4-2 in Atlanta to finish second in Group C behind Brazil. Morocco end with six points and a positive goal difference. Haiti showed what they're made of by scoring twice against Morocco after scoring twice against Belgium earlier in the tournament. They've been the surprise package of Group C for all the wrong reasons for opponents and all the right reasons for neutral fans. Morocco finishing second sets up an interesting knockout round for them. For Scotland the Morocco result means Group C is concluded with Scotland on three points and minus two goal difference. The race to be among the best eight third-placed teams is now officially on and Scotland are watching every other group's final matches nervously.

Haiti scoring twice against Morocco after scoring twice against Belgium is extraordinary for a team everyone wrote off

[MondayMoan31]

Morocco second in the group sets them up well in the knockout rounds. They're organised and dangerous

[William56]

Four goals from Morocco shows their attacking quality when they're not just defending a lead

[Policy Cipher]

Scotland now sits and waits. Three points minus two goal difference. It's enough in some scenarios and not others

[BrightRunner]

Haiti's World Cup is over but what a tournament they've had. Nobody expected them to score goals against anyone

[Hollow85]

Group C ending Brazil seven points Morocco six Scotland three Haiti zero is about right for the quality order

[QuietNomad]

The best third-placed team calculation involves comparing six groups' third place finishers. Scotland need to track it carefully

[Sienna74]

Morocco vs whoever comes out of the other groups in the Round of 32 is an interesting knockout tie

[IronSpectre88]

Haiti's goalkeeper kept the score respectable. He had no chance with four goals but it could have been worse

[Di87]

The expanded format means Scotland's three points might be enough. In 32-team format they'd definitely be going home

Loved Haiti ?? in this World Cup.
