How did Group C finish?
What a group this turned out to be, and the big story is Morocco.
Brazil topped it on 7 points, but they were pushed all the way and only edged it on goal difference.
Morocco matched them point for point, finished 2nd on 7 points, and even held Brazil to a 1-1 draw along the way.
That is the dark horse proving the 2022 semifinal run was no accident, and they go through in style.
Brazil are through too, so the 2 biggest sides came out on top, as expected.
But Scotland are the team heading home, and it is a heartbreaking way to go.
They finished 3rd on 3 points, but they missed the cut for the 8 best 3rd-place spots, so they are out.
Haiti finish at the bottom of the group on 0 points and head home too, but a first World Cup in 52 years is a story they can be proud of.
The final order is Brazil, then Morocco, with Scotland and Haiti both out.
Brazil and Morocco moved on, and Morocco looked every bit a side nobody wanted to face next.
