    Brazil 11 Morocco

    This was the kind of evening that tells you the group will not be a stroll. Morocco struck first through Saibari, and for a while the most expensive squad at the tournament looked rattled by a side that matched them shot for shot — fourteen to twelve, the xG splitting almost evenly. Vinicius Junior settled the nerves before the half, Bruno Guimaraes supplying, and Brazil dug in for a point against opponents who refused to defer to the badge. A draw, and a reminder. The talent is obvious; the work still has to be done.

    Brazil 30 Haiti

    This was the Brazil the tournament had been waiting for. Cunha struck twice inside the first half — the second teed up by Vinicius Junior — and Vinicius added the third himself on the stroke of half-time, Paqueta the architect. Three goals from eight shots tells you how clinical it was; the expected goals, 1.5 to 0.25, that the contest was effectively over by the interval. After a slow start to their campaign, the favourites finally looked the part.

    Brazil 30 Scotland

    Brazil were everything the rankings promised and a little more. An expected-goals line of 4.41 tells the story of a side that did not so much beat Scotland as dismantle them, and Vinicius Junior was the artist-in-chief: a goal inside seven minutes, a second on the stroke of half-time, the game decided before the interval. Matheus Cunha added the third just after the hour. Twenty shots, nine on target, a performance with no soft edges. Scotland kept swinging, but some afternoons you simply meet a better team at its very best.

    Brazil 21 Japan

    For half an hour Japan had the audacity to lead, and Brazil to look mortal. Kotaro Sano's strike stunned a side ranked sixth in the field, and the favourites needed every ounce of their quality to respond. Casemiro levelled just before the hour, and then, deep into stoppage, Gabriel Martinelli struck the winner that spared Brazil extra time. An expected-goals line of 1.69 to 0.23 says they always carried the greater threat, but Japan made them earn it. Into the last sixteen, with a warning shot fired — Brazil will know they can be hurt.

    Full time · The Report Dominant, wasteful, eliminated

    Brazil 12 Norway

    Brazil will not understand how they lost this. They created the better chances by a distance, missed a first-half penalty through Bruno Guimarães, and still went out. Erling Haaland's brace turned total control into heartbreak, and Neymar's stoppage-time penalty came far too late to matter. This was dominance without reward — the cruelest way a tournament can end. The expected-goals line says Brazil were the better side; the scoreboard sent them home all the same.

Friendship blends realized national co-starts with a club-chemistry bonus, so a settled XI and a club-spine squad both score high. Near 100 the total eases so the most-settled squads stay separated rather than all tying out. Gold lines trace the spine: teammates who share a club right now.
