Scotland face Brazil on World Cup return; England drawn with Croatia

Scotland began their last World Cup campaign, France '98, with a 2-1 defeat to Brazil. This time they'll face Haiti and Morocco in Boston before their final Group C game against Brazil in Miami.

England begin against Group L opponents Croatia in Dallas on June 17, before taking on Ghana in Boston and Panama in New Jersey. The games take place at 9pm, 9pm and 10pm respectively, UK time.

There are places in the draw still to be determined following the play-offs and should either Wales or Northern Ireland come through theirs, a place in Group B alongside Canada, Qatar and Switzerland would be the reward.

Republic of Ireland would enter Group A along with Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea.

Holders Argentina are in Group J with Algeria, Austria and Jordan, while 2022 beaten finalists France face Senegal, Norway and one of Iraq, Bolivia or Suriname in Group I.
