‌But former Arsenal and Chelsea star Petit, a World Cup winner with France when Scotland last graced the global stage in 1998, isn’t so sure and believes the clash with Morocco, also at the Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, could determine who goes through. ‌The 55-year-old ex midfielder, who also played for Monaco and Barcelona, told BetGoat of Scotland’s chances: “It will be tough. I think that will be decided between them and Morocco. Most of them are always in the last eight, the quarterfinals, or the semifinals. “When you look since the World Cup competition was created, I can't remember how many countries have won it, but it's like a nuclear bomb, just a few of them.”
