The World Cup 2018 Group D teams
ARGENTINA
CROATIA
ICELAND
NIGERIA
Keep. Your. Money. In. Your Pocket. That’s my advice when it comes to this group. What a tough one to call.
You would think Argentina would win it, but Messi never seems to have a great World Cup. Player for player, they edge their group mates and it would be a shocker for them to go out in the group stage. But, remember, they didn’t qualify for the 2018World Cup with any ease.
And as for the rest, any one of those could qualify.
Iceland will make friends all over Russia, not least for the passion of their fans. To call them underdogs does them an injustice. They were Euro 2016 quarter finalists, beating England along the way. No great feat, admittedly.
Croatia has quality players with international pedigree and I always tip them to do well in tournaments (I even predicted they would reach the Euro 2016 Final which did not happen).
And Nigeria are always a good team to watch, perhaps lacking the big name attacking players they used to have.
So how to call this. Look to the support. Geographically, Croatia are the nearest, Argentina the furthest. I’m going to go against the grain with my predictions on this one and hope the Croats justify me backing of them to win Group D!
This one will be close though, with one, maybe two points separating the four teams.
