We have the group of death...always did which is weird for the past 20 odd years :francis:
Aint no group of death :rudy:



Iceland don’t worry me, Croatia could be a problem but they’ve flopped at every WC since their semifinal appearance in 98. I think 5 points probably gets us through, we should come second with an outside chance at top. Pretty happy with our group, really liked us to get to the quarters only problem is if we come second probably play France in the knockouts :sadcam:

Looking at the chart I gave you which other group is tougher. I can call them now with probably one or two errors..

Group A: Uruguay and Egypt
Group B: Portugal and Spain
Group C: France and Peru
Group E: Brazil and costa Rica
Group F: Germany and south Korea
Group G: England and Belgium
Group H: Colombia and Japan

Nigeria and Argentina are meeting now 5 times in the world cup.
Iceland smacked England around and has momentum
Croatia smacked Spain around and has some of of the best midfield player makers in the world.

Please lemme know a tougher group

Very Very possible...that's why I said I was sure of about 2 errors. Mexico is because technically they have the most losses in the world cup I think usually due to bad luck not lack of skill

Like I said in the draw thread Iceland will get exposed this WC. Theyve been getting results against nothing but mediocre ass Euros, but will crash back to earth.

well it's this tournaments group of death
Toughest group is Group B.

Spain
Portugal
Morocco
Iran

Morocco didnt give up a goal their entire qualifying run and qualified out of a tough group. Iran will also be tougher to beat than people think they never give up goals and have had the same manager for 6 years.

the belly of the empire
Nigeria and Argentina are making it out of Group D.

I see a lot of cacs overrating Croatia. :mjlol:


why do people undersell Nigeria so much?:mjpls: They're the best CAF team.




I also see people underselling Senegal, like they can't win against Japan

Like Senegal doesn't have Sadio Mane.

Senegal and Colombia are making it out of that group.
