Group D Thread - Iceland, Argentina, Croatia, Nigeria

[Zamboor]

A major advice! If you want to know what time each game is just google Group D World Cup Schedule and Google should show the group, each game,
and time start for each game in YOUR SPECIFIC TIMEZONE.

Group D kicks off tomorrow as well!

Croatia against Nigeria

Argentina vs Iceland

[Leicester City]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL


ICELAND=IRAN basically with this group that they are in! They are basically in the 2014 version of our group

Some similarity to group from 2014. Iceland debutant. First game vs Argentina. = same as Bosnia in 2014. Second place finish to play France? Nigeria? (Same as 2014).
I do not think Iceland are like Iran. Iceland do not have the football pedigree of Iran. they are for most part group bottom feeders. Only recently they managed to put 3 past Turkey in Istanbul and beat England 2-1 at Euro 2016. Where as Iran are Asian powerhouse throughout the history. Also Croatia and Bosnia are worlds apart, even though they are neighboring countries; same language.

Something that Iran has never managed to do.

Boy I hope Iceland wins this somehow! Though I know Messi will score, he can't be stopped.

[Leicester City]

Iceland will win 2-1!

Lol no dybala ? Are they crazy

[Azeem98]

Iceland very defensive here. 4-5-1 it seems.

[Azeem98]

Caballero over Armani!?!?

[Azeem98]

Hoping, Iceland can take an advantage in the aerial game. In average, they side are 6 cm taller and this probably explains why Rojo is playing in defence, and Masch is in the midfield.

considering Iceland´s aerial game, Armani should´ve been the keeper here.

[Bessos]

I hope Argentina and Croatia make it out of the group.

[Leicester City]

Damn Argentina got lucky
