The so-called ‘Group of Death’ for the 2018 World Cup appears to be Group D, with Argentina, Croatia, Nigeria and Iceland all fighting to reach the knockout stages.

Argentina head to Russia among the favourites with Lionel Messi looking to finally win the top prize in world football, though Messi & Co. face a tough task just getting out of their group.

Croatia are many fans’ dark horses for the competition, while a strong Nigeria side and Iceland — who knocked England out of Euro 2016 despite their tiny population — make up perhaps the most entertaining group of the tournament for neutrals.
