FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA 2018 Group D: Most Important Players
The very tricky fixture is shaping this group into a very interesting one. Group D needs some friendships to be on hold for the Cup when it comes to Croatia and Argentina. The teammates Ivan Rakitić and Lionel Messi. This will be an exciting group on the World Cup.
There might be surprises from Iceland and Nigeria too. And maybe they could change the outcome of the game, who knows.
#1 Argentina – Lionel Messi
Against Ecuador, Messi scored a hat-trick so Argentina can qualify for the World Cup. Messi had an outstanding performance well known as one of the best players in the world could have.
After losing three finals we hope that Messi will be determined to score some more goals and bring a bunch of wins so Argentina can take the trophy at home. His performance never fails, so let’s see how he’s going to show off.
#2 Iceland – Gylfi Sigurðsson
Being the smallest country to ever participate in a World Cup Iceland is going to make some history in Russia.
The leading goal scorer aboard with his dead ball skills will make him the biggest threat to whoever Iceland plays against. He has a goal scoring habit that makes so easy for the player to be one of the top goal scorers. Sigurdsson is the best chance of high profile player that Iceland has on the pitch.
#3 Croatia – Ivan Perišić
This might be the last year of having chance Croatian talents like Mario Mandžukić, Vedran Ćorluka, and Luka Modrić to play together on a Cup. Getting on the side of being 30 brings some bad news.
Perišić is believed to be the creator of chances to actually be the key to live up their title as Dark Horses. Years ago in the previous Cups, they used to underperform, but this year Croatia has Ivan Perišić on the left side of the midfield.
#4 Nigeria – Kelechi Iheanacho
Nigeria remained unbeaten during qualification, so they made some magic on the field indeed.
Even though Iheanacho didn’t have the best of debut season at Leicester he is ready to prove his worth and to show his impressive skills and performance. Expect that he will show the best of him for being the best player that Nigeria has.
Along with the skills of Iwobi, Moses, and Ndidi, they will hopefully get Nigeria to some higher position in this group if they have enough luck.
