With a population of about 335,000, they are the smallest ever nation to qualify for the World Cup. The record was previously held by Trinidad and Tobago in 2006.
They were even drawn in the same group with Croatia in the qualification campaign and topped the group, two points clear of the Croatian team.
Coached by Heimir Hallgrimsson who is also a dentist, most of their players play in the top 5 leagues in Europe with the star player being Gylfi Sigurdsson of Everton and also the likes of Aron Gunnarsson and Johan Gudmundsson.
We all don’t give them a chance to qualify from this group despite their heroics at the last Euro Championship held in France.

CROATIA

Croatia became an independent nation following an independence referendum on October 8, 19,91 after the dissolution of Yugoslavia.
They made their debut in the France 1998 World Cup, where they finished 3rd and top striker Davor Suker finished as the highest goal scorer.
They secured qualification to Russia after beating Greece 4–1 on aggregate, boast some of the finest midfielders in Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic.

The ariel presence of Mario Mandzukic that can cause a threat to defenders. Dazzling runs from the flanks by Ivan Perisic should come in handy. Although he has his shortcomings, Dejan Lovren is expected to marshal the defence line properly.

If they actually make it out of this groups, no one outside of Croatia will bet on them going beyond the Round of 16.

NIGERIA
The Super Eagles of Nigeria, defied all odds to qualify for the world cup, despite being in the same group as Algeria, Zambia and Cameroon for the qualifiers.

Coached by the former manager of Bordeaux, Gernot Rohr, the team seem to have really improved, although they are yet to win any friendlies leading to the 2018 World Cup.

The team boasts of Mikel Obi, Victor Moses, Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi. If the right tactics are employed, this team can actually cause some damage.

Anything beyond the round of 16 should be a miracle for this team.

No matter the outcome, they can always be proud of the fact that they have the best-looking jersey at the 2018 World Cup (wink).

2018 World Cup Team Analysis — Groups D

ARGENTINA
The Albiceleste were on the verge of missing the Mundial after the shock retirement of Lionel Messi, who later reversed that decision and helped to qualify his country for Russia.

Losing finalist at the last edition to Germany, the team has been very poor when they miss Lionel Messi which was evident in their respective defeats to Nigeria and Spain. Always failing to strive well as a team despite being star-studded with fantastic players.

Mauro Icardi finished as the leading goal scorer in the Italian Serie A ahead of Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala but wasn’t picked in the final 23 man squad. They have also lost the first-choice goalkeeper Sergio Romero to a knee injury.

Some of our experts at Jolloftips tip them to reach the quarter-finals due to the attacking talents that abound in the squad. For others, it will be a miracle if they make it out of the group based on the assertions that Caballero won’t be a good deputy in goal, the defence line is very weak, no good defensive midfielder to shield the back four because Mascherano lacks pace, though despite having Lionel Messi, Higuain tends to miss more than he scores, Dybala is not consistent while Aguero might not be fully fit and the positive side is that the midfield is good.

They are also over-reliant on Lionel Messi and if he should be out due to unforeseen circumstances, they will greatly suffer
