Group D (Argentina, Croatia, Iceland, Nigeria) looks fun ! All the teams got their own unique style

Peru, Mexico and Argentina have tough groups. 

You're right Iceland it could be the sensation of the tournament, if they get rid of Argentina I want them to be champions

GROUP H: Poland, Colombia, Senegal, Japan

 

As a Pole, I'm so happy to finally make it back to the World Cup after 12 years, and with a much better team than we had in Germany. That being said, we got a manageable group, but a bit tricky. Colombia is going to be our toughest test no doubt. And Japan is fast on the counter-attack so they could surprise some people. We should still win against Japan and Senegal, and hoping for at least a draw with Colombia.

 

Either group D or F can be considered the dreaded "Group Of Death" but honestly I don't see a clear-cut group this year. Argentina and Germany will top their respective groups, but the rest are toss-up. I'm also jumping on the Iceland bandwagon. THE VIKING CLAP IS BADASS.

 

Finally, some exciting games within the groups. Most notably: Germany vs Mexico; Portugal vs Spain; France vs Denmark, and obviously Belgium vs England.

I don't see a group stronger than other, maybe group F, but for now the groups looks very even.

we got Russia, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia.. i am pretty happy and optimistic with our group and i have a feeling we can make it to the next round (second place after Uruguay maybe? ) 😛😂🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬 

[Shahanshah1991 135]

Anyone noticed that if it wasn't for the continental law ,the group B would be an all European?! (Spain-Portugal-Denmark-Serbia)

I really liked the groups. They all look evenly matched with a few minor exceptions. As a fan of Mexico, they have a tough group that i believe will come down to goal differential as to who moves on to the knockout stage. That being said, if Mexico does get 2nd place, they will most likely have to face (assuming they win their group) Brazil. Rough.

In the same group of Italy, Chile and USA.

Group F seems toughest

England landed quite an easy group there

As a Brazilian, the knock-out phase is giving me nightmares only thinking about it, I'm betting on Mexico in the Round-of-16 that always give Brazil trouble, England on the quarter-finals, Spain or France in semi and Argentina or Germany in the final.

I guess it's group F for me. Looking forward for Ger vs Swe and Ger vs Mexico
Adding SK, looks interesting

Noticed that too as soon as they draw Serbia.
What a group it would have been

 

Looking forward to play against our brothers.

I was happy when I see the group with Spain and Portugal gonna get Denmark as its 3rd pot (Danger Passed)  but then I was just like WTF!!!  😨

Why do I feel that group would be more interesting than majority of the groups we have?

Argentina doesn't work that much as a team like Germany, France, Spain or Brazil do to name a few countries, don't be surprised if they have a hard time making it to the next round.

I think Group H may be a bit more open actually, while I'd still expect them to top said group I wouldn't underestimate Columbia (who fimished ahead of argentina in qualifying) and even Senegal with Sadio Mane on point in the squad.  Likewise with Argentina, looking at the group I honestly don't think they'll qualify, they barely made it through the qualifiers, and there defence is a bit crap. They have Iceland first which I think will be a tough test for them.
