\"\"<\/p>\n

Group D is one of the most fascinating groups in this year\u2019s W. Cup as it includes Argentina, Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria. Here\u2019s our preview of each team and whether they\u2019ll progress through the group stage or not.<\/p>\n

Argentina<\/h2>\n

World Ranking:<\/strong> 4<\/p>\n

Star Player:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lionel Messi<\/p>\n

Coach:<\/strong>\u00a0 Jorge Sampaoli<\/p>\n

Best Finish:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Winners (1978, 1986)<\/p>\n

It came down to the final matchday, but Argentina finally qualified for the W. Cup, thanks to Lionel Messi. He scored seven goals in qualifying (no other Argentine player scored more than 2) and he\u2019ll be vital to any hope of success this summer. Their team is one of the most unbalanced in the tournament, with a wealth of attackers, but very few defenders or midfielders of note. On top of that, Willy Caballero will replace the injured Sergio Romero in goal and it only adds to more uncertainty. There\u2019s a chance that they might not make it through the group.<\/p>\n

Squad\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeepers:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Willy Caballero (Chelsea), Franco Armani (River Plate), Nahuel Guzman (Tigres)<\/p>\n

Defenders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gabriel Mercado (Sevilla), Federico Fazio (Roma), Nicolas Otamendi (Manchester City), Marcos Rojo (Manchester United), Nicolas Tagliafico (Ajax), Javier Mascherano (Hebei China Fortune), Marcos Acuna (Sporting CP), Cristian Ansaldi (Torino)<\/p>\n

Midfielders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ever Banega (Sevilla), Lucas Biglia (AC Milan), Angel Di Maria (Paris Saint-Germain), Giovani Lo Celso (Paris Saint-Germain), Manuel Lanzini (West Ham), Cristian Pavon (Boca Juniors), Maximiliano Meza (Independiente), Eduardo Salvio (Benfica),<\/p>\n

Forwards:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Gonzalo Higuain (Juventus), Paulo Dybala (Juventus) Sergio Aguero (Manchester City),<\/p>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No nation has featured in more W. Cup penalty shootouts than Argentina. They have won four out of five.<\/p>\n

Odds:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 17\/2<\/a><\/p>\n

Iceland<\/h2>\n

World Ranking:<\/strong> 22<\/p>\n

Star Player:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gylfi Sigurdsson<\/p>\n

Coach:<\/strong>\u00a0 Heimir Hallgrimsson<\/p>\n

Best Finish:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Never qualified<\/p>\n

Everyone remembers Iceland\u2019s debut on the international stage at Euro 2016, with their \u201cthunder clap\u201d and victory over England. However, this will be their first-ever W. Cup and there\u2019ll be plenty of eyes on them, especially as this is one of the more open groups in the tournament. They played Croatia in qualifying, beating them once and losing once. If they make it out of the group, then it\u2019ll be a hugely successful debut for them. Victory over Argentina would certainly equal their win over England in 2016.<\/p>\n

Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeepers:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hannes Halldorsson (Randers), Runar Runarsson (Nordsjaelland), Frederik Schram (Roskilde)<\/p>\n

Defenders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kari Arnason (Aberdeen), Ari Skulason (Lokeren), Birkir Saevarsson (Valur), Sverrir Ingason (Rostov), Hordur Magnusson (Bristol City), Holmar Eyjolfsson (Levski Sofia), Ragnar Sigursson (Rostov)<\/p>\n

Midfielders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Johann Gudmundsson (Burnley), Birkir Bjarnason (Aston Villa), Arnor Traustason (Malmo), Emil Hallfredsson (Udinese), Gylfi Sigurdsson (Everton), Olafur Skulason (Karabukspor), Rurik Gislason (Sandhausen), Samuel Fridjonsson (Valarenga), Aron Gunnarsson (Cardiff City)<\/p>\n

Forwards:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alfred Finnbogason (Augsburg), Bjorn Sigurdarson (Rostov), Jon Bodvarsson (Reading), Albert Gudmundsson (PSV Eindhoven),<\/p>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Iceland are the smallest ever nation to qualify for the W. Cup. With a population of approximately 335,000, they take the record from Trinidad and Tobago (1.3m), who reached the 2006 tournament in Germany.<\/p>\n

Odds:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 200\/1<\/a><\/p>\n

Croatia<\/h2>\n

World Ranking:<\/strong> 17<\/p>\n

Star Player:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Luka Modric<\/p>\n

Coach:<\/strong>\u00a0 Zlatko Dalic<\/p>\n

Best Finish:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3rd<\/sup> place, 1998<\/p>\n

Croatia are an underrated team and there\u2019s a good chance that they could top this group, considering there\u2019s no outstanding team in it. There\u2019s plenty of midfield depth and it\u2019s likely that this\u2019ll be the last tournament with Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic anchoring it. If they make it through the group stage, they\u2019ll be underdogs against whoever they play in the knockout game, but they\u2019ll prove to be very tough opposition.<\/p>\n

Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeepers:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Daniel Subasic (Monaco), Lovre Kalinic (Gent), Dominik Livakovic (Dinamo Zagreb)<\/p>\n

Defenders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Vedran Corluka (Lokomotiv Moscow), Domagoj Vida (Besiktas), Ivan Strinic (Sampdoria), Dejan Lovren (Liverpool), Sime Vrsaljko (Atletico Madrid), Josip Pivaric (Dynamo Kiev), Tin Jedvaj (Bayer Leverkusen), Duje Caleta-Car (Red Bull Salzburg)<\/p>\n

Midfielders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Luka Modric (Real Madrid), Mateo Kovacic (Real Madrid), Ivan Rakitic (Barcelona), Milan Badelj (Fiorentina), Marcelo Brozovic (Internazionale), Filip Bradaric (Rijeka)<\/p>\n

Forwards:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Mario Mandzukic (Juventus), Ivan Perisic (Internazionale), Nikola Kalinic (AC Milan), Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim), Marko Pjaca (Schalke), Ante Rebic (Eintracht Frankfurt)<\/p>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Davor Suker was the only Croatian to feature in Pele\u2019s list of the 125 greatest players of all time, selected back in 2004 to mark FIFA\u2019s 100th<\/sup> anniversary.<\/p>\n

Odds:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 33\/1<\/a><\/p>\n

Nigeria<\/h2>\n

World Ranking:<\/strong> 50<\/p>\n

Star Player:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Victor Moses<\/p>\n

Coach:<\/strong>\u00a0 Gernot Rohr<\/p>\n

Best Finish:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Round of 16 (1994, 1998, 2014)<\/p>\n

This\u2019ll be Nigeria\u2019s sixth appearance at the W. Cup finals and they topped their qualifying group, which also included Cameroon and Algeria. There\u2019s plenty of known talent in their ranks and you can expect to see Victor Moses playing higher up the pitch than he does for Chelsea. Alex Iwobi is also in their squad, as is ex-Watford striker Odion Ighalo, while Blues\u2019 fans will also remember John Obi Mikel. They\u2019ve reached the knockout stage three times before, but it\u2019ll be tough if they want to make it a fourth.<\/p>\n

Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeepers:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Francis Uzoho (Deportivo La Coruna), Ikechukwu Ezenwa (Enyimba FC), Daniel Akpeyi (Chippa United)<\/p>\n

Defenders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 William Troost-Ekong (Bursaspor), Abdullahi Shehu (Bursaspor), Tyronne Ebuehi (Ado Den Haag), Elderson Echiejile (Cercle Brugge), Brian Idowu (Amkar Perm), Chidozie Awaziem (Nantes), Leon Balogun (Mainz), Kenneth Omeruo (Kasimpasa),<\/p>\n

Midfielders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 John Obi Mikel (Tianjin TEDA), Ogenyi Onazi (Trabzonspor), Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester), Oghenekaro Etebo (Las Palmas), John Ogu (Hapoel Be\u2019er Sheva), Joel Obi (Torino)<\/p>\n

Forwards:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow), Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester), Victor Moses (Chelsea), Odion Ighalo (Changchun Yatai), Alex Iwobi (Arsenal), Simeon Nwankwo (Crotone)<\/p>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nigeria have been drawn in the same group as Argentina in five of their last six W. Cups.<\/p>\n

Odds:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 200\/1<\/a><\/p>\n
