Reading the pundits take on Iceland’s chances is baffling. They write off their chances against, Argentina, which is fair enough. But then they say they have no chance against Croatia.

 

Croatia. Also known as the country Iceland beat and placed above in the qualifiers for this World Cup. Do some research before pretending you know shit, pundits. God damn.

Aye. Iceland won't be an easy game for anyone I think, got a very tight and disciplined unit with fantastic team spirit. The players work really for one another and it's hard to break them down. I had kind of written off their Euro glory as a fluke and a once in a lifetime thing, but they played fantastically in the World Cup qualifiers and deservedly won their group. Still think Argentina and Croatia will go through but anything can happen, Argentina and Croatia weren't exactly convincing during the qualifiers.

Yeah, I’m not saying I’m certain they’ll qualify. More that i’m incredibly annoyed at pundits saying Croatia is much stronger - makes me certain they don’t even know they were in the same qualifying group :lol:

Maybe we are listening to different pundits, but everyone I have heard has mentioned Group D as probably the most even and competitive in the tournament. Iceland are respected, though not favoured to advance.

 

Most of the pundits will not have seen Iceland (or Nigeria, tbf) play at all in this cycle. Croatia are favourites because they have big names at big clubs.

The amount of pundits out there makes it very likely we’ll have listened to different ones. You seem to have found reasonable pundits.

 

Honestly think that group is the hardest to call, mainly because Argentina hasn’t been showing great form. The other three teams are pretty even, so if there’s an early upset against Argentina the group will be wide open.
