World Cup is just around the corner and FIFA has recently conducted it's Wolrd Cup 2018 Draw on Friday in Russia. Every qualified nation has found their opponents in the group stage and seems a very decent draw. However, there are certain strong matches that we are going to see in the group stage.
Argentina is placed with Iceland, Nigeria, and Croatia in the Group D which seems tougher than the other groups and is also termed as 'Group Of Death'. Nonetheless, Group C looks stronger and tougher on the paper as it features France, Australia, Peru, and Denmark.
Euro 2016 winner under the captaincy of Balon D'or 2016-17 winner Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal will be taking against World Cup 2010 winner Spain in the Group C. Host Russia could get more easier opponent but could have been a lot worse as they are placed beside Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Uruguay. England won't have a relieved group stage game as they will be facing Belgium.
Here is the complete World Cup 2018 draw:
Group A: Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Uruguay
Group B: Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran
Group C: France, Australia Peru, Denmark
Group D: Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria
Group E: Brazil, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia
Group F: Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea
Group G: Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England
Group H: Poland, Senegal, Colombia, Japan
