Lol, first to comment indeed! I guess you are using glo? Argentina & Croatia have got a better record than us but we have more stars playing in top clubs than Croatia & Iceland, so we should fight to qualify with Argentina because its next to impossible for them not to do so. A win against Croatia on our first match is the most important thing that will determine our passage!

Sorry to break your bubble but Nigeria doesn't have more stars then Croatia. If you check transfermarkt you will see that Croatia's worth is a little more then 3 times that of Nigeria. Nigeria's most valuable players play in Leicester and China, while Croatia's are standard players in Real, Barcelona, Athletico, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli, Juventus, Monaco, Everton, Dynamo Kiev...

But then again, stars don't mean as much as teamwork, as Iceland has shown on the last Euro against England and others.

Hi all and greetings from Zagreb, Croatia. I just googled Nigerian forums to see what you guys think about the draw. Nigeria today is a complete mistery for me. I do remember Nigeria in the 90's and I loved your legendary and football romantic team with Okocha, Babayaro, Kanu, Babangida and the others. You were one of my favorite teams to pick on PES in those days. I don't know many of the new players, but even though they say your are not that team of big names anymore, be sure we are not underestimating Nigeria, and I think we have been handled a very though but also interesting group.

Thing is we still hold a grudge against Iceland, they are football dwarfs in our eyes, and have been so in everyone's eyes until last Euro when they played very exciting and interesting counter attack football. We played them 5 times in history, won 4 and lost 1. But that last loss was in the 90th minute in a game we dominated, and almost cost us the world cup. We want to revenge against them same as Argentina might be wanting to show you who is the boss.

Thats why I think our group may be the most interesting, we got two favorites that lost against the other two teams, and naturally want revenge. Then on the other side, we got two teams that very recently won against those favorites, and showed themselves and everyone it can be done.

Anyway I wish you all the best, and may the best team win. Meaning Croatia ofc
