Here is a brief Group F preview for the World Cup. I will give my full tournament predictions on Wednesday and give a more in-depth preview of every World Cup match throughout the tournament.
Teams: Argentina, Bosnia, Iran, Nigeria
Group Overview: The group revolves around Argentina and Lionel Messi. Many regard Messi as the best player in the world but he hasn’t seen much success playing for his country. Argentina is one of the favorites to win the tournament. Bosnia and Herzegovina is taking part in their first major tournament as an independent country. Nigeria only finished with a draw and two losses in the 2010 World Cup including one to Argentina. Iran is making its fourth World Cup appearance.
Players to watch: Lionel Messi (Argentina), Edin Dzeko (Bosnia), Javad Nekounam (Iran), John Obi Mikel (Nigeria)
Prediction (win-draw-loss):
1. Argentina 3-0-0
2. Bosnia 2-0-1
3. Nigeria 0-1-2
4. Iran 0-1-2
