Welcome to the Who Cares Guide to Croatia v Nigeria World Cup Group D Action. The Gurgler’s quick and easy guide for the fmatch up of two teams at the 2018 FIFA World Cup that we can always know more about.
We’ve gone to the minimal of effort, so you can go to even less to keep up to date.
Sure you can go to many, far better websites, blogs, and endless TV shows of varying quality, but none will attempt to put it in the style you want. As little effort as possible.
We’ll throw in some barely interesting stats that you can roll off at work, home, or even to the cyclists that you’ve just abused for riding three wide down a tight backstreet only to be given the finger.
Conveniently, due to our own apathy, you can come here for both the preview and review. So come back for a review of the game you can use quickly.
So onwards then, to the Croatia v Nigeria World Cup Group D Action.

How Should I Watch It?

Catch Up? (Check the Score and the Group table and move on)
Catch Up, the last of four games in a row. if you can stay up, and you’ve got no dependents, partner or a will to do much on Sunday except for do it all over again, then help yourself to a fourth game in a row. We salute you.
The story…
We wish we knew more about these teams. Croatia have big names, Nigeria have a few as well that people will know from the EPL, but it is those ones you don’t quite know that will make the difference. Croatia look the likely winners as they push for the probable second place behind Argentina., but Nigeria are at least capable of annoyance, if not an upset.
And who knows, if Argentina choke and one of these teams can get to top spot, they then play Group C runner up and a World Cup run could be coming like Croatia’s first cup in 1998 in France.
Players to Watch
Luka Modric (Croatia) – Victor Moses (Nigeria)
