FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 - Group H

We are down to the final group of the 2018's FIFA World Cup. And I believe both the cinderella story and the biggest dissappointment will emerge from these four teams.

But before that, my favourite for first place is Colombia. The cafeteros have a nice mixture of youth and experience. Few of the players, including coaches led by Pekerman, were part of a historic 2014 WC for Colombia. Ospina, Zapata, Cuadrado and James are back and well reinforced with a top players like Falcao and young but talented defenders like Mina, Sanchez and Arias. Colombia will face Japan in their debut, a nation they crushed 4-1 in 2014. Then Senegal, whom also met in 2014 but in a 2-2 friendly match. Finally, the south americans will face Poland, which have played each other five times (all friendlies).

For me, Senegal is due to their second cinderella story after the quarter finals reached in 2002. I think that Mane, leading the attack, and Koulibaly, holding the defense, will bring this team to the next round and actually have a pretty good chance to defeat either England or Belgium. Their debut is the first match ever against Poland and they will also face for the third time Japan after two friendly matches wins.

One of the biggest let downs in this WC will be Poland. Most of the players have experience in the best european leagues, but for me Lewandowsky, Milik, Glik and company wont do the job against Senegal and Colombia. Probably, they will succeed versus Japan, even though the Asian side won both friendlies in 1996 and 2002.

Will Poland prove me wrong?
