The coach of Iceland's national team Heimler Hadlgrimsson gave his assessment of the results of the draw for the future World Cup, which in 2018 will be hosted by Russia.

The coach took the joke with a joke, especially noting the Croatian national team.

"It seems that we are with Croatia, like a married couple. But after the World Cup we plan to divorce. Match with Argentina is the best congratulation for us on World Cup. We are really looking forward to starting the game with them.. Our fans will become stars at the World Cup. I hope, we will continue to make people happy, "- quotes the words of Hadlgrimsson AP.

Recall that after the draw, Iceland was in Group D, where its opponents are: Argentina, Croatia and Nigeria. It should be noted that Iceland and Croatia were rivals in qualifying for the world championship - then they exchanged home victories. It is interesting that in this selection group at the 2018 World Cup there was also the Ukrainian team, which failed to make it to Mundial, taking third place.

The World Championship will be held from June 14 to July 15, 2018. Iceland will open the debut World Cup on June 16 with a match against Argentina.
