Nigeria and Argentina were drawn in Group D of the 2018 World Cup, following the draw in Moscow, Russia on Friday. It will be the fifth time both nations have been drawn together in the same group in FIFA’s elite competition.
So, this got Nigerians talking on social media, and #YourSportsMemo has some of the best reactions.
We’re beating Argentina again. Let’s get ready for the World Cup. #worldcupdraws

Group D is hard tbh!
Iceland and Croatia are never to be written off.

All things considered, even with the Argentina draw, Group D is about as kind a draw as could have been hoped for. Of the African sides, Morocco probably have it worst, although playing the easiest game (in theory) first gives them chance to get on the board early. #WorldCupDraw

Buhari needs to address this draw urgently. Is it by force to play Argentina in the World Cup?
