You know the hard group we got for World Cup 2018? Most of the pundits claimed this is Group of Death.
So I dug into data more to see if Iran's group is really the Group of Death in all aspects or not.
Turns out South Korea has as tough group as Iran, depending on how you look at it.
The result of data shows that:
As group of Club players, Group B(our group) has the hardest group. bc players of the opponent teams have higher market value + majority play in elite leagues(Top division of top 5 European leagues)
But as National teams, Group F (South Korea's group) teams have achieved more National team titles since World Cup 2014, compared to other groups.
Here is the Infographic, and this is the link to the article with more details:
