Group D is a genuine battle between Germany and Morocco, with both teams fully capable of topping the group. Germany's humbling at Qatar 2022 — exiting in the group stage again — has refocused the nation around a new generation of players. Morocco, led by their Atlas Lion spirit, shocked the world in Qatar and will relish the challenge of another major side. Iran will be disciplined and dangerous; Costa Rica have shown at previous World Cups they can cause upsets. This is a group where the table could look very different after matchday one.
