Group H feels like a real group of death.
Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea is a fascinating group that could have a shock or two coming.

Kudus scored a superb goal against Liverpool at Anfield earlier this season and the Reds are seemingly taking a close look at him.
There has been some Kudus-based drama ahead of today’s Ghana game though.
