Doesn't matter how bad he looks, Little Pea can always net one. After all he has God on his side...

Chicharito can be abysmal the whole game and some how score...
Oh shit! Bosnia with the goal!
 
Wow, Bosnia is really good. I like them.

They're big and strong as hell and they play so well together. It's like they know where each and every teammate is at all times. Very nice.

Suddenly, Argentina's group isn't a cakewalk anymore. Bosnia WILL give them trouble.
 
When Bosnia get their shit together they can always deliver. Hopefully egos will be in check so that they can continue to play like team tonight.
 
Wow looks like i have to consider all my pick em's involving Bosnia-Herzegovina.
 
You can never sleep on the former Yugoslavia countries. They always bring solid well rounded teams. Makes me wonder why Yugoslavia never won a world cup with how solid teams like Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia and now Bosnia have been.
 
If Yugoslavia was still together, I'm sure they would have by now.
 
I thought Nigeria had a decent chance of making it out of the group but all this talk about Bosnia has me thinking we wont make it through.

2 things went against Yugoslavia. During the 90's they produced an amazing crop of talent, but as that happened they got banned from competing, and then all the great players they had got spread out amongst the former republics ( croatia, montenegro, serbia etc )

in the 90's they would have had the likes of


Sinisa Mihijlavic, Savo Milosovic, Pedrag Mijatovic, Dragan Stojkovic etc from Serbia

The Croatian Golden generation, Boban, Prosinecki, Suker etc.

Plus all the players from the other republics.

If they had been allowed to compete and stayed as Yugoslavia in t he 90's they would have been a force.

Also, it seems they started producing REALLY good players just as they broke up. Prior to the mid 90s they were solid (lost in the quarters in 1990 on PKs) but not nearly as talented as what they would have been from about 1996 on.

Though, to be honest, Croatia has better names but they've underwhelmed in the friendlies. Wouldn't shock me to see them not make it out of their group.

It also wouldn't shock me to see Bosnia make the quarters.
