Argentina and Bosnia will advance, but i think there is some chance that Nigeria could replace Bosnia in second place.

These Iran kits are really cool. Unfortunately they can't afford to swap shirts after matches and the whole thing is really poor quality.

Wow Iran can't swap shirts!? That's ridiculous. I assume they are providing the players with hotels, travel, food and one kit. We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions in costs, but they concern themselves of what, about $1000-1500 in jerseys a game for something that is tradition in soccer? That just doesn't make sense.

Nigeria GK & midfield are good, the attack with Musa, Moses, & Emenike is pretty strong, but its the **** defense that will be the death of them... Joesph Yobo is way past it.

3-5-2 fits Argentina really well.

_______________ Romero ________________

______ Fern _____ Garay ______ Rojo _____

_____________ Mascherano ______________

Zabaleta __ Biglia _____ Ricky ____ Di Maria

__________ Messi _____ Aguero ___________

Pretty similar to Argentina 86. Perez or Gago could start too. Banega would fit this scheme perfectly too. Lavezzi can sub in on Zabaleta's place when they're losing and go full attack, othe full attack option is to take either one of Biglia/Ricky for Palacio/Higuain and push Masch to a CM position. Other option os to play Mascherano on the back line and put Gago in for a more passing team.

Just the fact that Messi and Aguero are playing close to their best positions is great.

Great design for Argentinian's pieces.

Argentina should win but I expect a solid showing from Bosnia. They are a solid team that will hopefully finish 2nd in this group.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

I don't watch him usually, but everytime I watch Argentina play, he plays really well. He's really good at least with Argentina.
