2014 FIFA World Cup: Group F (ARG/BIH/IRN/NGA)

Post #441 » by **ATL Boy** » Sun Jun 22, 2014 3:55 pm

Pjanic has created 10 chances so far this tournament, more than any other player. Bosnia created 20 chances last night against Nigeria, more than any other team in any other game.

haha that would be awsome!

And too bad ref disallowed that goal because they would've held a positive result (draw most likely).

But BiH didn't deserve a victory. This is classical Yugoslavia from 1982 & 1984 which is better than most opponents, but physically and tactically isn't up to par. And of course with a few privileged players.

And it's always the refs fault. I remember Serbia complaining about the refs vs Australia in 2010, Croatia did the same thing with Croatia against Spain 2 years ago and against Australia.

Balkan teams need to drop that "Always the victims, it's never our fault" mentality.

Yea, cause the linesman was spot on right here

don't think that was the point of his post. instead being stuck in that moment you gotta move on from the bad call and get the job done. even one point would've put bosnia in pretty good position but they were punchless.

I agree, our players are very mentally weak, especially Dzeko. The only ones that showed any heart were Besic, Pjanic, Sunjic, and Hajrovic. But that still doesn't excuse the monumental impact of the call, or make it right that it was made. I mean, the linesman was literally in perfect position to see that it wasn't offside, and he didn't even raise his flag until Dzeko put it in the net.

Lol Dzeko mentally weak. The guy won championships in Germany and England. He's the only player in the Bosnian squad who has actually won something(along with Misimovic.)

So that makes him strong mentally? LOL. He was moping around for the entire match after the disallowed goal, and ran the least amount of distance out of anybody who played 90 minutes. On a play in the first half where Pjanic's shot went off the goalie, Dzeko could've had an opportunity for a rebound had he tracked the play, but instead he was found walking around outside the penalty area having already given up on the play. He then went on to attack all the fans who had criticized him, after the match. Dude's psyche is made of glass.

Asia or Africa will finally have a team in the round of 16 after today.

Messi has never scored against a African team.

Messi strikes again. Always in the right place at the right time.

Still expect Arg to win though...just hope Iran and Bos can bore themselves to a draw

Emenike needs more of the ball, beautiful strike by Musa... nga defense looks so shaky.

FIFA should investigate this flop.

Argentina has been very dissapointing so far, only Di Maria is creating chances.

Another goal from Messi after the 45 minutes of the half. Incredible.

Who advances from Group F?
