Qualified through first place in UEFA WC Qualifying Group G
1st World Cup Appearance
GREAT draw for this team. Their first World Cup, and they'll be in the knockout stages, as Iran isn't good and Nigeria isn't going to beat them. Argentina and Bosnia will be a really good game, but I expect Messi and co. to win that one, though it will be close. This team really has to be pleased, as they probably were just happy to be here going in to the tournament and destroying the opposition in qualifying. I am really excited to see Pjanic, Dzeko, and Begovic, who are top players in their leagues.
Edin Dzeko-Striker for Manchester City, and is wasteful, but what striker isn't? He's got the great goal in him, but will mainly be counted on to win balls in the air, and definitely will have to pot a few goals. 60 appearances, 33 goals, aged 28. He's so good around goal.
Miralem Pjanic-Midfielder for Roma, and man this guy is good. He's so fun to watch, and really makes it look easy. He can score, but his passing is the most impressive part of his game for me. Aged 24, 46 appearances, 8 goals.
Senad Lulic-Plays for Lazio in the Serie A in Italy. I think he's going to be very important to Bosnia's success. 33 appearances, 1 goal, and is 28 years old. Needs to hold down the midfield with Pjanic.
Second place finish in the group, and they'll be fun to watch. I think they'll be eliminated in the round of 16, but they are on the right track to sustained success.
