Heat looks to be affecting everyone today. Can you imagine what the Qatar WC would be like if it happens?

Billy86 · 22-06-2014 12:13am

Come on Ibisevic! Should be Dzeko off though. No exaggeration at all to say he has been Nigeria's best player.

keano_afc · 22-06-2014 12:13am

Is this the first time this Bosnian back four have played together? Genuinely look lost.

Billy86 · 22-06-2014 12:14am

58th minutr and Lulic is off... about 57mins, 48secs too late

Timmyctc · 22-06-2014 12:15am

Ah heor. Emineke just got away with an elbow in the back of Spahic. Whatever about "strength" he just plain pushed him. Lenient refereeing in Nigeria's favour today.

AllGunsBlazing · 22-06-2014 12:15am

Spahic wants to go home now.

Argentina couldn't touch them for about 70 minutes.

The only difference between then and now is that I had money on Argentina then, and have on Bosnia now.

Tomorrow I will be backing Belgium. Put everything you own on Russia to win.

LightningBlue · 22-06-2014 12:17am

Begovic keeping Bosnia in this. They look out on their feet.

keano_afc · 22-06-2014 12:17am

Yeah Spahic is struggling, but Emunike is fouling the crap out of him.

I'm not saying Nigeria would be experienced in bribery or anything, but...

Billy86 · 22-06-2014 12:19am

Dzeko gets the job done again there.

vidor · 22-06-2014 12:19am

Dzeko looks so awkward.

Lucifer MorningStar · 22-06-2014 12:19am

Dzeko is just awful

I mean, the way its going it looks like Bosnia could score a goal and It would probably be disallo.....

Nevermind :pac:

Billy86 · 22-06-2014 12:20am

The ball never went out of play there.

AllGunsBlazing · 22-06-2014 12:21am

It's just silly now.

Nuri Sahin · 22-06-2014 12:23am

Playing roulette is a safer than betting on this World Cup.

Timmyctc · 22-06-2014 12:24am

This refereeing is abysmal. The referring in the tournament as a whole has been abysmal

Billy86 · 22-06-2014 12:24am

Who is commentating? WTF is he on about!? Dzeko unhappy about not getting enough service!? He's spent the first hour getting more service than Hugh Hefner but needed even more assistance with his finishing.

I have found that they got most decisions right in most games but unfortunately their errors get a lot more attention.

I get a hunch your not a fan of Dzeko Billy?

Exchange khakis for kits.

Billy86 · 22-06-2014 12:28am

Dzeko ducked under the ball!!

Timmyctc · 22-06-2014 12:30am

Its absolutely pathetic seeing players sit with one leg on the pitch to receive treatment just to disrupt play.

murpho999 · 22-06-2014 12:30am

Good move by Begovic there. Dragging play actor off the pitch.

vidor · 22-06-2014 12:30am

Here comes the equaliser...

LightningBlue · 22-06-2014 12:30am

Begovic was right to be fair.
He's a half a yard from the sideline. Nothing stopping him getting off the pitch. Officials have been poor.

IvySlayer · 22-06-2014 12:30am

Begovic

:D:D

vidor · 22-06-2014 12:30am

Or not.

For you maybe. I'm still bullish about my 'Dzeko for top premiership scorer' bet...

LightningBlue · 22-06-2014 12:32am

Pjanic the only threat for Bosnia.

Billy86 · 22-06-2014 12:33am

Dzeko will score an equaliser in the 93rd minute losing both Nigerian and Bosnian backers all their money, flu off the camera, and sulk his way home. After Casillas vs Holland, the worst performance anyone had had all tournament.

murpho999 · 22-06-2014 12:34am

Amazed how Bosnia have changed.

Playing as if they don't realise that they'll be out of the WC if they lose.

vidor · 22-06-2014 12:34am

Bosnia have been awful this half, look clueless up front.

Must be disheartening for players like Besic and Pjanic navigating the ball from defence to attack only to pass to a completely uninterested and sulking Dzeko.

LightningBlue · 22-06-2014 12:37am

Absolutely brutal referee. No consistency at all.

Timmyctc · 22-06-2014 12:40am

This is why they should have a stopped clock. Or at least proper ejudicated additional time. Emineke stopped the whole show for the ref to run 60 yards and help him to his feet. Pathetic.

Billy86 · 22-06-2014 12:40am

Dzeko deserve es to be made a national pariah over his attitude today, for the next few weeks anyway. I can only imagine what it must feel like to be Bosnian watching him disgrace himself.

As I type this he gets the ball in the box and kicks it away to nowhere, first time. It's like watching a 6 year old who has not got his way.
