Day 14 - Bosnia Herzegovina v Iran

Pre Match Thoughts
Namely that BH are one of those countries I can never spell right when I play geography games on Sporcle. They were unlucky to get fitted up by dodgy officiating in their game v Nigeria, defeat in which saw them knocked out. As their striker plays for Man City, I didn't shed many tears. Ah, pettiness, how I love thee.

Iran were also unlucky against Argentina, and with better finishing could have won. The brilliance of Messi saw them go empty handed, though, and it'll be interesting to see how they cope in a game where they need to chase goals.

The result hinges of how arsed BH are, I would guess. I sense heartbreak for the Persian princes: 1-1.

First Half
As before, Iran are missing any kind of cutting edge, now into two and a half games without a goal. BH decided to open the scoring themselves, with Dzeko (who I just slagged off above) showing his accurate shooting skills. 2-2 over in the other game.

Second Half
Iran tried their best, but it wasn't enough, and they live to regret not pushing Nigeria in the opening game. BH grabbed a second and looked in control until Iran sneaked one back... which seemed to rouse BH's anger, as they went right up the other end and score the final goal.

Result
3-1 to BH, while Nigeria go through alongside Argentina, despite losing 3-2.

Current Mood
Je suis fatigue. Merde.
