    This article will describe it better than I can https://reprezentacija.ba/313663-bih-zavisi-od-finske-i-grcke-u-borbi-za-treci-sesir but basically it comes to down to our coefficient ranking. Greece and Finland are nipping at our heels.

    Tell me we’re not the most underachieving of these countries to not make a Euro... again, embarrassing. We have world class players and none of these countries do. We shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as them but since we have ineptitude that trumps our talent, here we are.

    The thing is we have world-class players compared to those nations on the list but not compared to most of those that have qualified. Of the better teams in Europe, only Iceland (choked in Balkan style against Hungary despite leading for most of the game), Slovenia and Serbia failed to qualify. I remember back in 2016, most foreign media were listing us as the biggest absentees of Euro 2016 (that's when nations like Holland and Greece hadn't made it). Now we are the forgotten ones, that's what happens when you do ******** all in qualifiers for 6 years.

    We easily have the best squad that didn’t make it to the Euros. It sucks to see.

    Kola is so much better defensively. Should be on all the time.

    Good play by Ahmedhodžić with the slide. That's how they should have done it last game instead of allowing easy chances.

    Good half. One huge mistake made by #13(who is that?) as he couldn't lift the ball over opposing player and basically ended up giving them a free route to the net. Overall though i like some of these guys(Ahmedhodzic with a few good plays, looks comfortable with the ball too). The only negative is that they should be making plays a bit faster(they're too easy to figure out because they are thinking too much and not moving fast enough).

    That foul was bs. Barely touched the guy..basically the guy slipped and ref didn't care at all(just saw him going down).

    Good sequence there by Costa Rica. That's how we should be moving the ball..Quick tempo without taking so long.

    Nah, found one. Costa Rica with a few dangerous chances but overall i like how they are playing. This opponent is better than Finland imo(just based on their play)...Aside from needing faster decision making we've done good here.

    Another great example on how to defend. Why did some of these guys not start?

    Costa Rica extremely aggressive with their pressure on our d(5 of their players near our d). That means our forwards should be more open but these guys still keep moving ball quite slow.

    Kola off. Pidro on. Makes sense as Kola will probably start next game so no need to take risks.

    Wasted chance. We haven't been able to lift the ball over their guys in so many plays here..Maybe something they should really be working on...Like every practice non stop..

    What do you think about Hadziahmetovic? I haven't followed for awhile, is he able to take over Besic's duties?
