LMAO Stevenovic at RB. That goal they scored was so slowww build up just shows how bad our defense is
IMO Kolasinac is playing the best so far even tho he missed that chance, hes showing the best workrate.
1st half is over. players that played the worst Stevenovic,Ahmedhodzic, Dzeko. Kolasinac and Prevljak played the best . If our defense wasnt ball watching and didnt have the reaction time of 50 year olds the score line still would be 0-0. Ukraine dont look that dangerous on the attack tbh.
Anyone else notice that the enthusiasm for the NT is at a all time low? I see no one on my social media repping BIH kits or even sharing anything about the match compared to 4-5 years ago. Dijaspora
We slowed down after the goal. Kind of disappointing we were playing so good...should of continued and finish them off
After everything Bosnia is in the best position at this point to take the playoff spot, assuming you survive the last few moments of stoppage time here. Really surprised by how poor Ukraine has been. Two home games against your direct rivals to finish group play. If Bosnia doesn't take this opportunity, they will regret it because they will not get another one like this. EDIT: Now that I think of it you haven't actually been that bad this cycle. Only the home game against Kazakhstan was really a below par result. Honestly Ukraine has been piss-poor and Finland... well they've been okay I guess but they've only beaten Kazakhstan too. You guys would deserve it if you advanced.
The cool thing about this draw is that now we don't absolutely need to beat both Finland and Ukraine BUT we should still go for the win in both games regardless otherwise we will lose at least one of them. A full Bilino Polje would be crucial but that's not going to be possible because of COVID unfortunately.
Say we do get 2nd place. How does the 2nd round qualifcations look like do we just need to beat 1 more country to qualify ?
It's a semi-final and final format whereby we will face a team once in the semi-final and another team once in the final if we progress. In other words, there are no longer two-legged playoffs (home, away).
I mean if things currently stand as is these are the teams i think we have a chance at beating. Everyone else would be a miracle. Romania, Denmark, Poland, Norway, Czech Republic,Scotland, Sweden
I highly doubt we could overcome any of them, we simply don't have the mentality and the wheels to finish strong. I believe going forward the only way we can qualify is by finishing first like we did in 2013 (the only time we qualified). On the plus side, this is the first qualifying campaign since the 2014 qualifiers that we've managed to stay unbeaten away from home though we only won in Kazakhstan.
