Bosnia is having a horrible EURO 2016 campaign

[Kiarash]

Just checked up their progress and results which I do from time to time. In the previous match day they lost 1-2 against Cyprus at home and now they tied 0-0 to Wales.

This all brings me to one question: why we couldn't beat Bosnia at the World Cup? I am really curious why we couldn't, since Wales and Cyprus are really not better than us. Yet we lost 3-1 in a game where we should have tied AT LEAST. It raises many questions how easily we gave up that day.

I agree its the past and we should move on but this Bosnia team is either very inconsistent or simply not as good as we think they are.

Many factors really.

The World Cup is a different beast, quite incomparable with a Euro Qualifier match. So much more stress and pressure, especially for our players that still had a chance to qualify for the 2nd round. Also, Bosnia had absolutely no pressure whatsoever as they were eliminated. Finally CQ's overly defensive approach to the match cost us on the tactical plan.

And Wales is arguably stronger than us IMO.

And their goalie punched the referee after getting a red card.

i keep saying this and people dont think its true....but only reason they won is because they had nothing to fight for...therefore they played relax and we were super careful. the game is completely different when you have something to fight for and are nervous of letting in goals. makes a big difference

Did you also watch those matches?

I just finished watching Bosnia against Wales. Bosnia was the better side today. Against Cyprus, they were missing chances left and right. In the final minutes of that game they hit the post and even missed a PK.

I did not watch the game since I only check them up from time to time like I said. So I wasn't aware of that, but result wise losing to Cyprus at home 1-2 is just not good. Surely any team can have a bad day like Iran losing to Lebanon, but in my opinion losing to Bosnia at the World Cup was totally avoidable.

Yeah, so was Argentina..but we deserved to beat them and we almost did.

no i am basically saying we lost because cq did not believe in us. when a coach does not believe in his players the p-layers wont believe in themselves. tm played one decent and two very bad games at the world cup.

Don't know, maybe if we had an fn friendly against a national side we could judge our progress on the national stage so that when we face Bosnia next time, we aren't fish out of the damn water...all that matters is that IFF and CQ have done nothing to progress our football since WC.

[Bi-honar]

I knew Bosnia sucked before the WC started. I knew Bosnia sucked when the WC was in progress. I hate to say this, but he only one who made Bosnia look good at the WC was CQ - even the Bosnian fans were saying it.
