At this World Cup, Bosnia and Herzegovina have returned to the finals stage after a 12-year absence, with the group-stage campaign proving highly dramatic and unpredictable. They drew 0-0 with Canada in the opening match. In the second round against Switzerland, they received a red card early and—playing with 10 men—were heavily defeated, putting their qualification hopes in serious jeopardy. In the final, a must-win showdown, they beat Qatar 3-1. Led by the 40-year-old captain Džeko, who delivered key contributions, a young Alaji Bećegović netted a stunning long-range strike. Thanks to this victory, the team advanced to the knockout stage in dramatic fashion, finishing third in the group. The team is good at creating threats through physical battles and set pieces, but their defensive stability has been lacking. Next, they will face the host nation, the United States. Only by tightening up their defense and taking chances in front of goal will they have a chance to go further. #BinancePickAndWin
