Bosnia
Iran
Nigeria

Star Players:
Lionel Messi & Sergio Aguero (Argentina)
Edin Dzeko & Miralem Pjanic (Bosnia)

Jon Obi Mikel & Victor Moses (Nigeria)

Group Winner Odds:
Argentina - 2/9
Bosnia - 7/1
Nigeria - 9/1
Iran - 25/1

Locke's Expert Analysis:
Argentina really shouldn't have any problems at all winning this group. Bosnia and Nigeria have stronger squads than Iran and you'd imagine they'll fight it out for 2nd, hard to call between them but I'll go for Bosnia in their first ever World Cup to join Argentina.

[Calderyon]

Easy get through for Argentina. Three wins and 9 points. Nigeria and Bosnia will battle for second place and Bosnia with a better defence will claim it.

Iran will get trashed in all of their games.

[Novo]

Iran will give the Nigerians are a good game and could give Bosnia a problem or two, they aren't the whipping boys like the experts are claiming they are

[Locke.]

Romero; Rojo, Garay, Campagnaro, Zabaleta; Mascherano, Di Maria, Messi, Rodriguez, Fernandez, Aguero.

Begovic; Mujdza, Spahic, Bikakcic, Besic, Kolasinac; Pjanic, Hajrovic, Lulic; Misimovic; Dzeko.

That Argentina front line...

[Brother Leon]

"Argentina cried with Maradona...we haven't cried with Messi"

5* quote.

[Drew.]

Nice quiet night in watching the best player in the world, perfect.

[Ninastar]

Why do the good games have to be so ****ing late? I'm so tired

[MTVN]

No chance do Bosnia lose

[Locke.]

Maxi!

[Brother Leon]

Love Bosnia's story. Hopefully they do well.


Also Maxi still starts for Argentina..wow lol

Nice quiet night in watching the best player in the world, perfect.

Ronaldo is tomorrow..

[Drew.]

Goal doesn't count, defender was goal hanging.

[MTVN]

****s sake

[Brother Leon]

Goal doesn't count, defender was goal hanging.

:joker:

[Black Dagger]

Yeah I love Bosnia's story as well, one of the reasons why they're my team, hope Edin scores tonight, if not a nice double hat-rick against Nigeria and Iran will do.

I would like to think both of them will go through, not here for more of my teams flopping.

[Shaun]

this is so dull

[Samuel.]

Brazil, Spain and Argentina all looking weak in their opening games

Money's on Germany at this rate

[Novo]

**** sake look at Lennon, he is starstruck sitting next to Shearer

[Calderyon]

Argentina has been quite tame tonight, expected more. I think Bosnia has been a much better team and controlled the first half convincingly creating much more goal opportunities than Argentina´s side.

I think Bosnia will equalize on the second half and maybe get a tie from this.

[Novo]

This match is as flat as a Witch's tit

[Drew.]

There it is!! MESSI!!!!!!!!

[Calderyon]

Wow! What a shot by Messi! 2-0 for Argentina!

[Locke.]

Lionel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MTVN]

Argie twats

[Locke.]

Bosnia back in it with 6 minutes to go

[MTVN]

Yes!!!!!!!!! Bosnia!!!!!!!!!!! You beauties!!!!!!!!!! **** the Argies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shaun]

if they grabbed a draw :joker: would be beautiful

[Calderyon]

With 6+ minutes go in the game, Bosnia cuts the lead to one, meaning it´s 2-1. Now it´s a game!!!

[Brother Leon]

Let's ****ing go then.

[Jemal]

Time for the super eagles too light up brazil

[Vanessa]

Come on, Nigeria. My sweepstake! :cheer2:

[Black Dagger]

I'm wanting Bosnia to be the 2nd team through, so not even getting invested in this one. Would have liked Nigeria if they'd been in another group.

[Locke.]

Come on Iran!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*claps*

[Brother Leon]

Skepta in goal :worship:

[Vanessa]

This game is so boring! :sleep:

[Calderyon]

Not much happened, i see. Smells like a scoreless draw.

Argentina will squash both of these teams and Bosnia also.

[Vanessa]

Somebody please do something! :fist:

[Shaun]

zzzzzzzzzz

[BigSister]

so still nothing happened........

[Brother Leon]

Game of the Tourney stuff this.. :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

tactical cam on the bbc sport app is so much better

[Vanessa]

Come on Nigeria! Don't waste your chances to score. :facepalm:

[Vanessa]

Still no goal. :ninja2:

[Calderyon]

The game ends at 0-0. Worst game of the tournament at this stage.

[Black Dagger]

Riveting.

Bosnia don't **** up, cheers.

[AnnieK]

God....that's 90 minutes of my life I'm never getting back

[Vanessa]

God....that's 90 minutes of my life I'm never getting back

:laugh:

[Jemal]

So ashamed right now lol

[Vanessa]

So ashamed right now lol

At least Nigeria didn't lose. But they need to play better than that.

[Brother Leon]

Well...thank **** for the Dutch in me :laugh:

[MTVN]

Nigeria messing up my bet but good result for the Bosnians at least

[Chuck]

God....that's 90 minutes of my life I'm never getting back

Exactly

[Calderyon]

ARG LINE-UP: Romero, Garay, Zabaleta, Gago, Di Maria, Higuain, Messi (c), Mascherano, Rojo, F. Fernandez, Aguero

IRN LINE-UP: Haghighi, Haji Safi, Hosseini, Sadeghi, Nekounam (c), Shojaei, Timotian, Montarezi, Ghoochannejad, Dejagah, Pooladi

[Brother Leon]

Come on Iran!!

The impossible dream.

[Drew.]

Come on you argies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MTVN]

Imagine Iran actually qualifying

[Brother Leon]

Pen!!!!

Fooking ref

[MTVN]

****ing Argies

[MTVN]

The Iranians are actually scaring the sh*t out of Argentina, this is beautiful to watch

[arista]

What Magic do the Iranians have

with this fixed 0 -0
score?

[MTVN]

The Argies have fixed it, Iran should have had a pen

[arista]

The Argies have fixed it, Iran should have had a pen




Now thats complex

[AnnieK]

Come on Iran. They're my sweepstake :clap2:

[MTVN]

:clap2:

[arista]

This is Magic
not football proper

[MTVN]

Hmm so if Bosnia and Nigeria draw, Iran get another draw against Bosnia, and Argentina beat Nigeria then Iran will qualify with 3 points

[Locke.]

Iran to 0-0 their way to the final, winning on pens in every knockout game

[Locke.]

Oh **** sakes, I jinxed it

[arista]

argies got one

[MTVN]

</3

[Brother Leon]

Iran have been robbed.


Travesty :(

[Drew.]

Messi!!!!!!!!!!! You beauty

[Calderyon]

Great goal by Messi. Argentina leads (and probably wins) 1-0. Good defensive battle from Iran though. But 90 minutes of defending still wasn´t enough to prevent Lionel Messi from ruining the party for Iran.

[arista]

Can Iran get a fast One IN>

[MTVN]

Suppose now being a Bosnian that this win is good for me really though

[arista]

Is Iran Out?

[Jemal]

So if we beat bosnia, we qualify:joker:

[MTVN]

Is Iran Out?

Nah but they need to beat Bosnia and have other results go their way, very unlikely

[arista]

They are a Nice team
Iran

[Calderyon]

Iran isn´t a bad team, but they should score more. You can´t win group matches if you don´t score.

[Locke.]

Moses not even in the Nigeria starting 11 now

[King Gizzard]

Staying up for this when I'm shattered, better be good

[Brother Leon]

Let's ****inng go then.

[Ninastar]

Come on Nigeria!!!

[GypsyGoth]

Go Nigeria!! :cheer:

[Ninastar]

Go Nigeria!! :cheer:

:lovedup:

Hey

[Locke.]

Come on Bosnia!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GypsyGoth]

:lovedup:

Hey

:flutter:

hey

[Ninastar]

Nice sig Locke

But Nigeria plz

[Drew.]

This Nigerian kit is looking extra bright these days

[Locke.]

Hoping it will take attention away from their **** football

[Brother Leon]

Go Nigeria!! :cheer:

:lovedup:

Hey

Good stuff,Ladies :lovedup: :worship:

[Calderyon]

That was not offside. Linesman made a mistake. Bosnia lost a goal there.

[King Gizzard]

Wolfsburg vs Bosnia

[GypsyGoth]

Yes!!!!!!

[Ninastar]

Yeeeeessssssssssssssssssss!!!!

[Brother Leon]

EMENIKE BULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**** off Bosnian bench.

[Ninastar]

I really like the Nigerian football kit

[Brother Leon]

Bosnians need to hit the weight room.

[BBfanUSA]

What is with the sudden European meltdown so far in this set of WC games?

[Headie]

Nigeria and Ghana to both qualify please

[MTVN]

Bosnia have been seriously screwed over

[Black Dagger]

So pissed off.

[Brother Leon]

If we somehow hold on me and my boy will be waking up the whole Estate with Vuvezelas.

Long hair, dont care..

[Locke.]

Just look at Lucas' sig and then look at the results of all of the teams in it

You horrible jinxing bastard, even Argentina could only scrape a win against bloody Iran thanks to you

[Calderyon]

Wasn´t there a clear foul just before the Nigerian goal by the one who assisted the goal?

He pretty much pushed/tossed the Bosnian defender aside and then passed the ball in front of the goal for the Nigerian forward to score.

I think it should have been called.

[Drew.]

Lets hope his Wimbledon picks have the same amount of terrible luck.

[Black Dagger]

Your lot deserve to flop for you calling it ****ing 'Wimby'. Mess.

[Black Dagger]

And it's pretty much guaranteed that Townsend and Watson will do **** all at Wimbledon anyway.

[MTVN]

Good point Lucas

[MTVN]

Oh Townsend is that big girl

[Drew.]

Your lot deserve to flop for you calling it ****ing 'Wimby'. Mess.

You bloody copied my whole sig layout, i had no choice but to change it.

[Black Dagger]

erm excuse you, I have had this sort of sig layout for my favourites in various things since I joined the forum

[Drew.]

There is just no originality around here anymore

[Brother Leon]

Wasn´t there a clear foul just before the Nigerian goal by the one who assisted the goal?

He pretty much pushed/tossed the Bosnian defender aside and then passed the ball in front of the goal for the Nigerian forward to score.

I think it should have been called.

The Bosnian tried foul him first, but wasn't strong enough.

[Calderyon]

The Bosnian tried foul him first, but wasn't strong enough.

Oh...ok. I didn´t see the whole situation, only the replay from a bad angle and only the pushing thing. Was that situation inside of the penalty zone? If it was, Bosnia was in danger of giving a penalty kick, if their defender was fouled.

[Calderyon]

Nigeria has some very good shooters. Those long shots look absolutely lethal.

[Brother Leon]

So nervous..

EDIT: Bosnia's number 7 is a twat.

[Black Dagger]

So done.

[Drew.]

Bosnia are a joke

[Black Dagger]

That sums it all up.

[Brother Leon]

My heart stopped. It just ****ing stopped.

[Calderyon]

Great save by the Nigerian goalkeeper, that was. 2 minutes to go...

[GypsyGoth]

Nigeria are just a better team.

[Novo]

My Russia will have to show Bosnia how its done

[Locke.]

DZEKO!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Calderyon]

Bosnia´s shot hit the post from the Nigerian goalkeepers leg save just 30 seconds before stoppage time. So close for an equalizer...

[Drew.]

Its all Dzekos fault

[Brother Leon]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

****ing hell. I though Dzeko done it. I nearly collapsed. Off to wake everyone up with some Vuvuzela action.

[Calderyon]

Game over. Nigeria vs Bosnia Herzegovina 1-0. Bosnia´s are out of the tournament.

Argentina and Nigeria are both through to the last 16.

[Black Dagger]

Hope the linesman gets hit by a bus.

[GypsyGoth]

Bosnia Herzegovina should think about having just one name. Maybe something like Bosvina.

[Ninastar]

Or what about hernia?

[Locke.]

Leon sitting in the corner of his bedroom with a party blower

[GypsyGoth]

Or what about hernia?

:laugh2: that works too.

[Jemal]

Yasssss were going through to the next rounddddddd

[Jemal]

Yassssssss skeptaaaa

[Novo]

Jemal and Leon taking the golf for a ride around Brixton with Nigeria flags waving out the window and Dappy - No Regrets blasting out

[Calderyon]

Actually scratch that, Nigeria´s last 16 spot isn´t set in stone yet. Iran can still make it, but they would have to pummel the Bosnias or Hernias or Bosvinas or whatever they are. Meanig they would have to win. Also Argentina would have to win over Nigeria.

[Brother Leon]

Yassssssss skeptaaaa

Fooking legend of a Keeper.

[Calderyon]

Btw, if Iran wins against Bosnia by 1-0 and Argentina against Nigeria by 1-0, Nigeria and Iran would be absolutely tied in points and goals difference as well as goals for. What happens then? Rematch? Extra time? Penalty kicks? A coin toss?

[Novo]

Only the Gods know the answer to that question Calderyon

[Locke.]

We stick Leon and Jemal in a wrestling ring with two Iranian's and see who comes out alive

[MTVN]

Hopefully Leon has just been spending a night in cells after the police put a stop to him terrorising his poor neighbours with his vuvuzela

[Shaun]

on the one hand i'm happy about my prediction of the best-performing african team (ok, on par with IC atm) but idk... nigeria just bore me. weak group all in all tbh

[Brother Leon]

Hopefully Leon has just been spending a night in cells after the police put a stop to him terrorising his poor neighbours with his vuvuzela

LOL


I blew it once on the balcony and sprinted back inside like I was Ussain Bolt.

#Rebel :joker:

[Calderyon]

I really hope that Iran and Nigeria end up in the same exact stats so that we will see how they resolve it.

[Calderyon]

#NGA LINE-UP: Enyeama, Yobo (c), Ambrose, Musa, Odemwingie, Emenike, Mikel, Oshaniwa, Onazi, Babatunde, Omeruo

#ARG LINE-UP: Romero, Garay, Zabaleta, Gago, Di Maria, Higuain, Messi (c), Mascherano, Rojo, Fernandez, Aguero

-----------------------

#IRN LINE-UP: Haghighi, Haji Safi, Hosseini, Sadeghi, Nekounam (c), Shojaei, Timotian, Montarezi, Ghoochannejad, Dejagah, Pooladi

[Drew.]

MESSI!!!!!!!!

[MTVN]

MUSA!!!!!!!!!!

[Calderyon]

What a start for the game! Messi scores and Argentina takes 1-0 lead, but Nigeria makes a very fast equalizer goal to tie the game.

[Brother Leon]

DZEKO!!!

Now let's top this group!!!

[Brother Leon]

****

[Ryan57]

Stunning free kick from Messi.

[Drew.]

MESSI!!!!! He is well and truly delivering.

[Locke.]

Now we just need an Iran comeback

[Crimson Dynamo]

lovely freekick

[King Gizzard]

Chuffed for Leo. We're fortunate to be witnessing one of the greats :worship:

[Drew.]

Piss off Musa!!!!

[Ryan57]

The Nigerian Messi strikes again.

[Ryan57]

ffs.

[Drew.]

ROJO!!!!!!!

[Brother Leon]

Pride of Africa!

Bring on the French tbh.

[King Gizzard]

Bosnia :(

[Locke.]

Wow, Lavezzi throwing water over his manager :joker:

[Shaun]

well that's the weakest group put to bed :spin2: happy I got my Nigeria prediction right (for being the best African team... well, if Algeria fall against Russia anyway)

[Calderyon]

Nigeria played a fairly good game against Argentina, especially those long hard shots, wow.
France better be ready and not let them use them, as they are deadly as hell.

Bosnias got their consolation victory, good for them.
