After securing their fist ever World Cup qualification, Bosnia may be the team to beat at this years tournament. They will be full to the brim of confidence and hoping that their rookie year in Brazil will not be a drab and depressing one.

After a storming qualifying campaign in which they were victorious in eight of the ten game and netting no fewer than thirty goals - a feat only beaten by Germany, England and Holland arguable super powers of international football - The Mighty Dragons will be up for this.

The Coach:

Safet Susic is regarded as a legend in Eastern Europe for his work with Yogoslavia and even in France with PSG. He has one ideology in football management and that is too attack, this can result in high scoring games when the Bosnians are in town.

What fans expect:

The fans want to see a good show in Brazil because it is their first tournament and the first time is always a chance to show the big dogs what you are made of on the big stage.

Bosnia may have a big following, not just from their own fans, but neutrals who want to see the underdog pull of a few surprises in Brazil.

Style of play:

Susic has adopted a traditional 4-4-2 formation in recent matches, it faired them well in the equality ing campaign, and he is someone who doesn't believe in over complicating things.

But apart from attacking and trying to score goals it is basically do what you can for the rest of the team.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

With it being their first tournament they will roaring and ready to go when the whistle blows at the start of their first group game and motivation will be needed to keep it going for the other two games.

Dzeko and Ibisevic make a deadly duo when they are both playing well and with thirty goals scored in qualifying, expect those two to be high on the scoring charts.

Much like a few other of the underdog teams they lack back-up in certain positions, so if they pick up injuries or suspensions they will struggle even more than they already might.

Verdict:

Being in a group that is regarded as hard to predict, the Bosnians may have a slight chance of progressing to the knock out stages but anything beyond that would be in the wildest dreams of the most hardcore of fans.

If they can keep their best players in top condition ready for the tournament and train well so that they have strong back-ups they should fair okay in Brazil.
