The World Cup 2014 tournament is back live and has Bosnia-Herzegovina against Iran in one of the final group matches of the brazil tournament and coverage is live on ESPN2 and from ESPN on the radio and on TV with a live stream from WatchESPN and the game from Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador starts up at 12 pm noon and comes at the same time as Argentina and Nigeria and that has Lionel Messi playing and ARG is already into the knockout stages after advancing last week.
Argentina was the favorite in this group coming in and they will likely take the top spot in Group F, as they have the best player in the world and are one of the fave teams for the overall tournament. Iran and Nigeria could have a crazy scenario if the team wins 1-0 and then Argentina wins by the same score, as MLS.com reports that the teams would be tied in goals and after their head to head matchup, making it the first time in history that lost need to be drawn to see who will advance into the next round.
Bosnia-Herzegovina is at the World Cup for the first time and they lost their first two matches and they are looking to rectify that against Iran and they can advance with some Argentina help and that would be massive for the nation and the team. Iran is no powerhouse and they have had trouble scoring and Lionel Messi scored late for Argentina in that game for the winning goal and now the team has the chance to try and get another draw here. The team has yet to score a goal and they have been playing not to lose here at the Cup rather than trying to win and now they play a team that is also not very experienced at the World Cup.
Bosnia lost one goal matches to Argentina and Nigeria and they performed well for a team that has not been here before and they have one great player in Edin Dzeko and he can be a factor on Thursday. Edin Dzeko had a goal wiped away in a bad call in the game against Nigeria and he will be the key if his team wants to win. The goalie for Iran has been exceptional despite their play, as Alireza Haghighi has allowed just one goal in the tournament and that was from Messi and now he will try and perform that way again.
The United States plays on Thursday and that will be a massive game for the team and for Germany and that will help decide Group G. If the US doesn't make it out, boy that will be some trouble and that means Americans have to watch Ronaldo's cross for the next four years and wonder what might have been.
