Won't be easy at all for Argentina and I hope the Bosnians pull off a 1-0 upset. That said, they'll have to play out of their skins and be in the good graces of Lady Luck to contain Messi, Di Maria and Higuain. 1-0 Bosnia. I'll always root against Argentina.

Bosnia starting XI
And Aguero and Zabaleta will be up against a familiar face in City team-mate Edin Dzeko, who starts up front for Bosnia. Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic also starts, while Roma playmaker Miralem Pjanic will aim to pull the strings from midfield.
Bosnia starting XI: Begovic, Bicakcic, Spahic, Kolasinac, Besic, Pjanic, Misimovic, Dzeko, Mujdza, Lulic, Hajrovic .

Very unfortunate for Bosnia to be a goal behind.

Argentina is playing like old England in the 90s.

Most silent goal of the tournament so far from Bosnia, they would be now ruing for that own goal as it could be 1-1 instead 2-1.

Argentina won't peak too soon in this tournament, that's for sure. Other than the genius of Messi, the best player in the world, not a very impressive display at all. When you have to depend on an own goal to make the difference, you shouldn't have a lot to write home about.
Kudos to Bosnia. They had a plan for this game and executed well enough to nearly pulling it off statistically. They outshot the Stripes & Dives 11 to 5 and led in corner kicks 6 to 2. Both Nigeria and Iran should be encouraged by this, keeping in mind that Bosnia are an excellent side and what they can do, both Iran and Nigeria will have a harder time doing.

Arguably this is the best Iranian team ever and if they can keep it together mentally, they're capable of surprising a lot of folks in this tournament. I want them to win this match but have Nigeria winning it 2-1. They have yet to match the excellence of their 1994 side with Yekini-Okocha-Finidi-Amunike and Amokachi but are still a strong side.

Poor show from argentina.. Sloppy all round. Need to get they're act together or else another 4-0 knockout coming. Couldn't understand the 5 man back line, already having such poor midfield why make it worse? Higuain, messi and augero must play. Maxi is useless, Gago is better option.
Expect strong comeback!

Besides the goal Messi scored he was having a very sloppy game. I wonder when we will see the best of Messi. He is not been the same for quite some time now.

Early signs of finishing issues. Cannot believe Nigeria didn't score there!
