I know people have been positive about Bosnia - but surely that's way too short.

Should be closer to 2.3 at the shortest IMO.

Too be honest it was about 2.3 and 5/4 with bookies before Nigeria produced that dog **** performance against Iran.

Yep - but surely a case of massive overreaction in pricing?

A game between these two neutral ground would have been 50/50 last year I reckon.

Personally think anything above evens is a decent price. Possibly closer in a friendly one off game based on quality in team but in a competitive match at a world cup where the Nigerians looked lazy and disinterested in a World Cup game (as they usually do) against a poor Iran side against a Bosnian team brimming with pride at playing in the world cup for the first time and representing there new nation no chance it's a ear a 50/50. Think the odds aren't just based on Bosnia looking the better side but also that they are far more likely to turn up, give it their all and perform to near their best whereas Nigeria could just as equally perform near there best making a game of it as turning up looking lazy, disinterested and perform well below they are capable of like they did yesterday and often do at the World Cup.

Poor grammar there, apologies, rushed the typing.

Nigeria already talking about this game being 'the game' for them - reckon they may be more likely to turn up for once.

See the market has corrected a little - out to 1.94 which is still short IMO, but closer.

Reading 'Comments' in articles around the world, Bosnia's first game performance amazed and delighted many people.

Technically some of the best football played in Week 1

They did play pretty well, against a strong side - I was a little surprised, as their qualifying group was weak and they weren't stunning in getting through. But, yes, they played well v the Argies.

Question is whether they maintain it against Nigeria or not.

Never a 1.84 shot Cool
