The nature of Nigeria's drab 0-0 draw with Iran left Super Eagles fans dejected, as their best chance of three points disappeared without a trace. The reality of the matter, however, is that they are now more or less involved in a straight shootout with Bosnia-Herzegovina for a place in the second round. Simply put, if they beat Bosnia in Cuiaba tonight, they will eliminate their opponents from the running.
Bosnia were defeated by a moment of Lionel Messi brilliance is no great shame, although moral victories count for nothing at World Cups. They have plenty of attacking threats to disrupt Nigeria, with Edin Dzeko now due a good performance following a game of relative anonymity against the Argentines - Zvjezdan Misimovic is another Bosnia mainstay.
Do you think the defending African Champions will scale through this group or they will mimic the footsteps of the World and European Champions?
