With the World Cup just days away, we turn our attention to one of the unlikely stories at this summer’s tournament: the return of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Andy is joined by Bosnian football writer Saša Ibrulj as they chart the team’s recent history of underperforming and how they’ve fallen at the final qualification hurdle so many times. But, thanks in part to the excellent work of coach Sergej Barbarez, they’ve turned from a team of nearly-men to a group of fearless youngsters who have shown they can cut it at the top level. Their team, led by Bosnian hero Edin Dzeko and featuring young stars like Bayer Leverkusen's Kerim Alajbegović, will hope to upset the party when hosts Canada open their World Cup this Friday. Join us for a fascinating overview of one of European football’s unsung heroes!
