Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team

He had 71 minutes of action before getting this 45.

Unfortunately, it was another loss for Monaco, but it's his first goal since scoring against Bosnia in the World Cup.

Let's go to resident number nine, Charlie Davies.

How excited are you that Fulham Balligan came in and was the hero ultimately from a Monaco perspective? Even though they ended up losing the game to Paris FC, I thought it was a good performance from him.

That's the mode he was in.

And then he's done at half, and then he never really gets back to where he was.

And then even in the game against Bosnia, he gutted it out.

That was one of those performances where I'm like, oh, he had to dig deep and go into a different mindset.

So we talked a lot about playing the match, not the occasion.

And, you know, if I were to be actually critical of us, I think the first half of Bosnia, we didn't do a great job of that.

But then when we went in at halftime and we were all kind of – it wasn't just me.

The players were also like, come on, guys, like – Go after the game, like stick to the plan, like don't don't get lost in the moment.

Obviously a famous movie.

So, you know, there's always that scene where Herb gives that, like, famous speech to the team in the dressing room, right? Saying, you know, saying to the team, like, you know, they can beat us nine times out of ten, but not today.

You kind of referenced it a little bit with, like, you know, going into the halftime with the Bosnia game.

Was there any of those type of speeches during the World Cup at all you had to give to the team at all? Like, any memorable speeches you kind of can recall?

Listen, we got...

Like, that Bosnia-Herzegovina game still gives me nightmares because I was so ticked off at that red.

Didn't think it was a freaking red.

Even then, look, you're getting me going, Rafaela.

Oh, by myself.

I don't want to talk.

So that game that they played against Bosnia, that was a Tuesday.

Yeah, it was a Tuesday because I was flying back from a prime.

We were watching the World Cup game.

I think it was against Bosnia, the U.S. against Bosnia.

That

was a pretty cool experience because that food was really good.

Happened to Zlatan, happened to Sheringham, all these strikers that are like that, that aren't pace-reliant.

But look at Dzeko, still playing at 39, took Bosnia to a World Cup at 44.

Because if you've never been relied on pace, if you've never needed pace, losing it doesn't make a difference to you.

And the intelligence and awareness you gain from getting older just becomes, it becomes exponential.

We are the two mics.

Very shortly, we're going to be talking to James O'Connor, looking ahead to Bosnia-Herzegovina tonight against the Republic of Ireland, a 1945 kick-off.

Of course, the Spain-England game is a 1945 kick-off.

You can get live commentary on that.

People do.

Now, people do care an awful lot about whether the Republic of Ireland make it to the finals of the Euros in the summer.

And, of course, they're playing Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica.

Oh, definitely.

So yeah, uh, yeah, pretty much.

Sa- same as Bosnia a couple of years ago.

Yeah.

Ex- except everyone stayed at Bosnia and nothing really changed.

Yeah.

But they just got to a World Cup so everyone's forgotten about it.

a change to fifa's rules could be coming soon after a controversial red card in this summer's world cup was reversed the fifa council is set to meet thursday for the first time since the tournament chaired by president gianni infantino and according to multiple reports a motion to amend fifa's disciplinary code is at the top of the agenda items Now if you need a history lesson, this summer United States forward Flo Balogun received a red card in a game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, which according to current FIFA rules, suspended him for the team's next matchup.

But controversial intervention by FIFA reversed the ban, allowing Balogun to play in the team's match against Belgium.

Now the governing body is looking to amend that rule to prevent similar scenarios from playing out again.
