Bosnia face Qatar with World Cup survival at stake

Qatar today, everything on the line

Your team faces Qatar in Seattle on Wednesday, and it is simple: lose and you are probably out. The 48-team format keeps a sliver of hope for third-placed sides, but Switzerland 4–1 Bosnia-Herzegovina in the opener left your goal difference in bad shape (2). A win is the only clean path to the knockout rounds. Qatar are in the same position after their own opening loss (3).

The Swiss collapse

Switzerland 4–1 Bosnia-Herzegovina at SoFi Stadium, and the scoreline lies. For 70 minutes your team held them at 0–0. Then a hydration break let the Swiss reset, Johan Manzambi came on and scored twice, and the match ran away (2). Granit Xhaka and Breel Embolo also featured for Switzerland (2). Three points gone, and the goal difference took a hit.

Visca back at Başakşehir

Edin Visca has rejoined İstanbul Başakşehir, the Turkish club he knows inside out (4). The Bosnian international spent several seasons there before and now returns. No fee or contract length in the reports (4).
