Bosnia-Herzegovina
Dzeko embraces Bosnia captaincy at 40 ahead of World Cup opener
At 40, Edin Dzeko didn't think he'd still be pulling on the Bosnia-Herzegovina shirt, let alone wearing the armband at a World Cup. But the all-time top scorer is embracing the responsibility as captain heading into Group B, where your side faces Canada, Switzerland, and Qatar. "I didn't think I would be playing at 40," Dzeko said ahead of Friday's opener (1). With veterans like Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric also still leading their nations, Dzeko's experience could be the difference in a group where Bosnia have a real chance to make noise.
