Argentina 3-0-0 (+3) 9

Nigeria 1-1-1 (EV) 4

Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0-2 (EV) 3

Iran 0-1-2 (-3) 1


This group largely seems like a tune up for Argentina.  Throw in their Round of 16 match-up against Group E and there is not a team in the tournament that has an easier path to reach the quarters.  They still have to take care of business though but with all that talent and playing so close to home I do not foresee much of a problem.  The real question is who finishes second.

 

Bosnia-Herzegovina is making their World Cup debut this afternoon and they really could not have asked for a much better road out of the group stage.  The one downside is playing Argentina first, but if they can avoid ruining their goal differential in their first match they are in great shape.  Nigeria certainly could pose some issues for them but in the end I think Bosnia-Herzegovina gets out of their group in their maiden voyage.  It would not stun me if they beat the Group E winner to reach the quarters but I have them falling to the Swiss in the Round of 16.

I'm not sure how healthy Bosnia-Herzegovina is but they have several classy players. Most of their team is playing at some level in Europe. They shouldn't be viewed as a weak number second team in the group. Iran are most likely the punching bags and Nigeria looked undisciplined against team USA.

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It wasn't a his sack production, it was about his skill set, build, and scheme fit. He's a six foot tall 280 pound DT. He's best used as an interior pass rushing specialist. He can't play the nose in a 3-4 and he doesn't have the length or burst to play he end either. He just wasn't a scheme fit. He'd be a good roster piece as a rotational pass rushing specialist DT to bring in on passing downs in an even defensive front. But you can't hand out a 3 year/$45M contract for that either. Tha type of contract means you have to try to find starter snap numbers for him and that's a problem in a 3-4 front. Hell, it's a problem in a 4-3 front too. That's why the Chiefs were willing to let him walk.

      Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.

      Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable?  We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.
