With the likes of Messi, Higuain, Aguero, Di Maria and Mascherano, the team has a potent front and middle line.But, they have a shaky defense, even with Zabaleta, and not that strong pair of legs between the sticks. Bosnia, too, have a really weak defense.But, they have some talent in the form of Lulic and Dzeko upfront, and Medunjanin, Pjani? and Misimovi? in the middle.For Bosnia, a win today would be great, as they can win against Nigeria and Iran, the other teams in Group-F, while Argentina having a comparatively easy group and also the similar South American soil, will have to play like a unit starting today, if they wish to lift the World Cup after 36 years, amid power houses like the Netherlands, Brazil, Germany and Spain.
