Well good evening, especially if you are Bosnian. What a night for your country. Taking down the mighty Italy in front of a rabid home crowd to deliver yourselves to the 2026 World Cup. Quite incredible.
Commiserations to Ricky, who played the whole 120 minutes, he won’t be going to a World Cup which is upsetting for his career, but probably good for his body after a beastly season so far.
