The lowdown

赛事前瞻

Argentina should walk a comfortable group, but in some ways they might prefer to be tested for fear of being undercooked ahead of a potential quarter-final withGermany.

阿根廷被分入了一个轻松的小组，不过从某种意义上说阿根廷人可能更愿意在小组赛中历经考验，因为他们担心在四分之一决赛中遇到潜在对手德国时连续三届被其淘汰出局。

While their Fantastic Four strikeforce of Angel di Maria, Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Higuain and, of course, Lionel Messi will fancy their chances of running up a cricket score against a Bosnia-Herzegovina back five that includes no players of note apart from Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic, they should at least be asked some questions at the back.

阿根廷的锋线球员让人艳羡，迪马利亚（Angel di Maria）、阿圭罗（Sergio Aguero）和伊瓜因（Gonzalo Higuain）足以撕开对手的防线。当然我们不能忘记梅西，他的能力能让阿根廷队打出板球比赛的比分，因为其面对的波黑五名后防球员中，除了斯托克城的门将贝戈维奇（Asmir Begovic）之外，其余的球员都默默无闻，这样的后防线至少会受到阿根廷队的一些挑战。

A vampire-esque weakness against crosses combined with the aerial threat of Edin Dzeko and Vedad Ibisevic – prompted by Roma schemer Miralem Pjanic – who scored eight headers between them in qualifying, should prepare them for tougher tests head.

波黑队的横传球仿佛吸血鬼附身极具神秘和威胁。有了罗马队中场大将皮亚尼克（Miralem Pjanic）的精妙传球，两位空中作业的前锋哲科（Edin Dzeko）和伊比舍维奇（Vedad Ibisevic）在预选赛阶段头球攻入8球，这将对阿根廷的防线带来严峻的挑战。

And more importantly, both teams’ attacking approach – what other choice do they have? – should make for an open game, not least because Bosnia, with more winnable games against Iran and Nigeria to come, have little to lose from this one and should be fired up ahead of their World Cup debuts.

更重要的是，两支球队都是崇尚进攻的球队（难道他们还有其他踢法吗？）。本场比赛会是一场开放式的比赛，尤其是对波黑队而言。波黑队接下来会在小组赛中与伊朗和尼日利亚交锋，这两场比赛的取胜几率更大，所以说波黑队本场比赛没有什么可输的，他们将会在他们的世界杯首秀中全力以赴。

What the local media say

当地媒体的声音

‘In Messi we trust’ this week, while Bosnian daily Dnevni Avaz reported that a Brazilian journalist gave coach Pape Susic a lucky necklace ahead of the team’s World Cup debut. Which charm will come out on top?

本周阿根廷媒体表示：“我们信仰梅西”，而波黑日报记者阿瓦斯（Dnevni Avaz）报道称在世界杯首秀前，一位巴西记者赠送给主教练苏西奇（Pape Susic）一条象征幸运的项链。梅西的魅力和项链的魅力，究竟哪个会占上风呢？

Key battle: Martin Demichelis vs Edin Dzeko

关键对位：德米凯利斯VS哲科

Despite an unconvincing season withManchesterCity– although it did improve – Demichelis’s knowledge of his club-mate could be crucial givenArgentina’s weakness at defending crosses. If the rangy Dzeko and strike partner Ibisevic can be starved of aerial balls to attack,Argentinashould have too much forBosnia’s equally shaky rearguard.

尽管有所进步，但德米凯利斯在曼城本赛季的表现没有多大说服力。不过，德米凯利斯对于其曼城队友哲科的了解对于阿根廷薄弱的后防线而言是十分重要的。如果又高又瘦的哲科和其锋线搭档伊比舍维奇得不到高空球支援的话，阿根廷的进攻将会重创波黑队同样薄弱的后防线。
