SALVADOR, Brazil (AP) — Iran coach Carlos Queiroz says his team’s Group F match against Bosnia-Herzegovina at the World Cup on Wednesday will be like a tournament final.
Iran plays already-eliminated Bosnia in Salvador with a chance of reaching the second round for the first time.
Queiroz said Tuesday “tomorrow is our World Cup final. As simple as that.”
Iran must win to have a chance of going through, while Nigeria only needs a point against already-qualified Argentina in a game being played at the same time in Porto Alegre.
Queiroz adds “we have to do our job, play our game and win the match. The rest is in the hands of God.”
