Excluding penalty shoot-outs, Bosnia and Herzegovina had now drawn their last six ‘A’ international games. . They had more teenagers in their squad than any other team at this FIFA World Cup finals, with three players aged 19 or younger. . Zmajevi would travel a total of 3,131 miles between venues during the group stage: more than any other team at this FIFA World Cup tournament.
