"Argentina is favorite in our group. For us it will be a great thing to open the WC with them. We should compete with Nigeria for the second place in the group and continuation of the competition. However, we should not underestimate Iran. In any case, our chances are good," said Susic.
On the question who will win the title of the world championship, Susic said that Argentina definitely is one of the favorites, but that Brazil is his personal favorite. He added that Spain and Germany can expect the best of this Mundial.
At Friday's draw for WC 2014, the team of Bosnia and Herzegovina was placed in Group F with Argentina, Nigeria and Iran.
This is the first time for Bosnia'a football team to participate in the WC.
Susic also said that his team was not lucky as the French, but he is glad not to be in the place of Croats:
"For us would be better if we had luck like the French to be placed in the weakest group with Switzerland, Ecuador and Honduras. But, when I see Croats in the group with Brazil, Mexico and Cameroon, I have to be satisfied," said Susic in his interview with the AA.
