Bosnia coach Safet Susic has thrown down the gauntlet at the Super Eagles, and insists his team will make it out of Group F of the FIFA 2014 World Cup to be hosted by Brazil in June.
Susic says he isn't bothered with the Super Eagles of Nigeria and believes his attacking philosophy will see the debutants scale the group stage hurdle.
The former Paris Saint Germain midfielder has set up his team to attack with Manchester City's Edin Dzeko leading the line with 10 goals in qualifying as Bosnia notched up 30 goals.
Bosnia boasts attacking players like City's Dzeko, Roma's Miralem Pjanic, former Hoffenheim midfielder Zvjezdan Misimovic and Vfb Stuttgart's Vedad Ibesivic and Susic feels this players can cause damage to any team.
"We will continue attacking like we always do," Susic told utsandiego.com.
"It may sound tactically risky, but I think it would be wrong to play differently.
The 58-year-old coach, who has had stints in France and Turkey says he will also stick with his attacking style at the World Cup.
"It would be unfair to the game and above all to the fans if we were to constrain such talents,"Susic said.
"After all, we are playing to score more goals than our opponents and so far it has paid off."
When asked about his team's chances in Group F of the 2014 Fifa World Cup, Susic who took over the Bosnia job in 2009, said: "Argentina is by far the best team in our group and they should finish first.
"Our target is to join them in the next round.
"I think our chances are very realistic, because at this moment, both Nigeria and Iran are not better teams than us. I fully expect that we pass into the second round."
Bosnia, who recently inked a deal with sportswear firm Adidas to kit them at the World Cup, lost their last pre-World Cup friendly, played in Innsbruck, Austria on 5 March 5, 2-0 to Egypt. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
