       Bosnia (A) Tue. 03/06/25 - Nations League

       1-1 with sixteen minutes to go. NI are spending more time in the
       Bosnian half, without any real conviction around the penalty
       area. Bosnia look dangerous on the break.
       Not sure why Furness is still on the bench.

       Sorry, hadn't noticed this separate thread, and so just added to
       comments on the previous Poland thread.
       Anyhow, here's what 'davidbr' had to say on that thread:
       "1-1 after 30 minutes. Magill scored a nice goal. But then we
       conceded a horrendous equaliser with our defender (Mason, I
       think) failing to make the most basic challenge which left the
       Bosnian forward free to slot the ball home. It actually looked
       like she pulled out of making a challenge?!"
       To which I added:
       "Yep, pulled out - I think she was worried about arriving late
       and getting a Red card for denying a goalscoring opprtunity etc,
       which tbf, she would have been.
       Anyhow, game finished 1-1. From what I saw, once they'd settled
       in, NI were the better team in the first half and really ought
       to have gone in a goal up, but for the error above.
       Second half, however, was very mediocre (both teams) and just
       petered out. Oxtoby made 2 subs at H-T, plus another couple mid
       way through, but none made any difference that I could see.
       Tbf, it's a very young, inexperienced team, but they seem to me
       to lack conviction, confidence and leadership. And if Oxtoby
       continues to switch her team around, incl ignoring one or two
       stalwarts, then she can have no excuse - it's up to her to
       provide leadership."
