The main one being that you're French. ;)
I can see a draw coming from this game. Either that, or Bosnia bottling it and losing quite heavily. There's no way a UEFA-sanctioned referree would allow France to lose this match.

Now way the ref could see the double hand of Henry... c'est la vie mon pote. Plus, I'm not a fan of Henry but at the end of the day, he said he was sorry, he didn't say any word until his retirement in NT even in South Africa, he didn't say anything (well, that was a good idea lol) because of the story of the hand. He was clearly not proud of his "assist" to Gallas. But hey, I'm still waiting for Maradona and Suarez to not be proud of their actions...
BTW, in the first game Rami and Mexes did a pretty good job on Dzeko in Sarajevo but next game it'll be probably Abidal-Rami and Abidal isn't that good in CB with NT (while not being awful), so I guess it'll be a good thing for you. But If any of Nasri or Ribery are going berserk with Benzema as usual I don't see your defence being able to holding us. It's a big "IF" though. Diaby was the game changer in Sarajevo, I hope he'll be there against Bosnia (he always was at least decent with NT).

It's not about Platini being French, but about UEFA wanting to extract as much money from the competition as possible. Both domestically (France has around 60m pop, Bosnia 4) and internationally (the lucrative Asian television market), France would be a more profitable country to have at the Euros, and UEFA will try everything within their legal (allegedly) power to ensure that Les Blues qualify.
DVT- doubt it will be on TV; possibly one of those weird Scandinavian/German sports channels. Guaranteed to be a top-notch stream somewhere, though.

For instance, last September, in the first qualifying fixture, Bosnia won 3-0 over Luxembourg while France lost 1-0 to Belarus. The next fixture saw France come to Bosnia. Now, with a reeling French team, I would have expected Bosnia to do quite well in that fixture. Instead, they looked rather impotent in a 2-0 home loss to the French.
Also, remember when they were a trendy pick to qualify for the World Cup in the playoffs v. Portugal (who were without Ronaldo)? Disappointing 1-0 losses in both legs.
Anyways, I would absolutely love Bosnia to get a victory in Paris. Can't see it happening though.

But now basically you two says that the game will be rigged. That's it, we're talking about the next fixture who will be decide on pitch, you're talking about refs etc... so basically y'all are saying it will be rigged for profit and multiples purposes. Well, I guess FIFA were thinking like this for Netherlands '02 (Danemark?), England '08 (Croatia) or even France '94 (Bulgaria)...
But hey, the entire world is against Bosnia I guess...
