Bosnia-Herzegovina goalkeeper Asmir Begovic insists that striker Edin Dzeko gives the country "half a chance" at this summer's World Cup.

Asmir Begovic has insisted that Bosnia-Herzegovina have a chance of causing an upset at the World Cup because of Edin Dzeko.

The striker scored 28 goals in all competitions with Manchester City last season, and will lead the attack for his country at their debut in the World Cup this summer.

The Stoke City goalkeeper, who is also in the Bosnian squad, told talkSPORT: "Having him in your team gives you half a chance because he can score a goal out of nothing. We have some good quality in our team, he leads from the front for us and he's one of our main players.

"He plays in one of the best teams in the world and has to prove himself each and every day to everybody.

"He's a fantastic striker, one of the best in the world in my opinion, we're glad he's on our side and if he's firing, then it gives us half a chance that's for sure."

Bosnia-Herzegovina will face Argentina, Iran and Nigeria in their group in Brazil.
