Double strike force for Argentina

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) – Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella has dropped both Gonzalo Higuain and Ezequiel Lavezzi from his line-up in the team’s World Cup opener against Bosnia.
The move suggests Argentina will play with only two strikers – captain Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero – instead of the three-man attack that Sabella often chooses.
World Cup debutant Bosnia will be led by striker Edin Dzeko and creative midfielder Miralem Pjanic.
The Group F match is the first 2014 World Cup game to be played at Rio de Janeiro’s famed Maracana stadium.
Argentina: Sergio Romero, Ezequiel Garay, Federico Fernandez, Hugo Campagnaro, Pablo Zabaleta, Marcos Rojo, Angel Di Maria, Javier Mascherano, Maxi Rodriquez, Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero.
Bosnia: Asmir Begovic, Ermin Bicakcic, Emir Spahic, Sead Kolasinac, Muhamed Besic, Miralem Pjanic, Zvjezdan Misimovic, Edin Dzeko, Mensur Mujdza, Senad Lulic, Izet Hajrovic.
