Yesterday, I went to watch Bosnia -v- Iran with London's Bosnian fans...
...but it was pretty hard going to find any.
After some searching, I heard about Bosnian fans congregating in a bar in Fulham, so I headed there.
I'd seen some photos of fans there watching Bosnia's previous match; the atmosphere looked good!

But when I turned up, there really wasn't anyone I could say was Bosnia. Maybe that woman in the Bosnian blue dress? The guys in suits? Maybe not...
I stayed around, half-watching the match. Bosnia were soaring and scoring 1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 3-1. It was only on the third goal that some guys cheered loudly, I realised that they were Bosnian. And so was the woman in the blue dress!
Then just before the match ended, a guy turns up draped in a Bosnian flag.
So, in the end, there wasn't a great Bosnia-supporting atmosphere, but it was good to finally find some Bosnian fans in London.
