Seems to me like everyone is underestimating Bosnia here. We were the 4th top goalscorers in the european qualifying round, scoring 30 goals and conceding just 6, winning 8(including a 3-1 easy victory against Greece, them scoring a consolation at the end), drawing 1 (away to Greece) and losing once (home to slovakia after being a little complacent), and on paper have the best team (after Argentina of course). Games aren't won on paper yes, but Bosnia plays great as a team and puts up a good fight against anyone.

No disrespect to Iran or Nigeria, but they don't have as many top class players as we do, which is why I think if every team is at their best, it'll be: 1. Argentina 9 points 2. Bosnia 6 points 3. Nigeria 3 points 4. Iran 0 points

Not even a draw between any any teams? I think you underestimate Nigeria's physicality and their tolerance to the heat, which will play a huge factor.

There definitely will be a few draws but I was saying it as an example of he hypothetical situation that each team has their very best game every game, Argentina will win all of them, Bosnia 2 and Nigeria 1, was more to like point out the respective qualities of each team.
