Look at how the American host described BiH after the match with the United States:

This misstatement led to widespread criticism and went viral on social media, highlighting how even minor errors in high-profile broadcasts can gain significant attention.

Despite their exit from the tournament, BiH became a focal point due to Kasparian’s comment, which sparked discussions about the accuracy of international representation in media.
