Intro:

Bosnia and Hertzegovina goalkeeper Asmir Begovic admitted on Thursday that facing Gareth Bale will be a challenge for his team.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Asmir Begovic, Bosnia goalkeeper (on Bale):

"He has one heck of a left foot on him. In any free kick areas or areas 20, 30 yards from goal he has a great striker. Obviously the ball moves freakishly and it's difficult to deal with of course. That's the challenge tomorrow and hopefully we won't give him too many situations where he can use that to his advantage. But I've faced it before and of course it's a big challenge."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Asmir Begovic, Bosnia goalkeeper (asked about his Stoke City manager Mark Hughes, who is Welsh and whether they have spoken):

"No, we haven't spoken in the last couple weeks (joking). I've kept away from the Welsh contingent in our camp (laughing). All things aside he obviously wished me luck and may the best team win!"
