They had a golden generation of players which is very rare for a small nation. I wouldn't call it a downfall, just a return to the mean.
But the problem is that we haven't reverted to the mean, we are far below it. The only teams showing worse football than Bosnia in the last few years are Andorra, San Marino and Gibraltar. We were in pot 2 for qualifiers, but currently sit in 5th place in our group. In the last 5 games (excluding Liechtenstein) we have scored 0 goals and conceded 13.
We still have a solid player base in the likes of AC Milan, Ajax, Fenerbahce, Atalanta, Red Bull Salzburg and others, so this is unacceptable and definitely a massive underperformance.
