Bosnia-Herzegovina and Herzeg-Bosnia

A fairly minor point, but eagle eyed viewers may see that Paraguay's head to head record includes a 3-0 win against Bosnia-Herzegovina, whearas Bosnian stats say no such thing. I can't seem to find an English language source but the Croatian explanation for this is that the game (a full international friendly in Asunción in 1996) was actually played by a team calling itself Herzeg-Bosnia. Herzeg-Bosnia was a breakaway Croatian region of Bosnia during the 1990s. It appears they played a grand total of one international match before the Bosnian-Croatian and Bosniak federations were merged in 1999. Helpfully FIFA and Paraguay (and most football stat sites, which originate long after the death of Yugoslavia) count this as a match against Bosnia-Herzegovina, so it's fine to appear in the list as is. However, I'm just clarifying why Bosnia's own football federation would tell you they've never played against Paraguay.

I'm conscious this page is 4 years out of date anyway, but I'm leaving this here as an explanatory note for whenever it does get updated.
