Following our World Cup predictions, which forecast an overall victory for the USA, TheMoveChannel.com follows the FIFA tournament through every stage, highlighting a property Match of the Day.

Argentina and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Neither are big players on TheMoveChannel.com. Argentina has seen recent growth in demand from investors in the run-up to the World Cup but as the #TMCWorldCup is based on 2013 stats, this is not yet evident.

Nonetheless, its 0.25 per cent share of enquiries is significantly more than that of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which received no enquiries at all. Why? Because there are no listings on the site, suggesting that the market is not yet open to overseas investors. Indeed, foreign buyers are hesitant to enter the nation thanks to less stringent laws, alleged links to crime and relatively higher taxes. This is reflected in Argentina's number of Google searches for property in May 2014: 20, double those for Bosnia and Herzegovina's real estate.

The South American country may be emerging in the global property game, but it is already several pitch-lengths ahead of its rival.
