In a crazy weekend of international play, where Samuel Nasri proved the hero once again, Jurgy Klinnsman got his first US national team win, and Portugal got rocked at home.
In a game where all France needed was draw, it seemed as though Edin Dzeko would ruin all those plans. In the 40th minute, he sent a spiral into the net, putting Bosnia up 1-0. Then, after a weak challenge and a debatable call, Samuel Nasri stepped camly to the stop and drained a pk to put France back on even level. France goes through to Euro 2012, and Bosnia goes to the playoffs.
Jurgy finally got his first win, over a weak Honduras team, and after 4 games. The game saw youngsters such as Brek Shea and Timmy Chandler step up, the former being surrounded in a cloud of media-frenzy as he is rumored to leave F.C. Dallas and move possibly to Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool. Tonight, the US will face Ecuador, fighting to get their second win in a row.
The Danes beat Portugal, jumping past them in the Group D standings to qualify for Euro 2012. Portugal will now have to qualify for the tournament through playoffs.
