Bosnia Striker Edin Dzeko: Anything Is Possible Against Portugal
The Wolfsburg forward can hardly wait to help his nation to the World Cup...

Bosnia-Herzegovina lock horns with Portugal on November 14 and 18 in the battle for a berth in the 2010 World Cup and prolific striker Edin Dzeko has made it clear that he will do everything he can in order to help the Bosnians to South Africa.
"Obviously, the Portuguese start as favourites, no doubt about it. They have a great team and a huge amount of experience, although that doesn't mean we don't stand a chance. There are two games, and we'll give it everything," said Dzeko to fifa.com.
"It's a tie over two legs, and if we can come away from their place with a decent result, anything's possible.
"The biggest point in our favour is our unity and determination as a team. We're a band of brothers, and we get along really well with one another. We're dangerous when we go forward too. All we lack is experience," continued the Wolfsburg star.
"It could be an advantage to play the second leg at home in Zenica, provided we come away with a result from the first game. If so, we could pull off a shock upset at home," he concluded.
