Dzeko: Bosnia can pull off French 'miracle'

Bosnia-Herzegovina require a miracle to beat France in Tuesday's UEFA EURO 2012 Group D qualifier at the Stade de France and win the section, but their star striker Edin Dzeko said they could well pull it off. The 25-year-old Manchester City star - scorer of 19 goals in his 39 international appearances - claimed that whilst France had formidable qualities so did the Bosnians. "Miracles do exist and it is possible," said Dzeko, who has found himself overshadowed by Argentinian Sergio Aguero at City this season. "Victory against Luxembourg (5-0 last Friday) was very important, but it will be another story against France, because they are the favourites. "It is true that the French are weakened (by injuries), but they were also missing several key players in the first match (in Sarajevo) in September last year, and they still won 2-0," he added.  "It is a dangerous side packed with quality, but I also think that their quality is not much greater than ours." Bosnia -- who have yet to qualify for a major finals -- are guaranteed of a play-off place but a win over France, who lead by a point, would give them an automatic spot at the finals being jointly hosted by Poland and Ukraine.
