'Wolves and thunder' stand in way of Portugal

SARAJEVO: Bosnia will attack like a pack of hungry wolves when they rejoin battle with Portugal in the second leg of their World Cup playoff in Zenica on Wednesday, coach Miroslav Blazevic has promised.

The Bosnians, beaten 1-0 in the first leg in Lisbon on Saturday, will be without three key players through suspension but Blazevic is confident a thunderous atmosphere, and the ferocity of his players, can see them pull off a huge upset.

"We will launch an onslaught like hungry wolves from the start and I am certain that Portugal will be stunned by the atmosphere," Blazevic said.
