To earn one of the final four places in Euro 2012, Portugal will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in a double leg elimination match. Darrius Heyward-Bey Jersey . The action begins on Friday in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina and concludes Tuesday in Lisbon, Portugals capital. Catch the first leg of action from Bosnia and Herzegovina live, Friday at 2pm et/11am pt on TSN2 and TSN Mobile TV. Coming into qualification, Portugal was considered one of the early favourites to not only advance straight into the tournament but be one of the top teams when everything was said and done. Their campaign got off to a rocky start in Group H when they welcomed Cyprus to Guimaraes. The visitors struck just three minutes into the game to put Portugal on the back foot and even after scoring the tying goal five minutes later, the home side was down once again after giving up a second at the 11 minute mark. When Manuel Fernandes put Portugal ahead 4-3 at the hour mark of the game they had appeared to survive their opener with maximum points but Andreas Avraams header in the 89th minute sent both teams home with a single point. The campaign did not improve for Portugal when they traveled to Norway for their second group contest. Despite a strong offensive push, especially in the second half of the match, they were unable to equalize after Erik Huseklepp put Norway ahead in the 21st minute and fell to a 1-0 defeat, earning just one point in their first two games. A start so poor in fact that prior to resuming international play, Portugal fired manager Carlos Queiroz and replaced him with former Sporting Lisbon coach Paulo Bento. Bento and his new squad hosted Denmark in his first game and just two minutes apart in the opening half, Manchester United midfielder Nani found the net. His two goals scored in the 29th and 31st minutes; coupled with an 89th minute marker from Cristiano Ronaldo gave Bento and Portugal a 3-1 victory, their first win in the competition. With the momentum gained from the coaching change and victory, Portugal dispatched Iceland 3-1 in a game that saw Ronaldo score from a free kick after three minutes played and was not really away till substitute Helder Postiga scored in the 72nd minute. Heading into their second game with Norway, Portugal trailed both them and Denmark by three points and needed a win in order to stay in the thick of Group H competition. Postiga, who scored the goal that sealed the previous victory, scored the only goal at home against Norway to create the three way tie and allow Portugal to control their own destiny in the group they were picked to win when the competition began. Perhaps one of the most important games in their progress was the 4-0 victory they earned in Cyprus. After scoring in the first half, Ronaldos late penalty goal sparked a three marker finish that helped increase Portugals goal differential. After knocking off Iceland in a wild 5-3 game, they needed only a draw in the final match with Denmark in order to book themselves a place into the main draw of Euro 2012. The game, played at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen exposed the same defensive deficiencies that popped up for Portugal throughout the qualifying tournament. They found themselves down two goals just after the hour mark of the contest when Arsenals Nicklas Bendtner headed home to double the Denmark lead. Two minutes into extra time Ronaldo broke the shutout but it was too little too late as the Danes held on to capture the group with a 2-1 victory. Portugal finished in a second place tie with Norway who they split their contests with but due to a superior goal differential were able to advance to the knockout phase for a second chance at qualification. To make good on that second chance and play in the main draw at Euro 2012 they will have to defeat Bosnia and Herzegovina who were the runner ups in Group D. While Portugal would be slightly disappointed to have to qualify for the tournament through the knockout phase, Bosnia and Herzegovina came within half an hour of shocking a former world champion and outright winning their group. For the Bosnians qualification began with a bang in September of last year. They defeated Luxembourg on the road 3-0, scoring all three goals in the first 16 minutes of the game, to open their campaign while watching the groups favoured team France fall in their opener. The good feelings however would not last as they were blanked at home in their next match by France who got goals from Karim Benzema and Chelseas Florent Malouda. In their next game, they traded first half goals with Albania, scoring first and then giving up the equalizer to pick up a point on the road. When qualification resumed in March of this year, Bosnia and Herzegovina was right in the thick of the Group D process. Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko scored in the 83rd minute for a 2-1 Bosnian victory at home against Romania. Their next game was in Romania and the home side came out in an attacking posture and overwhelmed Bosnia and Herzegovina with a 3-0 victory that dropped the visitors down to third place. The group turned for Bosnia and Herzegovina when they welcomed Albania to Zenica. Haris Medunjanin opened the scoring in that contest and after Albania had been reduced to 10-men, Darko Maletic doubled the lead and captured all three points for the home side. They carried that form into a two game sweep of Belarus including a 1-0 victory on the road that featured a Zvjezdan Misimovic goal and two red cards that reduced the Belarusian side to nine men making their comeback almost impossible. Bosnia and Herzegovina clinched their place in the knockout stage with a 5-0 defeat over Luxembourg with familiar faces such as Misimovic and Dzeko finding the score sheet. The victory sent them into a final day showdown with France, needing an upset victory to claim their spot in the main tournament draw. The match, which was played at the Stade de France in Saint Denis could have seen Bosnias first ever qualification into a major soccer tournament if they were able to overcome the French side. Dzeko, who would be their leading scorer throughout the qualification process, shocked the stadium when he put the visitors ahead in the 40th minute sending them into half with a chance to defend for the win. However it wasnt to be as Emir Spahic fouled Dzekos Manchester City teammate Samir Nasri in the area and he converted the penalty to earn the draw and send France directly into Euro 2012. Bosnia and Herzegovina have a history in playoffs against Portugal as the two teams met in the final knockout stage qualifier for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Portugal advanced into the tournament with a 2-0 aggregate victory scoring both home and away 1-0 wins to eliminate the Bosnians. Darren McFadden Jersey .

Watson was so deep in the woods late Sunday afternoon that he couldnt even see where he was going. With his golf ball nestled on a bed of pine needles, he hit a gap wedge that shot out toward the fairway and hooked some 40 yards and onto the elevated green. Nothing less than the Masters was riding on the outcome. Nothing else would do except for a page right out of “Bubba golf.” And on a thrill-a-minute Sunday at Augusta National, where Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa made only the fourth double eagle in the 76-year history of this major, it made Watson a Masters champion. “Ive never had a dream go this far, so I cant really say its a dream come true,” Watson said. “I dont even know what happened on the back nine. ... Nervous on every shot, every putt. Went into a playoff. I got in these trees and hit a crazy shot that I saw in my head, and somehow Im here talking to you with a green jacket on.” His amazing shot in the playoff settled 10 feet from the hole, setting up a simple par for the win. Lost in all the commotion was Oosthuizen making what is commonly called the rarest shot in golf—an albatross—when his 4-iron from 253 yards on the par-5 second hole landed on the front of the green, took the slope and rolled some 90 feet into the cup for a two. Oosthuizen had never made a double eagle in his life. His Masters ended by watching a shot he didnt know existed. After hitting short of the 10th green in the playoff, he was in the fairway and could only see a trail of fans leading into the woods. “I had no idea where he was,” Oosthuizen said. “Where I stood from, when the ball came out, it looked like a curve ball. Unbelievable shot. That shot he hit definitely won him the tournament.” Watson, who made four straight birdies on the back nine and closed with a 4-under 68, made it all sound so simple. Maybe its because he has hit so many shots like that before. Maybe its because he is one of the few players who doesnt have a swing coach, and never has. “Hooked it about 40 yards, hit about 15 feet off the ground until it got under the tree and then started rising,” Watson said. “Pretty easy.” The hard part was holding back tears. He was blubbering hard on the 10th green, shoulders heaving and face contorted, for so many reasons. Just two weeks ago, he and his wife adopted a baby boy, Caleb. The first person on the green was his mother—his father died right after the Ryder Cup in 2010. He held her tight and cried some more. As incredible as it all seemed, Gerry (Bubba) Watson, Jr., the powerful lefty with a million shots at his disposal, was a major champion. “I never got this far in my dreams,” Watson said in Butler cabin, where defending champion Charl Schwartzel helped him into the green jacket. “Its a blessing. To go home to my new son, its going to be fun.” Oosthuizen was trying to join Gene Sarazen in the 1935 Masters as the only major champions to win with a double eagle in the final round. The former British Open champion made one clutch putt after another on the back nine, none more important than a four-footer on the 18th for a 69 to force the playoff. Both had a good look at birdie at No. 18 on the first extra hole and missed. Watson, dressed all in white and using a pink driver, hooked his tee shot on the 10th into the trees, and it appeared he would have no shot at reaching the green. Walking down the fairway toward an uncertain lie, he and caddie Ted Scott recalled their credo—“If I have a swing, Ive got a shot.” Among his idols in golf are Seve Ballesteros, who built a career on magical escapes like this one. It was the first Masters since Ballesteros died last May. Watson also admires Phil Mickelson, who never saw a flag that frightened him. “I attack. I always attack,” Watson said. “I dont like to go to the centre of the greens. I want to hit the incredible shot. Who doesnt? Thats why we play the game of golf, to pull off the amazing shot.” They finished at 10-under 278, two shots ahead of four players who kept it close and made the Masters as compelling as ever. Mickelson, playing in the final group for the fourth time, recovered from a triple bogey on the par-3 fourth hole and still managed to stay in the game. He could only make two-putt birdies on the two par 5s on the back and shot 72. “Its disappointing that I didnt grab that fourth green jacket,” said Mickelson, whose wife and three kids flew in from San Diego on Sunday. “Its disappointing that I didnt make it happen on the back nine and get the putts to fall, even thhough I felt like I was hitting them pretty good. Carson Palmer Jersey. . I gave them all good chances. I just couldnt quite get them to go.” Lee Westwood of England ran off three straight birdies, but the last one hurt. He had an eight-foot eagle putt to tie for the lead on the 15th and missed it, and a final birdie on the 18th gave him a 68 and only made it look close. “I dont feel like giving up just yet,” said Westwood, who had his seventh top-3 finish in a major since the 2008 U.S. Open. Matt Kuchar tied for the lead with a short eagle putt on the 15th, then bogeyed the 16th for a 69. Peter Hanson of Sweden, who had a one-shot lead going into the final round, didnt make a birdie until the 15th hole. He closed with a 73. Watson, a 33-year-old from Bagdad, Fla., in the Panhandle, won for the fourth time in his career and moves to No. 4 in the world, making him the highest-ranked American in golf. He became the fifth left-hander to win the Masters in the last 10 years. And he created a legion of fans—especially in Georgia, where he returned to school to get his degree—who chanted, “Bubba! Bubba! Bubba!” as he hugged everyone he could find on the 10th green. “I dont play the sport for fame. I dont try to win tournaments for fame,” Watson said. “I dont do any of that. Its just me. Im just Bubba. I goof around. I joke around. “I just want to be me and play golf.” Tiger Woods used to play practice rounds with Watson at the majors because he was intrigued how a guy who has never had a coach could make the ball move any direction he wanted. Watson hasnt had a lesson since he was 10. His father taught him the basic grip and basic swing, and Watson took it from there. The challenge has always been figuring out the game by himself. “I just swing funny, and somehow it works,” he once said. Woods was among those who congratulated Watson on Twitter before the trophy presentation. “Congrats (at)bubbawatson. Fantastic creativity. Now how creative will the champions dinner be next year?” he tweeted. Oosthuizen was trying to become only the sixth player to have won majors at Augusta National and St. Andrews—two of the most revered courses in golf—and almost got it done. He stayed in the lead with a tricky par putt from 10 feet on the 14th and a seven-foot birdie putt on the 15th, but Watson caught him by making his fourth straight birdie on the back nine, a tee shot into four feet on the 16th. Both hung on for pars the rest of the way. Woods went from the favourite to not even a factor on the weekend. He closed with a birdie on the 18th for a 74 and had his highest score ever at the Masters as a pro, finishing at 5-over 293—15 shots out of the lead. This, from a guy who only two weeks ago won by five shots at Bay Hill, presumably signalling a return. “It was an off week at the wrong time,” Woods said. He tied for 40th with U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, also favoured to contend. McIlroy was one shot out of the lead after two rounds, then had a 77-76 weekend. Woods and McIlroy were expected to be a big part of the show. This being Augusta, the show managed to go on. There simply is no greater theatre in golf than the Masters, and it lasted all day. An ace for Bo Van Pelt on the 16th—the second straight year he has made two eagles on the back nine—for a tournament-best 64. An ace for Adam Scott on the same hole, sending him to a 66. The loudest cheer was for Oosthuizens albatross. Hanson was sizing up a difficult chip from right of the first green when Augusta erupted in cheers from down below. No one was sure what it meant until Hanson and Mickelson hit their tee shots on the par-5 second, glanced over at the white leaderboard behind the eighth green and saw that Oosthuizen had gone from 7 under to 10 under ahead of them. Hanson made two quick bogeys and never caught back up. Mickelsons tournament might have ended on the fourth hole with one swing, one bad bounce off the bleachers, and two straight right-handed shots that led to triple bogey. “Oh, no,” Mickelson said as his tee shot struck the grandstand and caromed into the woods. He could have gone back to the tee and played his third shot. Instead, he tried to chop out of the trees from the right side and barely moved it a yard. He tried the same shot again and slapped it to a muddy patch of grass. From there he went into the bunker, and triple bogey was the best he could do. Kuchar made a late run, but this back nine— plus two extra holes—ultimately belonged to Watson and Oosthuizen. And when it was over, austere Augusta National had a guy named “Bubba” in a green jacket. ’ ’ ’
