Germany U21s qualify for European Championships
2014 WC Qualification
Sejad Salihovic faced Lithuania in Bosnia and Herzegovina's home World Cup qualifier. ‘Sali' secured a 3-0 win, playing the full 90 minutes. Sandro Wieser was also involved in World Cup qualification with Liechtenstein in Latvia. Wieser also played the entire game but couldn't prevent his side from losing 2-0. Daniel Williams was involved in the USA team's 3-1 victory over Guatemala in Kansas City. The victory, one that Williams played all of, gives the US lads the upper hand in their group.
U21 European Championship play-off
Rainer Adrion's team were 3-1 victors in an engaging second leg European Championship play-off against Switzerland on Tuesday evening. TSG's Sebastian Rudy, Stefan Thesker and Kevin Volland were all in the squad. While Rudy and Thesker played the entire game, Volland, who was brought on in the first leg, didn't play this time around. After the victory, the squad donned Boris Vukcevic's jersey to show their battle for victory had been for him. Filip Malbasic was brought on in the 59th minute for Serbia's U21 side in their second leg against England. Just as they did in the first leg though, Serbia lost 1-0. The same could be said for Jannik Vestergaard and the Denmark U21s. A 3-1 defeat to Spain meant Denmark missed the chance to compete in Israel next year. Vestergaard did not play.
