Bosnia-Herzegovina qualified for their first ever World Cup finals last night courtesy of a 1-0 win over Lithuania which saw them finish top of Group G and bump boring, boring Greece (who managed a paltry 12 goals during qualifying compared to Bosnia’s 30) down into the play-off spot.

It was shortly after that the whole of Sarajevo went completely barmy (click to flick)…

Madness. Pure, jubilant madness!

    Haven’t seen scenes like these since they came 18th in Eurovision Song Contest in 1986. Good Luck in Rio Bosnia-Herzegovinio

    Definitely feels great to qualify for the first time to a big competition as an independent country! Just a reminder, we were eliminated twice by Portugal in those god-damn play-offs recently! It was really something to get crazy in streets of Sarajevo last night, thanks to our beloved Zmajevi (english: Dragons) for that!! We are small, but we play good attacking football and have some really nice players in our squad.

    Makes us look like a load of tossers. All I did when England won was make myself a brew and proclaim it a ‘bloody good show’. Good to see some Eastern-European flare is guaranteed to be at the worldies. Good luck Bosnia, you shall be my second team.
