Every Werder player who played a World Cup qualifier on Wednesday returned to Bremen as a winner. German defender Per Mertesacker played an excellent 90 minutes in Germany's 2-0 victory at Wales and he and German backup keeper Tim Wiese remained atop the qualifying Group 4.

 

A strong Sebastian Prödl helped Austria to a crucial 2-1 victory in Group 6 over Romania. With the home win in the sold-out Klagenfurt Wörtherseestadion the Austrians are just three points from second place and a spot in the relegation playoffs.

 

The Greek national team also secured an important three points with a 2-1 win at home over contenders Israel. Alexandros Tziolis, who nearly played the entire game on the weekend, was not called upon in Heraklion by coach Otto Rehhagel.

 

Denmark's Daniel Jensen had to be subbed out in the 34th minute of the 3-0 win over Albania with an Achilles tendon problem.

 

Hugo Almeida's Portuguese national team knocked off World Cup hosts South Africa 2-0 in a test match in which Almeida did not play.

 

Petri Pasanen and the Finnish national team also didn't have a qualifier and played a friendly against Norway, losing 3-2 despite a fine showing by Pasanen.
