It is fair to describe Serbia and Montenegro as one of Europe's surprise packages. They beat off stiff competition in Group 7 from Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Belgium, to claim one of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ places reserved for group winners. \nSerbia and Montenegro were one of eight European teams to remain undefeated throughout the qualifying campaign, winning six of their 10 fixtures and drawing the other four. After twice holding closest rivals Spain and drawing away in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ilija Petkovic's cohorts sealed direct qualification with a decisive home victory over their Bosnian neighbours in their last match. Mateja Kezman was the hero on the night, sparking a collective outpouring of joy with his fifth strike during qualification. \n\nSerbia and Montenegro appeared on the international stage under the banner of Yugoslavia until 2003. The team made the semi-finals at the very first FIFA World Cup in 1930, taking the lead against eventual champions Uruguay but finishing on the wrong end of a 6-1 defeat. They appeared at six further finals, most recently with a highly-fancied side at France 98 where they lost 2-1 to the Netherlands in the last 16. \n\nA turning point arrived in June 2003 when Serbia and Montenegro lost to Azerbaijan in the preliminary stage of UEFA EURO 2004. The defeat hastened Petkovic's arrival in place of Dejan Savicevic, and the national team known as Plavi, or the Blues, by their passionate fans subsequently marched from one success to the next. They will enter the finals in Germany having not lost a competitive fixture under their coach. \n\nTheir star names include Atletico Madrid's Kezman, Dejan Stankovic of Inter Milan, and experienced Osasuna hitman Savo Milosevic. However, the real jewel in the crown is Europe's best defensive line: they put up the continent's meanest performance in their ten qualifying fixtures with just one goal condeded, Spain's effort in the 1-1 draw in Madrid. Keeper Dragoslav Jevric and a back four marshalled by captain Mladen Krstajic of Schalke take much of the credit. \n\n"The harmonious blend in the team is the secret of our success," coach Petkovic observes. "We have to keep up the hard work, as we cannot rest on our laurels just because of past success." Petkovic and his men face an exciting few months, although the coach has spotted one unusual issue: "People seem to have problems pronouncing the name of our country." However, that will be the least of his worries when Germany 2006 gets underway. \n\nmore info at:

Well first of all, I think that Serbia and Montenegro's girls are cuties! :)\n\nBut well, in the World Cup, they got hard teams to play. I personally like how Kezman plays in Atletico de Madrid, but seems that he didn't show his soccer abilities at this cup, part of that is because he got expelled in the match against Argentina, so he could show his good soccer against Cote dIvore.\n\nI don't know the other players in that team, but they maked Spain to go second in the Qualification round, when Spain was the favourite to win that group. So that is a lot for this team, that in the next world cup I think they are going to show good soccer.\n\nPD: I also like Kezmans beard style!.

Hmmmmmmmm i dont know. The team spirit in Serbian cmp was low as Serbia & Montenegro are now separate countries, the lack of unity in the team was evident. I also think Argentina face the danger of peaking too early. Remember 2002 where they played brilliantly before the Wc then lost their way ? but i must say that was a mesmerizing performance, beautiful!

Serbia and Montenegro definitely should not be underestimated. Of course the defense with the "Famous Four" has already been widely celebrated because they only received 1 goal during the World Cup qualification matches.\n\nHowever, their midfield is also strong with Djordjevic and Stankovic, and they have a very dangerous striker Kezman.\n\nGroup C is really going to be a very tough group. Personally, I think The Netherlands and Serbia & Montenegro are going through to the second round, although it's going to be close.\n\nIt really is just impossible to predict.\n\nJudging by your name "Nenad", I guess you are Serbian yourself? I'm from the Netherlands and I've visited your country many times. It's beautiful and I love the Serbian people. Good luck to you in the World Cup!
