Australians are ranked 30th in the Football world rankings. This FIFA 2010 will be their 3rd World Cup appearance. In 2006 they reached the 2nd round while in 1974 they were out in the first round. Pim Verbeek from Netherlands is their coach, who took over this position in 2007. Verbeek has ample of experience at club as well as international level. He took over from Graham Arnold and since then has turned the Australian team into a winning machine. Australia will for sure not be underestimated by their opponents, who failed to sense the warning signals in the year 2006.
Serbia on the other hand have a rugged approach and this quality has given them success on their first qualification attempt. In the qualifying rounds, Serbia finished ahead of France, who reached the 2006 World Cup football finals. FIFA World Cup 2010 is a dream come true for the Serbian football fans.Only in June 2006, Serbia was declared an independent state. Under coach Petkovic, the team was formerly linked to Montenegro who qualified for the 2006 football World Cup in Germany. They were in a strong group consisting of Argentina, Ivory Coast and the Netherlands. In 2006, Serbia failed to get past the group stage. Serbia in this FIFA 2010 in South Africa, will proudly stand alone for the first time as an independent country.
Serbian football team believes in defence and has a solid defence lineup with players like Vidic (who plays for Manchester United in the English premier league), Ivanovic (who plays for Chelsea) and Dragutinovic. All these players make a rock solid defence side. Stojkovic will be their first choice as a goalkeeper. Serbia had a best defensive record in Europe conceding only 1 goal in 10 matches played on their way to Germany. In the qualifiers, they conceded just 1 goal in 5 home matches.
