Serbia’s Moment of Truth against Germany
The mechanical mighty Germans take on Serbia today and although Germany won a comfortable 4-0 game against Australia in its opening match, they will make sure that they don’t loose their pace. So what we expect to see is another game of steel by the indisputable German team. Although both teams are highly ambitions and looking for a win, the flags are waving for Germany!
Its goes to see without a doubt that Germany has one of the best teams in this years World Cup and although there are a few other favorites to win this 2010 FIFA tournament, don’t be surprised if the Germans walk home with the coveted trophy. We’ve seen how they walked over the hapless Australians, who could really do nothing to save their grace from falling. Although you could term Australia’s ineptness as the reason for their pitiable win, you cannot disregard the German midfield game.
The game against Serbia will answer a lot of questions for Germany as well as their supporters, firstly if Germany is really strong enough to take on the game, or was it just first game luck that helped them pull a fabulous victory!
Serbia lost 0-1 against Ghana if they fail to do well in this match against Germany they can very well start packing their bags to get back home. There will be no miracles that could get them back into the game. This will definitely cause a huge disappointment especially since the team has some amazing players like Nemja Vidic, Dejan Stankovic and Nikola Zigic.
Even Germany’s coach acknowledges Serbia ‘s players and says that this could probably be ITfor Serbia if they don’t do well. With some great players on Serbia’s side playing for top European and Spanish Clubs this could definitely be a winning team. Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is back after his recovery from cold, and the extraordinaire goalie Miroslav Klose has now got back his goalie touch.
Germany vs Serbia: World Cup 2010
Germany vs Serbia for World Cup 2010: Germany will play against Serbia on 18/06 13:30 in Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth
Is there any doubt that Germany will qualify for the World Cup 2010? The three-time world champions landed in Group 4 with 24 points. They garnered a remarkable eight win out of ten games and were never in trouble. Key to their qualification was two victories over Russia that permitted the Germans to conclude a World Cup berth with a game to spare in the qualifiers. The lone setback the team suffered came on 10 November last year when Robert Enke a goalkeeper who was expected to be on the roster of Germany’s World Cup next year as a backup, committed suicide. He was 32. Their key to qualification is efficiency.
Yes, the Germans efficient, that is the best way to describe how they went out about their games, racking up victories in the qualifiers on their way to clinching a World Cup spot. Their Star player is Michael Ballack and Miroslav Klose who scored a team-high seven goals in the qualifiers it included the game-winner against Russia in Moscow.
Their potential problem is that they could be more creative in midfield. Chelsea star Michael Ballack can carry the bulk of the playmaking duties, but other players need to provide a bit of creative work and remove some pressure off the German captain.
Not like last year, Serbia can no longer pick from a talented pool of Montenegrin players, but it did not slow them down one bit to get in the qualifiers. Serbia made an impressive win in Group 7 with 22 points that beat France they were the 1998 world champions and also finalists in 2006 to get an automatic World Cup berth. With Inter Milan’s Dejan Stankovic pulling the imaginative strings in midfield and Nemanja Vidic Manchester United that will anchor a solid back line. The Serbs made a run through the qualifiers that left France in their wake.
Their key to being qualified is team effort. They notably topped their group in front of France, 2006 World Cup runners-up thanks to the whole team effort, with the defenders also helping out in the offensive contributions and the attacking midfielders helping out the back four.
The result is a comprehensive 5-0 win against Romania last 10 October 2009 in Belgrade and concluded the first place in the group for them that forced France into the European playoffs. Their star player is Midfielder Milan Jovanovic who became the revelation of the qualifiers for Serbia that scored a team-high five goals and using his attacking instincts to assist teammates with scoring chances.
Their potential problems are the forwards, especially Nikola Zigic and Marko Pantelic who do not intimidate the guts of opposing defenders. Serbia’s two strikers have to produce more and play more scientific with their finishing in the front goal. This will be an interesting World Cup 2010 Germany vs. Serbia game to watch.
