The Dark Horse

Finally the most awaited tournament on the planet kicks of on june 11th...... N sports pages in newspapers r full of predictions ! Well well....  Every body is mentionin the names of  usual suspects brazil, Argentina n blah blah..... But no body has spoken abt a dark horse yet... let me do that :)

My pick this time for the dark horse is "Serbia".......... Well i can hear the scratching of your heads :) now why have i said that ? Read On

Whos the defender from serbia tht any team would like sign this summer ? Subotic........ He has made his name at dortmund........... especially in the past year he has become some what a cult figure in germany...... that even propelled his club pesident to remark "Any club who wanna buy him will have to come wid 2 truck loads full of money !"

Subotic will pair up Manchester United Hardman Nemanja Vidic at the back....... This central defensive partnership can stand against wave after wave of attacks and forms the bed rock for serbian success........ Not to mention Vidics thunderous headers from set pieces will contributed to scoring as well... Coming to the full backs serbia bosts the likes of Branislav Ivanovic who was regular in the premiership winning chelsea team this season... He made the pemier league team of the year too ! Ivanaovic along with Lazios Aleksandar Kolarov can definetly be dubbed good full backs if not the best....

Coming to midfield... Serbia has one of the most creative and stylish play makers in all of europe in the form of Milos Krasic who ran rings around defences in the champions league this year... he along with Manchester United wide man Zoran tosic can unlock even the most stubborn of the defences... Tosics fortunes have been revived in the second half of the season after movin to german side cologne on loan... I still cannot understand why Sir Alex kep such a talent in the United Reserves ! Krasics trickey combined with the calm presence of Inter Milan's Dejan Stankovic will mean Serbia has one the best midfields among the 32 teams... The midfield will definetly strike balance with either Jovanovic who earned a move to liverpool or stuggarts Kuzmanovic in the frame...

Serbia's troops will be spear headed by Valencia's Giant striker Zigic (Hes 6'8) ........ Speculation suggests Rafa Benitez could sign him as well this summer.... In my opinion he will have jovanovic playin just behind him in the hole instaed of another striker givin him a chance to exploit spaces created by the new liverpool recruit !

As i previously pointed Serbia have 2 of the sweetest dead ball specialists in Krasic and Tosic which means we can expect planty of goals from free kicks as well !

Now do u agree serbia will give all the big heads a run for their money ? :) I told u tht din i ..
