Coach: Ilja Petkovic Star Players: Mateja Kezman, Dejan Stankovic, Nemanja Vidic Tournament Best: N/A Last Time: N/A Qualifying: Top of European Group 7 Top Scorer In Qualifying: Mateja Kezman 5
Serbia and Montenegro qualified for the World Cup conceding only one goal along the way (in a 1-1 draw with Spain).
Their seven-match run of clean sheets prior to that goal was a World Cup qualifying record.
It is this mean defence that the team is based on and captain Mladen Krstajic and Manchester United's January signing Nemanja Vidic are at the heart of it.
Mateja Kezman, formerly of Chelsea, is the focus of the attack and they also carry an aerial threat in Darko Kovacevic and Savo Milosevic.
A lack of midfield creativity could be their downfall and they will rely heavily on Inter's Dejan Stankovic to carve out chances for the strikers.
Serbia and Montenegro will struggle to qualify from a strong group, but Argentina, Holland and the Ivory Coast will find goals very hard to come by against them.
