WCQ Preview: Serbia – France

By: Nikola | September 9th, 2009 | 5 Comments »

The game of the decade? The game that sends The White Eagles to South Africa? The game after which Domenech gets fired? Nobody knows for now, but that game is here – Les Bleus are in Belgrade and they seem rather aware of what this game means. For them, it is a chance to keep their automatic qualification dreams alive. For Serbia, it is a chance to make that dream a reality. In other words, the football ones, Serbia leads France by 4 points with 3 games remaining until the end of the qualifiers for both sides. A victory for Serbia sends the home nation packing for the 2010 World Cup, a draw leaves Serbia in the driving seat in the race to qualify from the top, while a victory for France leaves Serbia on the top of the group but assures that the battle for automatic qualification lasts until the very end of the qualifiers. So, while even a French victory wouldn’t make them feel safe (their fate wouldn’t be in their own hands), it wouldn’t really make Serbia feel comfortable going to the last round of qualifiers with some potentially tricky games against Romania and Lithuania left to be played in October. Therefore, if The White Eagles want to build on their past successes, defeat on Wednesday isn’t really an option. The whole nation has been waiting for this game to come and I swear I’ve never seen such optimism and positive energy regarding this country’s football team. If there is an ideal atmosphere for a game of this scale and importance, then we’ve got it right here in Belgrade. A preview to follow:
