A lot of time has passed since the last WC qualifiers, and I can tell you I couldn’t wait for this international break and some pretty important games that are on the way. Serbia played it’s last competitive games against Lithuania and Austria, dispatching both of it’s rivals in a rather [...]

It seems rather bizzare to read this, but Serbian football has actually moved to Cyprus these days. Not only does the senior NT play a friendly tournament with Cyprus, Slovakia and Ukraine, but also the Serbian U21 plays a friendly game against the island nation. Crvena Zvezda (Red Star), arguably the country’s [...]

Well, it’s been a long time since my last post on this blog, and while there aren’t many games I’ve missed writing about (just the Austria qualifer and a friendly against Bulgaria), there ceratinly are a lot of things going on with Serbian football. Now, why did I put this headline? I [...]

Today at 20:15 CET, Belgrade and the Serbian NT will host one of the most pleasant surprises in the WC qualifiers so far, Lithuania. Few could have imagined that in the group consisted of France, Serbia, Romania and Austria, Lithuania would be the team to reach the top of the group and show [...]

Going away to France is probably every nation’s hardest qualifying match, and unless you come from Scotland, you won’t expect anything good to come out of your little trip to Stade de France. [...]

One of the most common dillemas for a football fan is whether to be satisfied whenever his team gets all 3 points, or to remain critical regarding the level of play it has shown on the pitch. Last night, Serbia played Faroe Islands at home and non-surprisingly managed to defeat the island [...]

Hello to everyone, my name is Nikola and I’ll be the new blogger at the Serbia World Cup Blog, and if I’m not mistaken (and I may be), the first one to actually come from Serbia. Now, that has three major consequences: first of all, I’ll have more information available to me than anyone who [...]

Ahead of the February 6 friendly against Macedonia, new gaffer Miroslav Đukić has called up his first senior team. (Please notice what appears to be a bottle of beer on the table in front of him — that’s my kind of press conference.)
Goalkeepers: Radiša Ilić (OFK Beograd), Damir Kahriman (Konyaspor).
Defenders: Antonio Rukavina (BV Borussia Dortmund), [...]
