Match Preview Of Germany vs Serbia

Serbia suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ghana while Germany enjoyed a comfortable 4-0 win over Australia on Match-day One of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. When both sides will meet on Friday at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, who will have the last laugh?

Seating third in Group D with no point and a (-1) goal difference, Serbia are in danger of crashing out from the 2010 World Cup in the first round. The robust side, best known for its strong defense, was deceived by a spirited Ghanaian team that believed in its positive game plan from A to Z.

For Serbians, their regret is based on the fact that despite their defensive tactics against the Black Stars of Ghana, there were still numerous chances in attack for them to snatch a victory. Skipper Dejan Stankovic lamented Serbia’s loss on Match-day One, saying:

“It was a very negative start for us. We had our opportunities, but we couldn’t make the most out of them. Now, we have to show the desire to overcome our difficulties.”

The issue has become a do-or-die affair for the Serbians. They had a very good 2010 World Cup qualification campaign and they cannot afford to let their dream of shining on the world stage fade away by going too soon. Fully aware of Serbia’s condition and ready to bounce back, forward Milan Jovanovic called for courage against Germany. The player analyzed the situation, explaining to the media:

“Our defeat against Ghana as influenced our mood. We expected to win the match and we are all hurt by the failure to do so. We couldn’t accomplish our aim against an inferior opponent. Now we are in a position where it’s imperative for us to get as many points as possible against better teams than us [Germany and Australia].

Milan Jovanovic continued:

“Against Australia, Germany were very impressive. So far, this is the team that has made the biggest impact [with a 4-0 victory]. They are like a machine. They have seven players going forward. If we want to upset them, we will have to show no fear and also play at our best, because we will be facing a better team.”
Confident Germany Poised To Win AgainGermany's national football players running their way onto the pitch for their match against Australia.

Serbia will certainly need to play a game plan that will prevent Germany from the midfield to attack. Actually, Joachim Lowe’s boys are fast and looking for nothing else than to score. Bayern Munich’s trio composed of Muller, Lucas Podolski, and Miroslav Klose has offered Germany the perfect way to stay true to their style of play.

Milan Baros look alike Sami Khedira ruled out any sign of complacency from the German side, but underlined the team’s confidence ahead of the clash.

“The Serbians have a lot of quality. They have fantastic footballers. The game will be a very different one from what we played against Australia. Serbia are really fired up to play against us. They really want to beat us. If they lose, it will mean that they’ll be out. To concentrate from the start, just as we did against Australia, will be key. But we will win the match if we stick to our game plan.”

In fact, the Germans proved on Match-day One that Michael Ballack’s absence from the squad wasn’t a burden but rather the greatest source of motivation. The players in the squad seem very much aware of the extra effort that needs to be generated by each individual in order to cover all the obstacles that worried Coach Joachim Lowe in terms of squad selection ahead of the 2010 World Cup.

A 4-0 defeat of Pim Verbeek’s Socceroos of Australia; what more was needed for Germany to prove that they have the guts to do even better than they did four years ago when they hosted the tournament? In the German national football team, confidence looks solid and the patriotic love for the nation is certainly the motor that intensifies the club’s strength.

Anyone will just have to remember what happened in the knock-out stage match between Germany and Argentina during the last World Cup, when Polish-born Lucas Podolski’s Nazi salute in direction of Angela Merkel’s VIP seat in the stand pretty much sealed the ace’s commitment to the country. Well, the Germans are looking forward to emulating the last squad (which included the legendary Franz Beckenbauer) that won gold in the 1990 World Cup.

Defeating Serbia on Friday will not only seal their qualification into the last 16 of the 2010 World Cup, but also offer them a huge boost of confidence to achieve their dream of lifting the trophy come July 11.

England vs Algeria Match Preview

Both teams will see this match as a must win when Algeria square up against England in a Group C encounter in Cape Town on Friday.

Algeria's Nadir Belhadj thinks his team can beat EnglandAlgeria have never made it past the group stage in their two previous World Cup appearances in 1982 and 1986, although they did cause quite a stir when they upset the West Germans in 1982.

That particular result led to controversy as the West Germans and Austrians later contrived a 1-0 West German victory that served to pass both of those European countries through to the knockout phase at the expense of the Algerians.

But that’s their history and this is 2010.

Algeria lost 1-0 to Slovenia in their first match in this World Cup and sit last in Group C. Now they need a win over England to guarantee a chance of survival.

After seeing how the Three Lions squad failed to dispatch the USA, Algerian defender Nadir Belhadj for one thinks his team can do it.

Algerians see problems in England’s defense

"We have seen some gaps, especially in their defense,” said Belhadj, “and, if we can take advantage of those gaps…maybe it could make the difference and we could create history by qualifying from the group stages.”

The English are not immune to being upset by a lesser football power. Their 1-0 loss to USA in Brazil in the 1950 World Cup is the most commonly cited example. Last weekend’s 1-1 draw with the USA only serves to show that the modern England squad is vulnerable too.

Robert Green’s unfortunate blunder gifted the USA a goal and a share of the points, but despite largely dominating play against the Americans the English seldom looked truly dominant.

With the loss of Rio Ferdinand and with Ledley King doubtful, Belhadj’s observation isn’t far off the mark. The English do indeed seem vulnerable at the back.

Ferdinand’s knee injury, suffered in a training ground encounter, ruled him out of the tournament before it started, and motivated England boss Fabio Capello to call up Michael Dawson of Tottenham to replace the Manchester United man.

Talented but fragile defender Ledley King suffered a groin strain in the match against the USA and is said to be doubtful for the Algeria match. If King is unable to start Capello will have to make a decision on whom to play at the back. Dawson joins two other players in the frame for central defense: Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher and West Ham’s Matthew Upson.

The English at least can be comforted knowing that Gareth Barry is once again fit and is set to start against Algeria, having recovered from an ankle injury suffered while playing for his club, Manchester City, last month.

But the starting goalkeeper is another area of decision for Capello. Will he go with Green again, despite his calamitous error against the USA?

Is the Jabulani a factor?

For his part, Green admitted the mistake was all his and nothing to do with the apparently unpredictable qualities of the much maligned Jabulani ball.

"You prepare mentally for making those mistakes - that's what you do the preparation for before a game. You don't let it affect you. I'm not blaming the ball, I should have stopped it and there's no two ways about it” said the West Ham ‘keeper.

Capello put things in perspective. “He made one mistake, a big mistake, but in the second half he also made one great save,” the manager said. “He saved that really, really well.” We’ll probably not know until Friday whether Green will get another chance.

Yet the Algerians come into the match with England having suffered a similar fate. The goal that gave their Slovenian opponents the vital three points last weekend also came as a result of a goalkeeping error.

Algerian keeper Chaouchi should have dealt with Koran’s shot easily. Instead he allowed the shot to bounce off his arm and into the goal. The Jabulani factor?
England striker Wayne Rooney needs to get his scoring boots on Both teams need a win

A loss to England means an early trip home for the Algerians. A win, albeit unlikely, is probably the only chance they have of survival, and Belhadj and company will undoubtedly approach the match with the attitude that nothing is impossible.

England’s defensive worries are certainly troublesome, but they’d be offset some if striker Wayne Rooney were to get himself on the score sheet. Rooney hasn’t scored for his country in six matches, and although others among the English are capable of bulging the onion bag, the sight of Rooney doing for England what he did so well for Manchester United this season would undoubtedly warm the cockles of English hearts as they prepare to face the big boys in the knockout stages. But first they have to avoid being upset by Algeria.

Greece vs Nigeria Match Preview

Match-day One’s two losers in Group B, Greece and Nigeria, will lock horns in a must-win game for both sides on Thursday, June 17. The venue is the Free Stat Stadium in Bloemfontein, and kick-off time is at 15:00 GMT.
Nigeria's Yakubu Aiyegbeni on the ground with Argentina's Gabriel Heinze.Nigeria’s Super Eagles To Be Crashed Down To The Ground?

"Nobody expected us to beat Argentina. Nothing's changed. We just have to prepare ourselves right and go and play with the same heart and desire."

That is what Nigeria’s Etuhu said following is side’s opening match defeat to Diego Maradona’s Argentina. So the boys from ‘Naija’, as their country is nicknamed, are set to bounce back on Match-day Two with a victory over Greece.

Nigeria could be the first African country to bow out from the 2010 FIFA World Cup competition in the first round, and this is a horrible fate the country and its national football team won’t be able to tolerate. In other words, such a reality will be a real nightmare.

Thanks to Vincent Enyeama’s heroics against the Albicelestes, the Nigerians have proven that there two things they can do almost perfectly: to defend and to deal quite well with the opposition’s rapid football characterized by accurate passes. Actually, the Super Eagles didn’t put up a bad show against Argentina but their front men will have to come under interrogation.

Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Uche were far from being impressive, the latter missing two glorious chances to score a goal for Nigeria. Coach Lars Lagerback may consider starting Peter Odemwingie alongside Obafemi Martins with the aim of genuinely seeking to get at least a goal and bag a victory in the end.

Now if the Super Eagles are plotting to ravage Greece’s Pirate Ship, the Greeks are also looking to hoist the sails and float forward. Can they cut the wings of the Nigerians? Greece's Sergio Ramos in action against South Korea.

The answer is yet to be known, but any Greek fan would want to believe that the country’s soccer team has what it takes to overturn the 2-0 defeat they suffered against South Korea. Key player Georgio Samaras shared his ideas ahead of Greece’s game against Nigeria. Speaking exclusively to FIFA.com, the attacker declared:

“We have to get back to what makes us a good team when we face Nigeria. When a player commits a mistake, the player closest to him has to react immediately and work twice as hard to solve the issue. If we lose, our World Cup dream will be dead. This is the same condition for Nigeria.”

Georgios Samaras also told Goal.com:

“We are hoping for the best to happen. Two more games remain, two difficult games against tough teams. But, we will do our best.”

The group’s other game between Argentina and the Korea Republic is set to kick off earlier on Thursday, at 11:30 GMT. By the time Greece and Nigeria finish playing, Group B might be completely decided.

New Zealand vs Slovakia Match Preview

The Royal Bafokeng Stadium will host New Zealand vs Slovakia on June 15, at 11:30 GMT. The match is portrayed as a meeting between Group F’s two underdogs.

Martin Skrtel of Slovenia happy as his team reaches South Africa 2010The truth is that, following Italy and Paraguay’s 1-1 draw on Monday night, New Zealand and Slovakia both have the chance of topping the table with a victory. It’s down to these two outsiders to show that they can emulate what Slovenia did in Group C – which was to clinch the top spot after match-day one despite the presence of big guns England and the USA in their section.

Slovakia – Rock In Defense Martin Skrtel Shares His Optimism

Slovakia shocked Europe when they secured an automatic 2010 World Cup finals spot last year. The Repre created history by reaching their first ever World Cup tournament and not even 2006 World Cup participants Poland and the Czech Republic could get in their way. Slovakia are not willing to give up and they are in an optimistic mood ahead of their campaign in South Africa which will kick off with a match against New Zealand on Tuesday.

Speaking exclusively to Fifa.com, Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel gave information about Slovakia’s spirit and vision going into their first ever World Cup match, noting that the atmosphere in the squad was a good one. Expressing his confidence against the threat that New Zealand could pose.

Slovakia are fresh from an emphatic 3-0 defeat of Costa Rica. A trademark defensive performance will benefit them a lot against a side like New Zealand who have a feble goal scoring record. The Repre have let only one goal into their net in as much as 270 minutes of friendly match football.

Castrol World Cup match predictor indicated that Slovakia are poised to win with 59% of chances compared to New Zealand’s 19% of chances. Actually, if Slovakia manage to make the game theirs within the first ten minutes of the match, one will expect them to go on and tear down New Zealand without any mercy.

Netherlands vs Denmark Match Preview

The Oranje will kick off their 2010 FIFA World Cup campaign at last on Monday, June 14. The Netherlands will play in an all-European tie against Denmark at 12:30 GMT.

Holland players celebrating together.Netherlands – Some Players In, Some Players Out

Starting off with some bad news about the Oranje, winger Arjen Robben is set to miss his side’s match against the Danes. The Bayern Munich forward injured his hamstring against Hungary in a friendly match where he scored a brace to help the Netherlands win 6-1 in the end. Coach Bert van Marwijk confirmed Arjen Robben’s exclusion’s from Monday’s World Cup clash.

Robben is not the only player whose name won’t be in Coach Bert van Marwijk’s starting lineup. Ryan Babel, Ibrahim Afellay, and Eljero Elia are all expected to start from the bench. Holland’s presumed 4-2-3-1 formation will rather comprise the likes of players like Dirk Kuyt and De Jong.

Denmark defenders might have breathed a sigh of relief at this news, but the certain return of Rafael Van der Vaart indicates that the Danes should think twice. The Real Madrid midfielder, who scored a goal in the Netherlands’ 4-1 defeat of Ghana back on June 1, should find his place in the starting lineup.
Denmark To Upset The Oranje?

So Denmark stunned Portugal in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Can they overcome the Netherlands for a perfect start in Group E?

Well, the fact is that Denmark will have to battle it out without the services of Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner. The player has failed to recover in time from his groin injury so Danish fans will have to wait a few more days to know the fate of Denmark’s ace.

In the meantime, Coach Morten Olsen will have to content himself with the good news that first choice keeper Thomas Sorensen is now fully fit. The shot stopper will take his spot in goal as he has now recovered from his elbow injury. Will he be deceived by the potential of players like Van Persie or Wesley Sneijder?
