kojic2003 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: WC 2010 Qualifiers (Europe) 06 Jun 2009 Serbia coach Radomir Antic has called up 23 players for the upcoming WC 2010 Qualifying matches against Austria (H) and Faroe Islands (A). SERBIA Goalkeepers: Vladimir Stojkovic (Getafe), Vladimir Disljenkovic (Metalurg Donetsk), Bojan Isailovic (G'birligi) Defenders: Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea), Nemanja Vidic (Manchester United), Ivica Dragutinovic (FC Sevilla), Neven Subotic (Borussia Dortmund), Aleksandar Lukovic (Udinese), Antonio Rukavina (TSV 1860 Munchen), Ivan Obradovic (Partizan), Aleksandar Kolarov (Lazio) Midfielders: Dejan Stankovic (Inter Milan), Zdravko Kuzmanovic (Fiorentina), Nenad Milijas (Red Star), Gojko Kacar (Hertha BSC), Milos Krasic (CSKA Moscow), Bosko Jankovic (Genoa), Milan Jovanovic (Standard Liege), Miralem Sulejmani (Ajax) Forwards: Nikola Zigic (Racing Santander)*, Danko Lazovic (PSV Eindhoven), Marko Pantelic (Hertha BSC), Dragan Mrdja (Vojvodina) *Nikola Zigic will miss the Austria match through suspension Probable lineup: Serbia: Stojkovic - Ivanovic, Vidic, Dragutinovic, Obradovic - Krasic, Milijas, Stankovic, Jovanovic - Pantelic, Lazovic Serbia(1.44) to beat Austria!According to latest news, there will be a very good atmopshere at Maracana and the players are likely to have a very strong support in this absolutely crucial match.Surely, Austria will fancy their chances here, with the new coach in charge, but quality-wise they seem to be quite weaker than they used to be ahead of the first meeting.Serbia totally dominated in Austria, being 3:0 up after only 25 minutes or so, and they could have easily scored even more goals on the night.Generally speaking, Serbia are in a must-win situation against both Austria and the Faroes as they face the BIG FINAL of this group against France after these two matches.All the players and the coach are completely focused on this match, but the tiredness of many players keeps me away from any kind of HC betting.

Lithuania should have a psychological edge over Romania, having beaten them once already. Romania seem to be in a bit of a transitional phase, and Lithuania appear to have found a way at keeping it tight home and away. They've only conceded 3 goals in their last 6 homes, which included a 1-0 loss to France. I can't pick a winner in that game, so I'd go for a draw there. I wouldn't bet anything on Wales if my life depended on it. They are woeful. Truly awful at the minute. They're out of the World cup after some dreadful performances, so if anything I'd go for under 2.5 as their strikforce seem to be treading water right now. Craig Bellamy just looks pi**ed off all the time because of the inequality in the team. Ajerbaijan shouldn't cause a problem, but in reality neither team can qualify.

Albania are another team that should get hammered 6-0 every time against a side such as Portugal.....however....both sides have already drawn 0-0 in Portugal. Albania have produced some pretty decent results recently at home. Only losing 1-0 to Hungary. Beating Malta and Liechenstein and drawing with Sweden. I'm sure a lot of punters will lump on Portugal @ 1.50, but I don't see it as such an easy game. I can see it finishing 1 or 2 nil to Portugal, so Under 2.5 would be the call here. The game to be drawn at half time wouldn't surprise me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Bellamy just looks pi**ed off all the time because of the inequality in the team. Ajerbaijan shouldn't cause a problem, but in reality neither team can qualify. "Wales boss John Toshack has suffered another savage blow with the loss of West Ham midfielder Jack Collison from his depleted squad. It means that four players have been forced to withdraw from the party that travels to Azerbaijan in 24 hours. It leaves Toshack with a squad of just 19 for the trip to Baku for Saturday's World Cup qualifier, including three goalkeepers. The only addition to the travelling party has been Swansea winger Shaun MacDonald, 20. The loss of Collison is just another blow to Toshack's plans. When the squad re-assembled at their Slough hotel near Heathrow on Monday, the 20-year-old's knee injury - aggravated against Estonia on Friday - received a thorough examination by the Wales medical team. It was decided that he would travel to Baku, and that Toshack would consider his fitness after more treatment. But on Tuesday morning Collison trained with the Wales squad at Bisham Abbey, and afterwards it was decided that he would not be fit enough to travel. Football Association of Wales spokesman Ceri Stennett said: "A five-hour-plus flight would certainly not have helped Jack's knee, and it was clear after training that there was no point taking a risk with him." Toshack had already been reeling from the loss of Gareth Bale, Ched Evans and Sam Ricketts on Monday. Tottenham defender Bale had, it is believed, picked up a cartilage injury following an accident while he was at home with his parents in Cardiff on Sunday. The injury had not been sustained in Friday's 1-0 friendly international victory over Estonia at Llanelli, where Bale had played on the left of midfield and produced one of his best displays for Wales in winning his 20th cap. Hot on the heels of that blow, Manchester City youngster Ched Evans pulled out following a scan on a back injury he received against Estonia. Then Hull defender Ricketts withdrew with a back problem that had kept him out of the Estonia game, amid hopes that he would be fit to face Azerbaijan. Wales searched for replacements, but the vast majority of potential call-ups had not been in training since the beginning of May while others were already on holiday. It means that MacDonald, who has 18 under-21 caps and spent half of last season on loan at Yeovil, was the only player who could be found at such short notice to be added to the party. This fixture has been problematic for Wales after several weeks of visa problems, and coming as it does more than a month after the majority of their players from Football League clubs had stopped training. Toshack said: "Generally I have been very pleased with the placing of our fixtures in this group, but when you have six teams in a meeting all wanting their own way, sometimes you have to accept something that is not what you want. "Frankly, playing in the first week of June falls into that category, it was the game we were always worried about." The loss of Collison also throws up what Wales believe is little more than a minor problem. He has yet to play a competitive international for the Welsh after five previous caps. That means the Watford-born midfielder can still qualify for England, and he had said this week that by "pulling on a red shirt in Baku I will end that situation once and for all and show my allegiance". However, Collison will play against Russia in September in the next World Cup qualifier, and he insists he is determined to end any speculation about his international future by committing himself to Wales." The Welsh pool of talent appears to be thinning out...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: WC 2010 Qualifiers (Europe) 06 Jun 2009 Sweden and Portgual bankers of the day for me.Especially Portugal.Even draw results could throw out Portugal out of South Africa. 6st June National Day of Sweden...

Mozzi Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: WC 2010 Qualifiers (Europe) 06 Jun 2009 Eh, I don't back sides who go away to play Albania. They're better than people think, especially against a Portugal side who can't seem to beat anyone other than Malta. I like a draw here. Best value has to be a home win for Lithuania although at draw no bet. Romania haven't been the same since the Euros. Lithuania's 3-0 win flattered them in Romania as it was an even game, but by taking your chances you win games. I fancy the hosts because they're resilient, very hard to beat and have some talent in their ranks, as well as possessing a very good coach. Romania are now under new leadership, there's a bit of an unknown factor there but the home side are well-organised. France struggled to beat Lithuania both times and in my opinion, they shouldn't have won either. I'm going to call 2-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahno Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: WC 2010 Qualifiers (Europe) 06 Jun 2009 Croatia v Ukraine looks intresting. Croatia very confident and keep saying it will be easy match for them.Both teams know each other very well.First match ended 0-0 and i would give little advantage to Croatia.But is it going to be so easy for them this time? It reminds me about England v Ukraine,where England were strong favorite and at the end were lucky to win 2-1.I will give more info about Ukraine on friday or saturday but looks Mihaylechenko will have big choice up front as Sheva,Voronin,Milevsky and Kovpak("Tavria"top goal scorer in Ukraine 2008/2009) all fit and ready.

I agree with you,France beat hardly with a Lucky goal by Ribery.But Romanians think different.Important is whether Chivu and Mutu will be available or not otherwise I think Romania lost chance in Austria.Even 3 win and 2 draw will not be enough for Romania which France and Serbia have great fixture advantages.

Mozzi Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: WC 2010 Qualifiers (Europe) 06 Jun 2009 I'd still fancy Romania to finish above France as I have absolutely zero confidence in France's footballing ability anymore as a team.

Caveman Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Re: WC 2010 Qualifiers (Europe) 06 Jun 2009 I am tempted to play Serbia + Netherlands double @ 2,03 Cashpoint atm. Were clearest mismatches at first glance. Both opponents, Austria and Iceland are at least one class below deserved favorites. Serbia is playing hell of qualification this year, won 4 out of 5 matches, very good team and oviously nice team atmosphere atm. They already won in Austria 3:1 and I wouldn't be surprised to beat them again in handicap at home. Being 2 points in front of "almighty" France, they will do their duty at WE for sure... Netherlands are without any serious opponents in their group, won all their 5 matches. Sure, season is over in Netherlands and top European leagues, where most of squad plays, but as I know van Marwijk from his Dortmund times, he isn't kind of coach to give away such matches, though a draw would be ok for them. I'll await team news to decide stakes, but I think we'll see Netherlands A Team to make trip to skandinavian side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nori Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Re: WC 2010 Qualifiers (Europe) 06 Jun 2009 For those who are thinking of backing portugal,i suggest them to keep away from it. Albania are quiete a decent team at home, they only lost against hungary, which it was an unfortunate and unlucky for albania, was watching that game. Albania drew against portugal in portugal even though albania was playing with 1 player less coz of the red card in the first half. Also Albania got a new couch from croatia, just read it in the news rite now that he is going to play with two strikers Erjon Bogdani ( who plays for chievo, and played a great role in the survivibng of chievo along with Pelliser ) and the other striker is Hamdi Salihi, who is the top striker of the SV Ried in the Austrian super league. the midfildiers will probably be Skela (energie cottbus), Duro (Omonia), Lala ( Hannover) and their best player Lorik Cana (marseille) who is the most wanted player in the english premierleague. There is no missing player in defence either, the team looks in great shape and high spirits. my bets : Albania win or Albania draw :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also under a lot of pressure to win this game, if they don't they are almost surely out of the world cup! Albania are not on a level at all with Portugal but they have a few good players who are experienced and are certainly no mugs. Away matches are always tough and Portugal will need a big performance to beat the Albanians. No bet for me, maybe I will have a punt on the live score if i can't see something worth it.

Really like the Serbia & Netherlands double, both in impressive form and with players having had a couple weeks rest,im sure they'll come up with the goods. You dont lose your ability just because your club league campaign is finished, if anything they will be more relaxed and focused on the national teams aim. I also fancy Australia to carry on ther strong form against bottom of the group qatar, they beat them 4-0 in the reverse fixture and i think at 4/6 they are a decent price.
