Serbia coach Radomir Antic has warned his team they will have play better than they ever have before if they are to see off the stand-out team of the World Cup to date.

The Serbians face Germany knowing defeat could ensure their exit from the tournament having lost 1-0 to Ghana in their opening game before Germany dismantled 10-man Australia 4-0.

"Our opponent is the team which played the best game in the first part of this World Cup," said Antic. "We must not have any burden preventing us from reaching our goal and each player has to do better than he has done before."
