Chances:
Qualified ahead of France and with quality through the spine of the team in the shape of Nemanja Vidic, Stankovic and the giant Nikola Zigic up front, they would be a good bet for a last-16 place, and possibly a quarter-final.

Zoran Tosic goes by the nickname “Bombi”. While most thought it was a reflection on the dear boy’s slight frame and spindly legs he begs otherwise. His mum used to send him off to training with biscuits in the shape of a deer to share with his teammates.
