    List of called-up players:

    Midfield: Dejan Stanković, Zdravko Kuzmanović, Nenad Milijaš, Gojko Kačar, Miloš Krasić, Boško Janković, Milan Jovanović, Miralem Sulejmani

    Unavailable players: Nikola Žigić( bookings), Ivan Obradović(injury).


    Day D for Serbian football. If we take 6 points from these 2 matches we could be on our way to South Africa.If we take a look at the standings:

    Serbia (5 matches, 12 points)
    France( 5 matches, 10 points)

    and schedule:

    Serbia:Austria(H), Faroes(A),France(H), Romania(H), Lithuania(A)
    France:Faroes(A),Romania(H),Serbia(A),Faroes(H), Austria(H)

    We can see that Serbia is in a slightly better position than France(I am saying this particularly because of that burden of the favorite which is laid on France, and because of our home soil advantage in a direct duel against them).
    Of course it wont be easy against either Austria or Faroes.Faroe Islands have pretty strong defense(they have conceded only 5 goals thus far, bunkering style), and Austrians are on the run since Ditmar Constantini took over(they beat Romania 2:1).
    Build-up to Austria match is great, according to all reports stadium is sold out.According to Antic we will play offensively, and this is possible team:
    ------------Stojković------------

    Ivanović--Vidić-Subotić--Kolarov

    Krasić-Stanković-Milijaš-Jovanović

    --------Lazović------Pantelić--------

    NAPRIJED SRBIJOOOOO!

    saw the second half on the web, Subotic scored on a nice head-ball to put the game out of reach.

    Serbia is now 8 points clear of France, who have 2 games in hand (and have yet to face the Faroe Islands).

    The big game vs France looming in September
