Hey,
A ccording to me GERMANY are the best in their group.
Hey Suchit Gupta,
Serbia can kick ass. Sometime when your not busy look on youtube Serbia’s fans. And then commet back! Make sure you look at there team and everyone they beat.
After Serbia lost 6-0 to Argentina last World Cup, you seriously think they’re going to pull ahead of one of the most solid teams of all time?
Good luck with that.
I don’t see Serbia winning the group over Germany, they will most probably finish in second or third place depending on Ghana’s performance. I don’t see Honduras getting second or third place even, they will come last in their group.
