Belgrade has it all .......

Serbia and Montenegro play their final warm up game before the World Cup starts in Belgrade today and everything is in their favour.

The weather is hot and sunny (30 degrees), they have a full strength squad and will probably start with the 11 that will face the Netherlands on June 11. The stadium will have a 40,000 + crowd, to create a party atmosphere and say goodbye to their heroes.

Opponents, Uruguay, are also playing their part, 13 regulars have been "rested" and they are coming with a "b" team. To make matters worse, or better, many of these played in the match v Romania on Tuesday night in Los Angeles and two days earlier against Northern Ireland in New York! That is some 14,ooo+ air miles and goodness knows how many time zones.

Very strong home selection for me.

5 points Serbia and Montenegro -1/2 1.99 asian line 1.95 william hill
