Enjoy the ultimate soccer matches between Croatia vs Serbia live stream soccer world cup qualifying match on pc
Qualification history
Serbia contested their first international match as an independent nation on 16 August 2006 in a 3-1 victory over Czech Republic. Prior to that, the country had played under the names of the former Yugoslavia and subsequently Serbia and Montenegro.
The White Eagles competed in their maiden FIFA World Cup™ qualification campaign under their current name en route to South Africa 2010. Drawn in a group alongside 1998 world champions France, as well as Austria, Lithuania, Romania and Faroe Islands, Serbia stole a surprise march on their rivals and qualified directly for the finals.
FIFA World Cup finals history
The former Yugoslavia were involved in nine FIFA World Cups between 1930 and 1998, finishing fourth at both Uruguay 1930 and Chile 1962. At the 2006 edition in Germany, Serbia and Montenegro lost all three of their group matches to bow out of the competition at the first hurdle.
Serbia suffered the same fate at South Africa 2010, where despite a surprise win against Germany they were again sent packing after first round defeats to Ghana and Australia.
The current crop
Like their predecessors, the present Serbia squad ranks among the most technically gifted teams in Europe. The majority of the side plays in the continent’s top leagues, mixing it with the stars of England, Italy and Germany on a weekly basis.
The key players
In defence, Nemanja Vidic and Branislav Ivanovic provide strength and stability, while the globetrotting Marko Pantelic and the towering Nikola Zigic comprise a varied forward line.
Coach: Sinisa Mihajlovic
Best performances in a FIFA competition: Men’s Olympic Football Tournament Rome 1960 (Winners), FIFA U-20 World Cup Chile 1987 (Winners), FIFA World Cup Uruguay 1930, Chile 1962 (Fourth place)
Former stars: Branko Zebec, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Dragan Stojkovic
Croatia :
Qualification history
After acceding to FIFA in 1992, Croatia entered qualifying for the 1998 FIFA World Cup™ in France and booked their ticket at the first attempt. Progress was smooth for a while after that as the Croats won their qualifying groups for both Korea/Japan 2002 and Germany 2006, but there was a major setback when they missed out on the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, finishing only third in their group behind England and Ukraine.
FIFA World Cup history
The Croats arrived for their maiden shot at the FIFA World Cup in 1998 as virtual unknowns, but were to prove one of the surprises of the tournament. They finished second in their group behind Argentina after losing 1-0 to the South Americans, but beating Jamaica 3-1 and Japan 1-0. A 1-0 win over Romania saw them through to the last eight and a meeting with Germany, where they stunningly won 3-0 to send the three-time world champions packing. Hosts and eventual winners France proved too strong in a 2-1 semi-final defeat, but the new boys crowned a dream debut by beating the Netherlands 2-1 in the third place play-off.
The next two tournaments proved thoroughly disappointing by comparison, as Croatia failed to survive the group stage at both Korea/Japan 2002 and Germany 2006.
The current crop
Despite their absence from the 2010 finals, Croatia are a match for anyone on their day. Their goal is to recapture the glory days of the late 90's golden generation, of which he himself was a member. With many players playing regularly in the English Premier League and the German Bundesliga, the prospect of a place at Brazil 2014 is realistic.
The key players
Experienced captain Darijo Srna is a born leader, and playmakers Luka Modric and Niko Kranjcar can always be relied upon for moments of inspiration. Igor Stimac presides over a wealth of international-class attacking talent including Eduardo, Ivica Olic, Nikita Jelavic, Mladen Petric and Mario Mandzukic.
Coach: Igor Stimac
