FIFA World Cup Betting: Even though they have been in this even several times before playing as Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro, this is the first time that World Cup betting action has involved Serbia as an independent country. For the second straight World Cup, the Serbians are involved in a very tough group though, so qualification for the knockout round won't be easy to say the least.

This was supposed to be a team that struggled to qualify for this tournament. However, with the World Cup odds stacked against them, the White Eagles came through with 22 goals and just enough points to win their group and force France into the playoff, which they would go on to win against Ireland.

D Nemanja Vidic is the heart and soul of Serbian soccer. He may not be a goal scorer by nature, but Vidic is the man that is going to be tabbed with the task of keeping Serbia's box clean of attackers. He was named the Player of the Year in the English Premier League for Manchester United in 2008-09 and was once again great for the Red Devils in club play this year.

The World Cup lines on Serbia show it as the third favorite to win Group D at +350. This is going to be a very competitive group, and though the odds are probably on Serbia's side, that doesn't mean that we feel that it is going to win the group or qualify for the next round. Everything will probably come down to that first match with Ghana. You can find World Cup odds of Serbia +6600 to win the whole enchilada at Bookmaker Sportsbook.
