Final Analysis:
Man of the Match, Mr. Alberto Undiano Mallenco. He is a name we all know now folks.

But give great credit to Milan Jovanovic, the future Liverpool man, showing his quality, as well as Milos Krasic, the future Juventus winder, displaying why he was such a force in the Champions league this year for CSKA Moscow.

Germany were truly outstanding considering the circumstances, but Lukas Podolski reverted back to club form today, especially on a tame penalty that Vladimir Stojkovic read the right way.

And it is why he definitely deserves Man of the Match for a terrific win for Serbia, putting Group D is serious disarray:

Lineups:
Germany:Neuer, Friedrich, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Podolski, Klose, Muller, Badstuber, Lahm, Mertesacker

Serbia: Stojkovic, Kolarov, Vidic, Ivanovic, Stankovic, Jovanovic, Zigic, Krasic, Ninkovic, SUBOTIC, Kuzmnaovic
I really do believe Serbia get the 2-0 win today folks. This is the perfect bounce back game from them.

1st half analysis:
The man of the match is quite clearly referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco. Consider this, and you will see why giving cracks is literally this man's crack:
Obviously German's fans will forever not like this guy at all, and that's saying it nice. Hell, maybe even Serbia fans will be indifferent to him, especially if he sends one of their players off soon as well.

That is the only way for Germany to get back in this match, because after Kherida's terrific effort rattled the bar, Serbia will make the adjustments with the man advantage and break down Germany, putting Group D, my "Group of Death" at tournament's beginning, in serious disarray.
