Names like Vidic, Zigic and Jovanovic on the roster make this team legit. Former Real Madrid and Barcelona boss Raddy Antic is their coach which only makes them stronger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Serbia World Cup Predictions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They should advance. Second place in the Group, edging out Ghana. They could surprise in the Round of 16.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ghana (FIFA Ranking: 32)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ghana\u2013 Odds To Win World Cup: +400<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ghana is a talented side especially in midfield but the questionable health of Michael Essien could pose problems. They did finish second in the Africa Cup of nations but only scored four goals the whole tournament. In many other Groups they might advance but in Group D they will finish just out of second place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ghana World Cup Predictions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ghana will be competitive in every match but injuries and a recent lack of goal scoring keeps them on the outside looking in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Australia: (FIFA Ranking: 21)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Australia \u2013 Odds To Win World Cup: +600<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Australia has the benefit of qualifying in the Asian bracket which increases their chances a lot. The Aussies boast a little skill and have one of the best keepers in the world. Australia is the weakest side in the Group but will play with reckless abandon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Australia World Cup Predictions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t expect Australia to win a game but they will be fun to watch. They have nothing to lose and should be as loose as any team in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Group D should be fun to watch. Germany seems to raise their game in the World Cup. Ghana has dynamic playmakers while Serbia is tight \u2013\u00a0top to bottom. There could reasonably be two quarterfinalists out of this Group.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/tracking.earnreal.com\/clickthrough.asp?br=27003&amp;aff=517572&amp;cmp=119036&amp;pct=1468\" rel=\"nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO BET ON THE FIFA WORLD CUP AT SPORTSBETTING.COM &#8211; FREE CASH TO ALL NEW CUSTOMERS &#8211; 110% FREE CASH just for becoming a member.<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dave B weighs in with his FIFA world cup 2010 gambling predictions for Group D.
