Group C
Serbia & Montenegro vs
Holland in Leipzig:
Serbia & Montenegro tried to push forward and take advantage of how the heat was
starting to affect the Dutch but they just didn't get the final touch.
Argentina vs Serbia &
Montenegro in Gelsenkirchen:
Serbia & Montenegro were totally demolished and demoralised as their World Cup hopes
now rested on Ivory Coast beating Holland.
Côte d'Ivoire vs Serbia
& Montenegro in München:
For a team touted as having a solid defence coming into the 2006 World Cup Finals they'll
be dissapointed to have let in another three; especially as they were two goals up in
twenty minutes.
