One player doesnt make a team, Robben is good but he hasnt fully fulfilled his undoubted potential, partially due to injury admittedly. And if Van Persie isnt fit they'll be quite leightweight up front. Serbia have Vidic, Ivanovic, Stankovic, Krasic, Kuzmanovic, Zigic, Kolarov, Jankovic, Tosic etc, all players that have a lot of ability. They dominated their qualifying group, which was quite strong, and they'll be an unknown entity to many teams at the WC. They're my tip.
