2010 FIFA WORLD CUP SERBIA VS GHANA

Dejan Stankovic (SRB) v Sulley Muntari (GHA) Just weeks after helping Inter Milan claim the UEFA Champions League crown, Stankovic and Muntari will act out what promises to be an intriguing sub-plot in Tshwane/Pretoria. Operating down the same side of the pitch, the Nerrazzurri team-mates will be keeping a very close eye on each other, with the muscular Muntari hoping to snuff out the threat posed by the accomplished Stankovic. Should he find time to get forward, the Ghana midfielder will be hoping to reprise the spectacular goals he struck against Czech Republic at Germany 2006 and Guinea at the CAF African Cup of Nations Ghana 2008. What they said “This is far and away our most important match and it will set the tone for the first phase. A win will give us confidence, but a defeat will put us under a lot of pressure. It goes without saying that this is 'the' game for us,” Karim Matmour, Algeria midfielder.
