If I told you Serbia would beat Germany, you'd probably surmise that meant they'd get out of Group D. Not so much. Though it was one of the best results in the Group stage, Serbia lost their two other matches so the German win ended up being essentially meaningless.
Serbia
Best moment: Beating Germany, one of the tournament favorites in their second match.
Worst moment: Their meltdown in the second half that saw the Australians score a pair of goals in three minutes.
Best result: Getting three points vs. Germany, something nobody outside of Serbia could have dreamed of.
Worst result: Losing to Australia. The loss wasn't so bad since they fought back and scored a goal but the way they fell apart in the second half was the real issue.
Final tally: 1 win, 2 losses. 2 goals scored, 3 goals against.
Best player: Forward Milan Jovanovic, the Standard Liege man scored the game-winner against Germany.
Worst player: The whole defense that collectively crapped their pants in that three minute stretch vs. Australia.
