Sergej should start against Costa Rica.

Expected line-up (4-2-3-1): Stojkovic - Kolarov, Milenkovic, Tosic, Ivanovic - SMS, Matic - Kostic, Ljajic, Tadic - Mitrovic

I'm ok with goalie, Stojkovic is always decent, defence old and experienced except for Milenkovic, but that kid is special, so can't complain. Midfield is a problem. I'd pair Matic with Milivojevic since they played together in qualies and looked solid, and I'd put SMS on AM, closer to goal. Ljajic or Kostic on the left, Tadic on the right.

Looked decent against Bolivia. Still, it's only Bolivia. And friendly. I think that result will cloud Krstajic judgment. He had zero coaching experience before he took over and just recorded 1st big win. He must be thinking - I broke the football, I got this shit, got my eleven & we will win everything. Costa Rica plays with 5 at the back and they have 3 midgets there. It would be nice to see SMS behind Mitrovic so they can pick up crosses from Kostic, Kolarov and Tadic.
