They are the last thing that left of old Yugoslavia. Up to a couple of years ago the land had the name of Federal Republic of yugoslavia, but than they've made some changes in the constitution and from than on the land is called Serbia and Monte Negro.\nHistoricaly they are two different lands where two different nations live.\nThe Serbs and the MonteNegrians are both a part of the southern slavic group of people and throughout history they are closely connected.\nIn a couple of weeks time Monte Negro has announced a referendum for independence. If it is succesfull than there might be some problems with the players participation in the world cup.

seeing as all they would do is fight every time they play against a country - not the best option , also FIFA Rules state that every SINGLE country must have a seperate team unless they are like Serbia and Montenegro who are having disagreements about everything(this is teh last time they play as 1 country)

It is fair to describe Serbia and Montenegro as one of Europe's surprise packages. They beat off stiff competition in Group 7 from Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Belgium, to claim one of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ places reserved for group winners. \nSerbia and Montenegro were one of eight European teams to remain undefeated throughout the qualifying campaign, winning six of their 10 fixtures and drawing the other four. After twice holding closest rivals Spain and drawing away in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ilija Petkovic's cohorts sealed direct qualification with a decisive home victory over their Bosnian neighbours in their last match. Mateja Kezman was the hero on the night, sparking a collective outpouring of joy with his fifth strike during qualification. \n\nSerbia and Montenegro appeared on the international stage under the banner of Yugoslavia until 2003. The team made the semi-finals at the very first FIFA World Cup in 1930, taking the lead against eventual champions Uruguay but finishing on the wrong end of a 6-1 defeat. They appeared at six further finals, most recently with a highly-fancied side at France 98 where they lost 2-1 to the Netherlands in the last 16. \n\nA turning point arrived in June 2003 when Serbia and Montenegro lost to Azerbaijan in the preliminary stage of UEFA EURO 2004. The defeat hastened Petkovic's arrival in place of Dejan Savicevic, and the national team known as Plavi, or the Blues, by their passionate fans subsequently marched from one success to the next. They will enter the finals in Germany having not lost a competitive fixture under their coach. \n\nTheir star names include Atletico Madrid's Kezman, Dejan Stankovic of Inter Milan, and experienced Osasuna hitman Savo Milosevic. However, the real jewel in the crown is Europe's best defensive line: they put up the continent's meanest performance in their ten qualifying fixtures with just one goal condeded, Spain's effort in the 1-1 draw in Madrid. Keeper Dragoslav Jevric and a back four marshalled by captain Mladen Krstajic of Schalke take much of the credit. \n\n"The harmonious blend in the team is the secret of our success," coach Petkovic observes. "We have to keep up the hard work, as we cannot rest on our laurels just because of past success." Petkovic and his men face an exciting few months, although the coach has spotted one unusual issue: "People seem to have problems pronouncing the name of our country." However, that will be the least of his worries when Germany 2006 gets underway. \n\nmore info at:

S&M is playing cos they qualified for the World Cup as a team. They have only separated a week before the start of the World Cup finals, so it wouldn't make sense to disallow them from playing, or allow them to participate as two separate teams.\n\nAs for the trophy, a duplicate will be made, so the actual and duplicate will be rotated between the two countries during the four years that they hold the cup. Of course, the chances of them winning are slim.\n\nSerbia will then be defending the title in the next World Cup, cos 22 of the 23 players in the current squad is Serbian! Only one is from Montenegro.\n\nAnd note that S&M used to be one country - they only split recently. Which means that countries aren't allowed to simply pool their players together and field a team of mixed nationalities in the World Cup.\n\nYup, hope this addresses your queries ;)

Serbia.. No doubt about that. Serbia is the most powerful country in the Balkans.

Serbia and Montenegro. To allow an opponent to score 6 goals in a game is an embrassment. They are better then that and should be ashamed.
