DEFENDER Aleksandar Kolarov is expecting Serbia's World Cup opener against Ghana to be a "furious" affair.
The Group D rivals meet in Pretoria on Saturday, and the Lazio full-back knows he and his team-mates will face a storm as their African opponents attempt to lay down a marker.
He told Blic: "We are in for a furious match against Ghana, who are not at the World Cup by chance as they are the runners-up of the Africa Cup of Nations.
"But we all here play in tough teams and in tough leagues, so we are used to tough matches."
