Argentina as expected have brought in Luis Gonzalez to replace Esteban Cambiasso in midfield ahead of this afternoon's Group C match with Serbia and Montenegro.

Serbia & Montenegro coach Ilija Petkovic also made one change to his team.

Petkovic, whose side lost their opening match 1-0 to Netherlands last Sunday, dropped right back Nenad Djordjevic and brought in winger Ognjen Koroman.

With Koroman adding pace to midfield, Serbia will want to start more adventurously than against the Dutch and hope that Dejan Stankovic and Predrag Djordjevic have more room to operate.
