[STC001616] You’d be right to assume that Serbia-Montenegro was the underdog at the FIFA World Cup in 2006. You would be wrong, though, if you believed Serbia-Montenegro to be a true nation. That didn’t stop the soccer team from representing the last piece of the former Yugoslavia at the international competition, showing how challenging it can be to separate sports and politics. The final two republics standing following the dissolution of Yugoslavia were Serbia and Montenegro, which were two distinct nations. Despite the short lifespan of their governmental alliance, it was at least cordial; Montenegro opted for independence just before the World Cup. Unfortunately, the united team didn’t play well. It dropped all three of its matches—against the Netherlands, Argentina, and the Ivory Coast—and was unable to move to the knockout stage.
