Savo Milosevic, forward at Spanish league team Osasuna, told Spanish media on Friday that the country's World Cup group which also features Argentina, Cote d'Ivoire and the Netherlands, was the "group of death" for his nation.

"We call our group the group of death, but we came out top in the Spanish group in the phase, so we are not afraid of anyone," the player said.

Milosevic is more positive about the 16-nation Euro 2008, saying it will be "something completely different."

Serbia is in the same group as Portugal, Poland, Belgium, Finland, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.

"There are strong teams in this group but two qualify directly from each group and that changes things a lot," he said.
