    It's because Serbia and Montenegro are two seperate teams. They will have to play each other and then the winning team will enter pool 4.

    lol mate. i think its one country with only a long name :86: they are the worst classified team in europe on the fifa ranking list i think.

    in pool one are the best (south) american and european teams. in pool 3 are european teams only. in both pools have to be 8 teams. serbia would make a pool uneven. i think thats why they are "special".

    plus there cant be more than 2 european teams in the same group.

    Mexico is in Central America though, Think the real reason is that FIFA hoped America would win the central/north america group meaning more TV revenue could be generated if America had an easier route. Its all about money and advertising, just look at some of the dodgy world rankings.
