Coach Rajko Toroman, a Serb, rather is looking forward to the 2010 World Championships. Toromon whose right now busy with putting his team through some tough pre Olympic Training believes that his team has the physical ability but lacks the skill and tactics due to lack of exposure and dearth of tough games that can only be conquered through such international events. The tickets for the Iran games are going fast.
