With Saturday’s all important European Qualifying first legs kicking off, there is again the opportunity to catch all of the action on the internet. With the Brazil v England friendly in Qatar being broadcast on ITV, and Sky Sports having the rights to show the crucial Ireland v France match from Croke Park, you may want to see some of the other action. Perhaps you want to see how Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal fares against Bosnia-Herzegovina, for example. Though do not hold your breath waiting to see the great man, for he will be not taking part in either leg because of injury. That could make for a really interesting match.

On Saturday, aside from the Ireland v France game, there are three other European qualifier matches happening around the same time, plus the second leg of New Zealand v Bahrain. Sunday sees the CONCACAF play-off between Uruguay v Costa Rica. These are the final showdowns to book a place at World Cup 2010, with the first legs being played on Saturday, November 14th and the second legs on Wednesday 18th. While you are going to be hard pushed to pick up on any of these alternative live actions games on TV, you can be comforted that you can still get to see the action.

England, who have already secured their South Africa 2010 World Cup place, will see group qualifying action again soon, when they travel to the Ukraine on October 10th for an important match in Group 6. While Fabio Capello’s men have safely negotiated the qualifying process by winning all 8 games of the campaign so far, this match will have huge implications on who will clinch the all important second place. The battle for the runners-up spot is between the Ukraine and Croatia, with just two points separating the second placed Croatia, from third placed Ukraine. Everyone else in the group is out of the running, but the mathematical uncertainties come from the fact that the Ukraine have a game in hand over Croatia.

In their previous matches, Croatia slumped to a 5-1 defeat at Wembley, while the Ukraine did not seize their chance to draw level on points with the Croats, as they could only muster a goal less draw in Belarus. That will have put a huge dent in their qualifying hopes, but the Ukrainians will know that a victory against table-topping England, will put them back in the driving seat. Both the Croats and the Ukrainians are expected to win their last games against Kazakhstan and Andorra respectively, so the Ukraine v England match is the crucial one. This will be the Ukraine’s game in hand and they will be keen not to waste it.

Late goals from captain John Terry and Peter Crouch, cancelled out Andrei Shevchenko’s early second half opener when the two sides met in London in April of this year. This was the only time England have really been under threat throughout qualifying, and the Ukrainians will be hoping that they can make England sweat again. They will of course be hoping to produce a different result by using the advantage of the home fixture. The difference between the two sides though, is clearly up front. England have scored more than twice the amount which the Ukraine has in qualifying, and have conceded one less. The Ukrainians are a tight unit, and their only defeat in the Group was in that match at Wembley. Croatia came away from the Ukraine with a 0-0 draw, something which may not be good enough for the home side in this fixture. Two wins from their final two games, and the Ukraine will clinch second place, regardless of what Croatia do.

Bookmakers Bet365 are giving punters the chance to enjoy the game via a live stream on their website. Bet365 already stream over 4,000 live events a year, including soccer and horse racing through their excellent website. They run a very good service with their betting markets, and they are one of the most popular online betting shops online. The streaming of the Ukraine v England game will be completely free for account holders who have funds deposited, and it will provide the perfect opportunity to watch and enjoy live in-game betting opportunities. This is much better alternative to having to pay around £15 to watch a streamed broadcast of the game, the cost of what some national newspapers are charging to see the game on their websites.

As long as you have a funded Bet365 account, you can watch it for free, and enjoy their excellent betting services at the same time. They are the only bookmakers to secure the exclusive streaming rights for the Ukraine v England game, something no TV Channel has been able to do. This should be a good match, with the Ukraine having to go all out for the win as they hunt for that precious second place in the group, which would see them go into a two-leg play-off against another second placed team. England will not want to let their guard down and be complacent, there are places to secure ahead of the World Cup next year, and for the November friendly against the mighty Brazil.

If you are not a Bet365 member at the moment, then don’t fear, for there is still time to register an account, make a deposit and enjoy their broadcasting and betting services in time for the game. On top of that, Bet365 will give you a 100% Deposit bonus, meaning that they will match your initial deposit up to a maximum of £200. For the £15 you would have to pay elsewhere, you can use it towards your deposit, get to watch the game for free, and use that money for making a profit by backing England. Bet365 also run a lot of other good specials on sports betting, such as money back on 0-0 bore draws in football matches.
