For you football fans, there is definitely interest in more games than just England vs Belarus on Wednesday night..
So, we also bring you a preview of the big South American fixture with Argentina vs Uruguay for World Cup qualification.
Uruguay vs Argentina
Wednesday 14 October 2009,
Centenario, Montevideo, Uruguay
World Cup 2010 Qualifier
Kick-Off: 23:00 UK Time
Argentina
Martin Palermo could be the saviour of Argentina after his 92nd minute winner against Peru moved Argentina into fourth place in South America World Cup qualifications.
Two goals in the span of two minutes saw the match swing wildly back and forth before Argentina finally emerged victorious against Peru in an unrelenting downpour of rain at the Momumental Stadium in Buenos Aires. Still, Diego Maradona knows that there is another mighty task awaiting his side in Wednesday night’s match.
With the final match of qualifications looming, it is still mathematically feasible that Argentina could miss qualifying for the World Cup Finals in South Africa. Actually, it is very realistic threat.
Argentina currently sit fourth in the final direct qualification place with no opportunity to advance in the standings. A loss to Uruguay would mean, at very best, Argentina would have to qualify via a playoff.
Shockingly enough, Lionel Messi has been virtually invisible for Argentina in recent weeks. The little magician, who has been lighting Spain on fire with quality performance after quality performance for Barcelona, has somehow lost his way for Maradona, and if ever was a time to rediscover his form, Wednesday would certainly be it.
Uruguay
Uruguay have done well to claw their way back into contention for fourth place, following up a run of four matches without a win, by securing back-to-back victories over Colombia, and more impressively, away battling the high altitude in Ecuador.
Uruguay required last minute drama in order to seal three points against Ecuador. Diego Forlan’s 90th minute penalty proved the difference to give Uruguay’s hopes of reaching South Africa an injection of astronomical proportions.
The victory shot Uruguay past Ecuador in the standings and sets up a fantastic final meeting against Argentina to decide who advances.
