Belarus vs England World Cup Qualifier Live on Setanta Sports
England will face Belarus on Wednesday in a Group 6 world cup qualifying match. After defeating Kazakhstan convincingly at home, England now has to go to Minsk to face the home team Belarus on 15 October 2008. Belarus is 59th in FIFA ranking, but their ranking can hardly reveal how strong a team Belarus is at home. Last year, they defeated Netherlands during Euro 2008 qualifying round. In fact, they are gradually becoming a new giant killer in Europe.
Considering these fact, you can guess that it is not going to be as easy an affair as it was against Kazakhstan at home. However, England players can take inspiration from their emphatic 4-1 away victory over Croatia in Zagreb. No doubt, if England can carry on their recent form against Belarus, England should not have any problem to come out with full three points in what it would be England’s fourth successive victory in world cup 2010 qualifying campaign. In that case, it would be England’s best ever start to a world cup qualifying round with four wins out of four. So, English fans are eagerly waiting to see if England can really make it four wins out of four.
Belarus fans are also waiting for the match. They will want to see their players creating pressure on England and achieve at least one point from the match because even a draw would be considered as a good result for Belarus against England. In fact, after Belarus’ triumph over Netherlands last year, the expectation level of their fans will definitely be high ahead of the England match. The match will be held at the Dinamo Stadium in Minsk, Belarus. Not many people will be able to go to the stadium to watch the match. So, television and radio will be the main sources to enjoy the match live.
Setanta Sports will show the Belarus vs England match live. You know that Setanta Sports holds the television right of England’s away matches in world cup 2010 qualifying round.
