Argentina vs Brazil Live Streaming Maradona Still Talking About It..

Match Report:
Only the top four teams from South America are guaranteed a spot at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Going into this weekend, Brazil is in first place in the standings and Argentina is in fourth.

An Argentine defeat would leave Maradona's team possibly facing a fifth-place finish and a potentially tricky two-game playoff series with a team from the North and Central American and Caribbean region, maybe the U.S. or Mexico.

A home loss on Saturday also would be even more humiliating for Argentina than the 6-1 drubbing Maradona's team suffered against Bolivia in La Paz in April.

Argentina has not failed to qualify for a World Cup since 1970, but this time around it could be a close-run thing.

"Yesterday, when I met up with the players, I said that I'd give anything to be 20 years younger and be able to play myself," Maradona told Argentina's Radio del Plata on Tuesday.

Not that he would be needed. Lionel Messi at 22 is a much better option for Argentina and the young star is also a lot more confident. "I think we can win comfortably," Messi said this week.

Each of South America's 10 teams has four games remaining. Peru has been mathematically eliminated and Bolivia and Venezuela soon will fall by the wayside.

On paper, Brazil (27 points), Chile (26), Paraguay (24) and Argentina (22) should qualify directly for the World Cup, with Ecuador (20) Uruguay (18) and Colombia (17) fighting it out for fifth place.

But Brazil's strength and Argentina's injury woes have Maradona nervous. This is his first really vital test since he was the surprising and controversial choice 10 months ago to be Argentina's coach. Maradona, in his late 40s and widely considered one of the game's greatest players, was captain of Argentina's 1986 World Cup championship team.

But the road to South Africa isn't easy. On Wednesday, Argentina is on the road at third-place Paraguay and faces another serious test.

Perhaps Argentina's precarious position was why the farfetched rumor surfaced in July that Maradona would step aside as national coach and take on some sort of all-encompassing role with Portsmouth in the English Premier League.

"I do not know if Maradona is a good coach," Abu Dhabi billionaire and new Portsmouth owner Sulaiman Fahim told Arabian Business magazine. "What I think is that he should be president of a club and have the right to buy and choose players. . . . He has the power to transform football teams."

Maradona was forced to respond, dismissing it as fiction and saying his players would never find out something secondhand, that he would always be up front with them.

Since then, he has been talking up a storm.

He told the Argentine sports daily Ole, "In no way would I abandon ship. Light blue and white blood runs through my veins." And in a later interview, "It was much easier being a player. I only thought about getting the ball and enjoying myself. Now I have to take control of around 25 players. There are things that complicate me."

Maradona told TyC Sports, "Against Brazil we will play for our lives."

He told Radio Palermo that Argentina would win "because we have better players."

He told reporters in Rosario that "the entire Brazilian team makes me scared. They have a fantastic side."

He was quoted on FIFA's website as saying that the Brazilians "play joyful, entertaining football, while we have fighting spirit and good players. I don't think one is any better than the other."

He rallied his countrymen by telling FIFA: "We are all Argentines and we're going to be coming up against our biggest rivals. We have to remain united; otherwise, Brazil can do us great harm."

Maradona also noted in his FIFA interview that he had finished ahead of Brazil's Pele in a poll to determine the best player of all time. Pele responded Wednesday, saying, "We already know who Maradona is. . . . What he says isn't worth taking into consideration."

On Saturday, the truth might be determined.

TEAM NEWS : (Review)

Croatia

As previously stated the loss of Modric will be the biggest blow, but first-choice goalkeeper Stipe Pletikolosa will also be missing the event. Nonetheless, Bilic should stick with his usual 4-4-2 formation and the same duo that did in Belarus last time up front.
.
Possible Starting XI – (4-4-2): Runje; Corluka, Krizanac, Simunic, Pranjic; Srna, Vukojevic, Rakitic, Kranjcar; Eduardo, Olic.

!!Croatia vs Belarus Live Streaming Online!!

Belarus

Coach Stange's only major absence is his captain and arguably his best player in Hleb. Either Stasevich or Vyacheslav Hleb, brother of Aliaksandr, will fill in that central role in the midfield as he does not want to make too many changed ahead of such an important fixture.

Possible Starting XI – (4-4-2): Zhevnov; Omelyanchuk, Sasnowski, Verhawtsow, Yurevich; Kulchiy, Stasevich, Kashevski, Kalachev; Kornilenko, Kutuzov.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Ivan Rakitic (Croatia)

Coach Bilic will expect the Schalke man to pick up the slack where Modric is concerned. Linked with the likes of Juventus based on his potential, the 21-year-old must start to deliver more and more often. Here is an excellent chance to prove his worth.

Vitali Kutuzov (Belarus)

The vastly experienced forward has plenty to offer, as he recently showed for club side Bari in a 1-1 draw with Serie A champions Inter. He will be working hard for the opportunity to nick a goal.

PREDICTION

Both sides know a victory is of the utmost importance. For Belarus, just to keep holding on by the tips of their fingers and for Croatia to add some distance between themselves and the chasing pack. Overall, the visitors probably do not have enough quality to match their hosts.

Pre Match Analysis:
Whereas the former Manchester United assistant coach is still searching for a dependable striking duo upfront for Portugal, concerns also surround the team’s reliability at the back.

Despite recording a good number of clean sheets since the end of the 2008 European championship, the Portuguese have also shown weakness in defense when it matters the most.

Not to mention their hard-fought 2-1 victory over Albania in June, Portugal struggled to maintain their 2-1 advantage against Denmark in the dying minutes of the match. At the end of proceedings, Portugal had lost 3 precious points to the Danish who currently top Group A.

September 5 will not only be a matter of revenge when Portugal clash against Denmark away from home. Instead, it will be a do or die affair and a matter of correcting their mistakes.

The race for the finals of the World Cup in South Africa is still on for the Portuguese. However, there is no time for relaxation. Seven points currently separate Portugal from Denmark in the table.

Knowing that only the 8 best runners-up qualify for the play-offs – which could include the likes of excellent sides such as Russia or even France – Portugal will prefer to struggle today and linch the top spot in their group.

It is perhaps too early to dream about qualifying for South Africa 2010 as Group A’s leaders. For now, Portugal will focus on going step by step, and match by match.

Pre Match Report :

The Slovak Republic welcome The Czech Republic for a crucial Group 3 qualifier.

Slovakia sit top with a fine campaign so far with only 1 loss from 6 games. The Czechs trail far behind in second with some catching up to do, however, with a game in hand over Slovenia; a win here could propel the national side into 3rd place. Slovakia can secure their position at the top of Group 3 win a with here, which will place then 5 points ahead of chasing Northern Ireland.

A loss here for The Czech National side would mean they could only then qualify via the UEFA 2nd-Place Play-off.

The away side will be hoping for an improvement over their 2-1 defeat at home to Slovakia in their last group game, with a tense middle eastern European encounter expected for this one.

Jan Polak is out for the Czechs with ligament damage in domestic duty for Anderlecht. He will be replaced by Radoslav Kovac, a star of West Ham Utd in the English Premiership.

Pre Match Report :
Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld has been hampered by defensive problems during preparations for the potentially decisive World Cup qualifier at home to Greece on Saturday.

The winners of the group qualify directly for South Africa while the second place side will play off over two legs for another place, provided they are one of the best eight runners-up in the nine European groups.
"We know that the Greeks are strong, they are compact and they are dangerous at set pieces," former Bayern Munich coach Hitzfeld, whose contract was recently extended until 2012, told reporters.

Greece, whose only previous World Cup appearance was in 1994, will be without their influential midfielder Giorgos Karagounis who is injured and is expected to be replaced in the starting line-up by Sotiris Ninis.Seeking to avenge their only defeat in the group, coach Otto Rehhagel is also likely to field three strikers with in-form Yannis Amanatidis playing just behind Fanis Gekas and Dimitris Salpingidis or Angelos Haristeas.

"We will play to win," said defender Vangelis Moras. "It all depends on our own performance. It is only in our hands."Fellow striker Giorgos Samaras has been ruled fit to play and could come on as a substitute.

Team:
Switzerland - Diego Benaglio; Alain Nef, Steve von Bergen, Stephane Grichting, Ludovic Magnin; Tranquillo Barnetta, Gokhan Inler, Marco Padalino, Gelson Fernandes; Alex Frei, Blaise Nkufo.

Greece - Kostas Halkias; Loukas Vyntra, Sotiris Kyrgiakos, Avraam Papadopoulos, Nikos Spyropoulos; Christos Patsatzoglou, Kostas Katsouranis, Sotiris Ninis; Fanis Gekas, Angelos Haristeas, Yannis Amanatidis, Giorgos Samaras.

Marcos Senna returns for Spain's World Cup qualifying match against Belgium, when the European champions can move closer to 2010 qualification with victory.

Spain is perfect in Group 5 with six wins from six and can likely clinch its passage to South Africa with victories against Belgium on Saturday and Estonia on Wednesday regardless of other results.
Defensive midfielder Senna, a key component of Spain's Euro 2008-winning run last summer, missed out on the Confederations Cup but has recovered from a hamstring injury and is expected to start the match at Deportivo La Coruna's El Riazor stadium.

"He's an important teammate and a player who brings us the balance that (coach Vicente) Del Bosque wants. He's a key player for us," defender Joan Capdevila said of his 31-year-old Villarreal teammate. "He's recovered from injury and is gradually reaching his peak."

Senna's return is likely to relegate midfielder Xabi Alonso to the bench as the naturalized Brazilian is paired in the middle with Barcelona's Xavi Hernandez.

Spain leads with 18 points, Armenia has 12, Turkey has eight and Belgium has seven with four matches to play. Estonia has five and last-placed Armenia has one.

Belgium needs a win to have any chance of reaching the World Cup after missing out in 2006 at Germany.

"Even if we know it's going to be really difficult, we still have a mathematical possibility of qualifying so we should keep belief," defender Timmy Simons told Le Soir newspaper.

Assistant coach Frankie Vercauteren, who has replaced the fired Rene Vandereycken until Dick Advocaat takes over at the end of the year, will be without goalkeeper Silvio Proto who remained in Belgium to be with his wife, who is due to give birth.

AZ Alkmaar midfielder Moussa Dembele is available as Belgium, which plays Armenia on Wednesday, plays an opponent it fell 2-1 to on home soil last year.

PRE MATCH REPORT :

Instead of Turkey, who were third-place finishers in World Cup 2002/Euro 2008 semi-finalists, or a Belgium side packed with very talented youngsters, it is Bosnia-Herzegovina who have a firm grip on the second spot.

The Turks, in contrast, languish behind in third place—four points behind second place and ten points behind the group leaders. Fatih Terim's side, who have endured great success on the international stage—most recently at Euro 2008, need only look at their abysmal record of six goals scored and five conceded when asking why they have thus far faltered in their attempts to qualify for next summer’s World Cup finals.

A convincing 3-0 away win in an international friendly match last month against Ukraine provided a happy boost of confidence for the Turks and with 12 points at stake in the remaining World Cup Qualifying matches, confidence could prove to be crucial to victory. A sold out Kayseri - Kadir Has stadium could certainly provide an ample boost in its own right.

PREDICTION

While the last match between Estonia and Turkey ended in a 0-0 draw, one cannot help but think that in front of a raucous Kayseri - Kadir Has crowd, that Turkey will fall anywhere short of dispatching their Baltic opponents. The Turks should live to fight another match.

Match Report:

Saturday's home game vs. El Salvador in Sandy, Utah.

In a group in which the top four are perfect at home, the USA can't afford to lose.
The fourth-place team in the group would have a second chance to reach the 2010 Cup in South Africa, but only through a playoff against the fifth-place team from South America.

"Our absolute goal has to be to finish in the top three," U.S. offensive leader Landon Donovan says. "If we can't finish in the top three, we probably don't deserve to go anyway.

"So there's some pressure on our plate, but it's nothing we haven't dealt with before."

The pressure is that the team's should-wins have become must-wins. The USA's next opponents — El Salvador, then at Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday — are the two teams lagging in the group. In the latest FIFA rankings, the USA is No. 11. El Salvador is No. 85, ninth in the region.

But El Salvador has been a difficult opponent to break down in qualifying. At home against the USA in March, El Salvador took a 2-0 lead in the 72nd minute before Jozy Altidore and Frankie Hejduk leveled the score. Regional power Mexico lost there 2-1 in June.

El Salvador also has come close to denting the top four teams' perfect marks at home. Costa Rica needed second-half goals for 1-0 wins in the semifinal and final rounds. Honduras also won 1-0.

The U.S. team nearly broke through with a tie in Mexico last month, giving up an 82nd-minute goal in a 2-1 loss that let Mexico pull a point behind the USA in the standings. Costa Rica leads with 12 points. Honduras and the USA each have 10, but Honduras has a better goal differential.

"(Coach) Bob (Bradley)'s way of playing is maybe not what everyone wants to see," Donovan says. "But for one play at the end of the Mexico game, people would be talking differently about this team right now."
