To day is September 9, 2009 (09.09.09). Perhaps it is not an important day in world history but have some important game in football era. Among them Argentina vs Paraguay and England vs Croatia will be offer all the football fans extra pleasure. Argentina’s must win match aims to enter in the next world cup 2010 in South Africa.
You all know that Argentina got defeated to Brazil last week and fighting to hold the fourth position when ever Paraguay is on the third. If Argentina gets defeat to Paraguay then they could steps down from this position and Ecuador and Colombia have chance to stretch them up. Five football nations are in very competitive are that are just 1-4 down each other. So one lose can change the total structure of the standings table.
If Paraguay gets defeat to Argentina the may not change their position but Argentina will able to make their position steady because of 5 points game from each other. If Maradona’s team fall and Colombia and Ecuador rise then Argentina has to lead the 6 position just for one points back from each other.
Carlos Tevez may not appear in the today’s match because I can not see his name in the declared squad.
England will take on Croatia in the World Cup football qualifying round matches in the play ground at Wembley Stadium where the UEFA Champions League Final 2011 will be organized. It is about one year ago England took on Croatia in their home match and lost 1-4 and two years ago the met each other in a European Championships match. On 5 September the each rival Brazil beat Argentina in the qualifying round match where Argentine men are leading the 4th position. Anyway I am not discussing about the past match but it is one of the most attractive football events of the whole world.

Croatia is not very strong team in the World cup history. But in 1998, Croatia could reached in the semi-final and it was the first time the could achieve the place. Though I mentioned that it is not as stronger football team but at this moment they are leading the second positing on the standing table when England is on the top to the board.
The over all playing records of the both teams cooperatively England is on the leading position, three wins over 6 encounters. But in the home match, England just secured a single wins and two from away wins.
Injury attacks on the Croatia side and two key players will be out from the next match with england and problems have been intensified. Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric is out of team due to injury problem. But england sides is totally tension free because no players will be out on Wednesday match.
Capello has opted to partner Emile Heskey with Wayne Rooney in attack in recent matches, but Defoe’s form will certainly be in the back of his mind when he makes the final selections on Wednesday.

It is a very important match for both England and Croatia. The match will be played in Croatia and many English fans are expected to travel to the country. The bad news is that Croatia vs. England match will not be available in any terrestrial TV channel. That is why it will be a very eagerly waited match for the English fans. On the other hand, the Croatian fans will want nothing but winning. I think that you have not forgotten that only a few months ago, Croatia defeated England and denied England to come to Euro 2008. This is a very painful memory for most English fans and after that a lot of criticism took place in England about the condition of English premier league in which mostly foreign players play for big clubs. Now, it is a different matter. Only three days ago, England defeated Andorra in an ‘away match’ by 2-0. While England dominated for most of the time but they could not win convincingly. In fact, the strikers missed a number of chances and that is not good. English players will have to remember that it is not Andorra that they are facing that they are facing Croatia which is a very big team in Europe. So, I think that Croatia is a strong team and they may win the match tomorrow or it may be a draw. I do not see a lot of chance for England to win the match tomorrow.
Australian football team started with a serious upset in the qualifying round of Fifa World Cup 2010. On Saturday, in their first match, Australian Football team beat the Netherlands by 2 goals to 1. The winning goals came from English footballer, Harry Kewell and Josh Kennedy. Australia’s Dutch coach, Pim Verbeek, was very happy with the team’s performance in the game. He said:
"We're very pleased with the result, but I'm more pleased with the organisation, the way they played, especially in the first half,"
The two goals came at a very critical moment when the match was moving towards tiebreaker. However, Verbeek said that the result of the Netherlands match did not matter. What matters is the result on Wednesday.
From the time of the SovietRepublic, Uzbekistan has remained the strongest team in central Asia. After experiencing a shocking 3-0 defeat against Qatar on Saturday, the team has become desperate. Rauf Inliev, coach of Uzbekistan and Asian coach of 2007, admitted that the upcoming Uzbekistan-Australia match is going to be a tough one. However, he is very much determined to win the match and gain a pass at the world Cup. Ignaty Nesterov, captain, Uzbekistan football team, also voiced the same determination.
English Australian footballer, Harry Kewell, said that Australian team is very happy with its win against the Netherlands on September 6, 2008, but it is going to face a tough opponent on September 10, 2008. Kewell said:
“While it will be good to get off to a good start, the Uzbekistan team will have the same kind of plan,”
Both Australia and Uzbekistan started their World Cup qualifying game on Saturday. Australia caused a major upset by beating the Netherlands, the fourth ranked team, by 2 goals to 1. On the other hand, Qatar stunned the world by defeating Uzbekistan, one of the strongest football teams in Asia. Uzbekistan was defeated by 3 goals to none. It was a crushing victory for Qatar.
Now, Uzbekistan is in a must win situation.In the other group match, Japan defeated Bahrain by 3 goals to 2. Now, Qatar and Japan are the two top teams in the group. In order to play in the Fifa World Cup 2010, Australia has to remain in the top two position in the qualifying round that will continue till June 2009.
