Which TV Channel will Broadcast Uzbekistan vs Australia Match?

Uzbekistan vs Australia is not an important match for most people in the world. In fact, neither Uzbekistan nor Australia is top name in world’s football. Australia is a strong team, but football is not a very popular game in this country. On the other hand, football is the most popular sports in Uzbekistan, but they are not a strong team. Anyway, my point is that out of these two countries they are not popular. Think of Brazil and Argentina. They are popular in all over Asia and Africa. If you are looking for information for TV channel regarding Uzbekistan vs Australia match, I would like to say that if you are living in Australia then you can watch the match in Fox Sports 3. The kick off time is 8:30 PM local time and 1:30 am AEFT. On the other hand, if you are living in Asia then Star Sports is the channel that you should log into. So, if you have any of these two channels then you can watch the match live.

Croatia vs England World Cup 2010 Qualifying Match: Who will win?

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.

Uzbekistan vs Australia World Cup 2010 Qualifying Match: Preview and Live Score

Uzbekistan is going to take on Australia in world cup qualifying match tomorrow at the Uzbek Capital Tashkent. This is a very important match for both of the sides. Both of the teams will want to win the match because a win will make their position solid in the group. In their earlier matches, Australia defeated another opponent and Uzbekistan lost to them. Recently, Australia defeated Netherlands in Netherlands. You know that Netherlands is the fourth ranked football team in the world now. So, it was an impressive win for Australia to defeat Netherlands in Netherlands. On the other hand, Uzbekistan recently suffered a humiliating defeat to Qatar by 3-0 at Qatar.

So, considering the recent performances Australia look to be the hot favorite in the match. The country is earning a lot of revenue from oil and gas and the government is focusing on spending lavishly for building the infrastructure and other facilities for football. In fact, recently there was a rumor that one of the top players of Barcelona, Samuel Eto'o, might join an Uzbek club. However, it did not come true, but later we saw that Barcelona went to Uzbekistan and built a partnership with a local club. This shows that the country has good potential for football.

In tomorrow’s match, the main strength of Australia would be Europe-based players like Harry Kewell. Football is not the most popular game in Australia. In fact, Australians do not even call it football; they call it soccer. However, a number of Australian players play in European leagues and some of them are considered to be good player in English premier league. So, Australia has a world class team. On the other hand, Uzbekistan is composed mainly young player. The age of most of the players from 24-29 and they are young and spirited. The only thing they lacked is perhaps the experience.

One thing that team Australia should be worried about is climate. Right now, it is winter time in Australia, but the condition will be hot and humid in Tashkent. There is a forecast that the temperature might reach 30 degree centigrade and it is not an enjoyable condition for playing football. In fact, Uzbekistan is not only hot but humidity may also high and it may cause a lot of problem for the Australian players. Also, you have to remember that Uzbek players are very strong in their home and they can challenge any team in their own soil.

The good thing is that Australian players are not taking the match lightly. Their coach has already cautioned against it. Harry Kewell has also said not to be complacent about the match. One thing that can give some good confidence to Harry Kewell and his teammates is that Uzbekistan plays in a similar formation like the Dutch. So, it will give them an extra advantage to face opposition with similar strategy.

I am expecting a full-house crowd for the match. Football is the most popular sports in Uzbekistan. On the other hand, the match will kick of at 1:30 am in Australian time. So, I do not think that too many people will bother to watch the match in Australia at way past midnight. After this match, Australian players will have five-week break. Then they will play against Qatar in Australia next month. However, for many players playing in European league, there will be no break. They will have to be totally busy with European league. Of course, I do not think that it is a bad thing because they will not have any problem with match practice. The only problem may happen for these players is that they are going to play in Europe, and in Asian and in Australian condition in very short time. Well, today’s footballers are real professional and they have this kind of habit and they have to do this kind of things on a regular basis. So, I do not think that it will be that big of a problem for the players.

You can watch the match live in Fox Sports 3 and Star Sports depending on your location. You can get live score of the match in Live Score website too.

Uzbekistan vs Australia Preview: World Cup 2010 Qualifying

After being defeated badly by Qatar, Uzbekistan will be desperate to win their next match with Australia. Hence, Australian football coach, Pim Verbeek, warned his players to be extra cautious. The Australian team which defeated Netherland by 2 goals to 1, seemed pretty confident but Pim Verbeek told them that they should be ready to face a serious opponent.

Australia is going to face Uzbekistan in Tashkent on September 10, 2008. Pim Verbeek said that he would change the team's strategy to face Uzbekistan and he said that he has good impressions of the team and his plans for Wednesday.

Australian striker, Brett Holman, also agreed with Verbeek and said that result is not the main factor. They should think about themselves and how they should play the game. Brett believes that Uzbekistan is a better team, or else, they could not have made it to the second round of the World Cup qualifying match. However, Australians are hopeful because the formation of Uzbekistan is similar to that of Netherlands whom they beat.
