England vs Kazakhstan Live Updates: 6 June 2009

Kazakhstan hosts England in a Group 6 match of FIFA World Cup Qualifying 2010 on 6 June 2010 at the Almaty Central Stadium, Almaty. With 15 points from 5 games, England now leads the point table and holds a solid 5-point advantage over second placed Croatia. Kazakhstan has already been out of world cup qualifying race after losing 4 out of their 5 games so far. However, Kazakhstan fans are no less excited than the English fans with this match because they are going to see some of their favorite football playing in front of them.

England defeated Kazakhstan 5-1 in their home fixture last year, but faced huge challenge from the Kazakhs who kept it clean sheet until the half time. However, the three lions can not expect an easy affair when they face the home side in a country where they have never been before. Moreover, the Almaty Central Stadium is situated about 700 meters above the sea level. So, it would be interesting to see how England players adopt to the new condition and win the challenge of playing at such a high altitude.

All these factors indicate that we could see an exciting match tomorrow. Fans of both sides are very much excited with the match as well. The match will be telecast live on Setanta Sports television channel at 16:00 BST (British Standard Time) on 6 June. Setanta Sports is an Ireland-based television channel which has 12 channels operating in 24 countries.

Setanta Sports currently holds the official television rights of England’s away matches, and thus, the channel has exclusive rights to cover England’s game against Kazakhstan. This is a match for which millions of cricket fans are now waiting for. However, many England fans are not happy with Setanta Sports as the channel failed to share its feed with free-to-air channels like BBC to show the highlights of England’s qualifying matches against Andorra and Croatia in September last year. That made the English fans furious against Setanta Sports, and many English football fans showed their anger by carrying banners and placards showing slogans: “We Hate Setanta” during those two away fixtures.

Setanta Sports is now facing huge financial problems and the channel’s future has also become uncertain amid the current economic problem. There are reports out in the media suggesting that the match between England and Kazakhstan could be the last qualifying match of England to be shown live on Setanta Sports.

England vs Kazakhstan Live Updates: 6 June 2009

England football team is going to play in Kazakhstan for the first time as the three lions will take on the home side on 6 June in Group 6 match of FIFA world cup qualifying 2010. English season has just finished and there are a number of injury concerns for England coach Fabio Capello ahead of the game. However, England does not need to worry much about Kazakhstan whom they thrashed 5-1 at home in October last year. This is very important to note that England is currently leading the point table of Group 6 with maximum 15 points as Capello boys has won all five games so far in their world cup qualifying mission.

Kazakhstan also has something to take inspiration from their 5-1 mauling by England at the Wembley Stadium, England. Even though the Kazakhs lost the game by a big margin, they kept the England players waiting to get their first goal until second, maintaining clean sheet in the first half. Coach Bernd Shtork has always given priority to the fitness level of the players.

No doubt, Kazakhstan players conceded a number of goals mainly because of lack of stamina in that match which was followed by a 5-1 home defeat to Belarus in April 2009. Shtork is now so strict about fitness that he even ruled out strike Murat Tleshev, who was the leading scorer of last season, from the squad for the England match due to his 9 kilograms overweight. Goalkeeper David Loria has also failed to make it to the squad on fitness ground. The manager called up 8 uncapped players in the 22-men squad. Captain Ruslan Baltiyev has been ruled out due to knee injury, and Andrei Karpovich will deputize the team in his absence.

With only 3 points from 5 matches, Kazakhstan is now out of the race to make it to the final event of FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Though Kazakhstan is a minnows in the group, England is less likely to take them lightly because they are going to play in the country for the first time and the condition will be unfamiliar for the England team. Keeping his respect for the opposition, England midfielder and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said that it is a game that England should win. He thinks that England should go into the game with right attitude.

USA Today reported:

"With all due respect to Kazakhstan and Andorra, these are games we should win so, we need to approach them with the right attitude and get the job done," midfielder Steven Gerrard said. "If we win these two games, we will be three points away from qualification with three games to play.

"That puts us basically in the driving seat."

England does not need to worry about their recent form as they have won 10 out of their lat 11 international games and have not lost any point in their qualifying campaign yet. The only problem is a number of injury woes that they are dealing with now. They are currently missing three goalkeepers David James, Chris Kirkland and Ben Foster who are suffering from injury. Aaron Lennon and Stewart Downing will miss the game due to injury. Most importantly, England will miss two key players in Michael Carrick and Rio Ferdinand due to injury. Even Chelsea left back Ashley Cole is also doubtful for the game. Emile Heskey returned from injury, but Peter Crouch is more likely to stick to his position up front.

England team will also have to adapt to the weather and condition when they will face Kazakhstan at the Almaty Central Stadium, Almaty. The stadium is about 700 metres above sea level. No doubt, it would be a big challenge for England to adapt to the condition.

Telegraph reported:

Of more immediate concern to Capello, when he takes his squad for a training session here on Thursday, will be the conditions. At the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains, Almaty is around 700 metres above sea level, which will take some adjusting to, while pollution levels are also high.

Overall, England is clearly favorite for the game, but English players have to face some pressure due to their favorite’s tag and deal with the challenges to adapt to the new condition. Kazakhstan has nothing to lose in the game, but has everything to win in front of their home fans. Naturally, Kazakhstan will have no pressure while facing England, and this could in turn inspire the Kazakh players to display an inspirational performance against England.

England vs Kazakhstan Live Updates: 6 June 2009

The first thing that comes to my mind about the country of Kazakhstan is that it is a very large country and the people are crazy about football. Until a few years ago, it used to participate in Asian region football competitions but it changed its continent and joined Europe or UEFA. I think that it was a very smart decision because this way, Kazakhstan football is getting a lot of media coverage that would not have happened if it was a part of Asian football. In fact on the Saturday, It is going to host England in a World Cup qualifying match for 2010.

The outcome of the match does not matter to the host country but for England, it has very serious implications. If England can win the match and then they will be very any hour of a sure place of qualifying for World Cup football 2010. on the other hand, Kazakhstan has nothing to win or lose except that if they can win then it’ll be a historical achievement for them. All the tickets for the match has been already sold and many people in the country are very unhappy that they could not get a ticket.
