1922: I’ve only gone and embedded some video in the top of this live, haven’t I So, web users, if you manually refresh your screen, you will be able to watch Czech Republic v Northern Ireland.
Wales goal: It had been coming, and Wales finally break the deadlock. Gareth Bale has had a lot of joy down their left already and his ball along the six-yard box is converted on the slide by Blackpool’s David Vaughan, netting his first goal for his country.1918: GOAL Liechtenstein 0-1 Wales****From Sarah, Wolverhampton, via text on 81111: "What more could we want Well personally I want a miracle and would like Malta to beat Portugal, despite not having scored once in qualifying thus far. Am I asking for too much"1915: David Hasler lets fly with a left-foot shot from the edge of the Wales area and it was going in you know, before Boaz Myhill gets down smartly to push it away. It had mostly been all Wales until then, though.1913: Northern Ireland make three changes to the side that lost to Slovakia as Chris Baird, Ryan McGivern and Niall McGinn come in for the injured Jonny Evans, Martin Paterson and Sammy Clingan.1911: Czech Republic v Northern Ireland line-ups:
Czech Republic: Cech, Pospech, Hubnik, Sivok, Jankulovski, Jarolim, Hubschman, Rosicky, Plasil, Baros, Necid.
Subs: Kinsky, Grygera, Hlousek, Rozehnal, Stajner, Papadopulos, Pudil.
Northern Ireland: Taylor, McAuley, McGivern, Hughes, Craigan, Johnson, Baird, McGinn, McCann, Davis, Healy.
Subs: Tuffey, Mannus, Coates, Feeney, O’Connor, Kirk, McCourt.
Referee: Laurent Duhamel (France)From CanadianWanderer on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A58374480)"I am so glad Capello is sticking by his policy of players “in form” - FOSTER FERDINAND Ridiculous."1905: World Cup Danny: "A whole bunch of matches kicking off at 1900 BST. But just to help you sort the wheat from the chaff - keep your eyes on Switzerland v Israel and Greece v Luxembourg. Those two matches are likely to decide the top two places, although should Luxembourg perform some kind of miracle, Latvia v Moldova could also be of interest."1902: They are under way in Liechtenstein as Wales play their last World Cup qualifier. Meanwhile, Shay Given and Kevin Kilbane will win their 100th caps for Republic of Ireland when they meet Montenegro tonight.1900: Stevo’s Predos:
Czech Republic 2-1 Northern Ireland
England 2-1 Belarus
Liechtenstein 0-2 Wales
Uruguay 2-2 Argentina1858 World Cup Danny’s busy talking about himself again: "Here’s World Cup Danny’s first rule of the World Cup: Never write off the Germans. Former Charlton favourite Jonatan Johansson put Finland 1-0 up in Hamburg - and they led until the actual final minute when Lukas Podolski scrambled a scruffy equaliser. Germany have not lost a home World Cup qualifier since England won 5-1 in Munich in September 2001. Remember that one Unbeaten Germany are group winners with 26 points, runners-up Russia finish on 22 after a 1-1 draw in Azerbaijan."1857: England team to play Belarus: Foster; Johnson, Ferdinand, Terry, Bridge; Lennon, Barry, Lampard, Wright-Phillips; Crouch, Agbonlahor.
Subs: Hart, Upson, A Cole, Milner, Carrick, Beckham, C Cole.From Tom in Notts, via text on 81111: "Having read this, I’ve decided to do the right thing and stay up for Argentina too. Messi et al playing for a World Cup spot Do or die Having a bit of that."1850: Worth keeping an eye out for Chile v Ecuador later, too, because if Ecuador beat already-qualified Chile, then the losers of Uruguay-Argentina would not even make the play-offs. If it’s a draw in Montevideo, Argentina will go through automatically - unless Ecuador win by five goals.1847: So, Argentina and their manager - perhaps the most box office personality football has ever seen.Diego Armando Maradona has enchanted, beguiled and infuriated for more than 30 years now,and he is not finished yet. Tonight, he will either further cement his place in the hearts of his people, or become the centrepiece of their greatest humiliation.From Jeimuzu on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A58374480)"What more could we want Darren Bent, that’s what. He’s scored more than anyone but Torres this season, and as many as Crouch and Gabby put together! Is he injured or something"1840: Injury-hit **Wales **receive a major boost as they look to end a disappointing qualifying campaign on a high note, with Arsenal teenager Aaron Ramsey passed fit to bolster their weakened midfield - where he will play alongside David Vaughan and David Edwards. Ashley Williams is one of three centre-backs picked by John Toshack but could be moved up to join that trio as a holding midfielder. Up front, with Craig Bellamy suspended, Jermaine Easter partners Simon Church. Liechenstein have key striker Mario Frick back from suspension but Michele Polverino is on the bench after failing to fully shake off a muscle strain. Wales will either be 3-5-2 with Chris Gunter and Gareth Bale as wing-backs or 4-4-2 with Williams in midfield.From ojl on Twitter:](http://twitter.com/Stevo_football)"A big shout out to Jari Litmanen, please - the legend is almost certainly playing his final international match tonight."1834: Wales’ game at the Rheinepark Stadium is just about as pointless as the hosts’ very participation in Group Four, but for Northern Ireland, all not yet lost. Well, it is, butWorld Cup Danny would kill me if I didn’t tell you mathematically they still have a chance.As they need to beat the Czechs in Prague, hope San Marino beat Slovenia and turn around a seven-goal deficit in the process, we can probably just forget about it. It’s a shootout between Slovakia and Slovenia to win the group, with the Slovaks needing to win in Poland to be sure of top spot.1832: Liechtenstein v Wales line-ups:
Liechtenstein: Jehle, Ritzberger, Oehri, Eberle, D’Elia, Kieber, Rechsteiner, Ronny Buchel, Rohrer, Frick, Hasler.
Subs: Bicer, Stefan Buchel, Roger Beck, Christen, Polverino.
Wales: Myhill, Gunter, Bale, Morgan, Collins, Williams, Vaughan, Ramsey, Edwards, Church, Easter.
Subs: Price, Eardley, Nyatanga, Vokes, Bradley, King, MacDonald.
Referee: Sten Kaldma (Estonia)1829: England have no such qualifying issues to be worrying themselves with. They play their last tie at Wembley against Belarus and it’s a chance for Signor Capello to try a couple of different players.We don’t know the exact team, but we do know that Peter Crouch will partner Gabby Agbonlahor up top.Blistering pace, aerial threat, touch, finishing - what more could you want from a front two1825: World Cup Danny II: "Just 23 months after spectacularly dumping England out of Euro 2008 with a qualifying victory at Wembley, Croatia find themselves without a tournament to visit next summer. Ukraine’s 6-0 win in Andorra means they get second spot in Group Six ahead of Croatia - who won 2-1 in Kazakhstan thanks to Niko Kranjcar’s last-minute goal. The Croatia result was academic. And it was, in fact, England who did for them. The thumping 5-1 win at Wembley in September, coupled with Saturday’s 1-0 defeat in Dnipropetrovsk handed the initiative firmly to Ukraine, and they have taken advantage."1823: Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce **World Cup Danny **on this magical evening: "Group Four fans will know that it’s pretty much done and dusted over there, with Germany qualifying outright and Russia heading for the play-offs. But they may also enjoy some spirited underdog displays so far - Azerbaijan are drawing 1-1 with Russia, while Finland are an eye-opening 1-0 up in Germany. Doesn’t bode too well for Wales, who travel to Liechtenstein for their 1900 BST match."From Raphael in Stratford, via text on 81111: "See 1800: Didn’t know Carlos Roa was playing tonight Stevo. Hope He saves any pens."1817: You would be well within your rights to accuse me of being almost embarrassingly excited by tonight’s events. But really, can you blame me Check this out - if Portugal and Argentina don’t win tonight, the World Cup could well be taking place without Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi - as well as Zlatan Ibrahimovic.1814: Breaking news: Our606 thread will be open until 0100 BST on Thursday,an extension of two hours beyond normal closing time. Oh, and let’s not pretend for a second that World Cup Danny isn’t involved tonight too. Don’t say we never spoil you.1811: Latest scores from England’s group: Andorra 0-3 Ukraine and Kazakhstan 1-1 Croatia. That means Sheva’s boys are heading for the play-offs.1808: “Enough procrastinating,” I hear you cry, “give us a run down of what’s happening when so we can plan our lives and then text our chat to 81111,join the debate on 606andTwitter Stevoas well.” Yep, I’m on Twitter. Deal with it. Here’s what’s what and when:
Liechtenstein v Wales, 1900 BST
Czech Republic v Northern Ireland, 1930 BST
**England **v Belarus, 2000 BST,
Uruguay v Argentina, 2300 BST
It’s crunch time for World Cup hopefuls1805: That’s right. Not only are we going to satisfy your thirst for all things England, Northern Ireland and Wales, but we are going to keep this live text going for arguably the biggest game of the season so far - Uruguay v Argentina, with the winner claiming a World Cup place and the loser potentially missing out on even a play-off berth. Don’t you dare go anywhere for the next seven hours.1800: You’ve got to ask yourself one question, El Diego: Do you feel lucky Well, do ya Tonight, the greatest living Argentine could be responsible for his country’s first non-appearance at the World Cup finals in 40 years. Can the Bearded One hand him a Jules Rimet-sized lifeline at the Centenario in MontevideoThis article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
