It's international football week and, as ever, Betfair Live Video is right where the action is...
Terry Butcher may give him short shrift but Betfair Live Video is made of more forgiving stuff and this Wednesday will be "on hand" to bring you coverage of Maradonna's first match as manager of Argentina.
El Diego will receive a rapturous reception when he takes his troops to Hampden Park for a friendly against Scotland. Play gets under way at 20:00 and although the combination of newly appointed captain Javier Mascherano and a goal-hungry Carlos Tevez probably justifes Argentina's current match odds of [1.72], it's worth noting that Maradonna only took his first coaching session on Monday. And the highlight of that was the loss of midfielder Fernando Gago's gold medallion. So you never know, Scotland might be value at [6.0] and the draw may appeal at [3.8].
Elsewhere on Live Video this international football week, France face a potentially tricky encounter with Uruguay in Paris, Republic of Ireland host Poland and Italy travel to Greece. These fixtures all take place on Wednesday (19.11.08).
"Give a man enough caffeine and he's capable of anything," says Malcolm Gladwell, so-called leading thinker of the ipod generation (contradiction?). Let's hope so. Because caffeine might be the difference between nodding off and catching the best bets from a region famed for its coffee as Live Video burns the midnight oil to show you international friendlies from the Americas late Wednesday night/early Thursday moring.
USA v Gautemala and Honduras v Mexico sounds like something out of the life of Che Guevara but the real revolutionary fervour occurs deeper down on Wednesday when, at midnight, Brazil host Portugal in what is sure to be a feast of expansive football.
Look out for the usual fills of Premier League Snooker on Thursday, Basketball from Germany and Spain and top-flight football from Spain and Russia at the weekend.
Adeus!
