World Cup football on Betfair Live Video.

England's World Cup qualifying campaign opener against Andorra is likely to be a dour affair so Betfair Live Video viewers will be relieved to know that we will be serving up some potentially juicier action this week.

And it's a broad and varied sweep we'll be making around the globe. On Monday there's league football from Finland and China followed on Friday by under-21 World Cup qualifiers where you'll get a chance to monitor and bet on the progress of the next generation of global stars.

But the real action starts at the weekend. On Saturday you can follow the fortunes of home nations Scotland and Northern Ireland as they bid to get their campaigns off to a positive start with tough trips to Macedonia and Slovakia respectively. Both nations have made giant strides towards qualifying for major tournaments in recent season's and Scotland boss George Burley will be particularly keen to make it this time.

The big boys are in action in the evening with World champions Italy and semi-finalists Portugal both kicking off under new management. One country who probably wish they had a new boss are France but on current form Raymond Domenech would survive a nuclear fall-out and he leads the Euro 2008 flops as they begin with an away trip to Austria.

On Sunday Live Video follows the South Africa 2010 road further afield as to bring you football from the South American qualifying groups.
