The teams involved are Brazil, Turkey, USA, Cameroon, New Zealand, Columbia, Japan and the hosts France. With a wide diversity in experience and talent between the teams, the matches should prove to be interesting spectacles in a tournament that has been criticised for adding to players' otherwise hectic schedule. England fans will be keen to keep an eye on the form of the Turks as David Beckham and his team travel to Istanbul in October

Croatia v England
Croatia v England (Kick-off 6.00pm). Tonight's Euro 2008 Group E qualifier comes from the Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb, where Steve McClaren's men need a major improvement from their 0-0 draw against Macedonia on Saturday. Croatia and Israel are likely to be England's biggest rivals as they bid to qualify for the finals in Austria and Switzerland, so three points tonight would be a huge boost to their aspirations. England's last away trip came against Macedonia, when they were far from convincing in a 1-0 win, but McClaren would accept a similar performance here providing the result is the same, although a rousing display would do much for the confidence of the players and fans alike
-
Croatia v England
Croatia v England (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the Group Six World Cup qualifier at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb, as England play their second match of the campaign. Defeats home and away to Croatia contributed heavily to England failing to reach Euro 2008, where the Croats went out on penalties to Turkey in the quarter-finals.

-
Cyprus v Republic of Ireland
Cyprus v Republic of Ireland (Kick-off 6.00pm). Brian Kerr's side play their penultimate World Cup qualifier in Group Four this evening at the Neo GSP Stadium in Nicosia, knowing that defeat would all but end their dreams of playing in Germany next year. The pressure is on for the Irish players, but they will look to their 3-0 win over the Cypriots at Lansdowne Road at the start of the campaign to boost confidence levels. Victory would send the visitors into their final match against Switzerland in the knowledge that another three points would guarantee them a play-off spot and could even be enough for them to win the group. Presented by Bill O'Herlihy, with commentary from George Hamilton and Ray Houghton
-
Cyprus v Republic of Ireland
Cyprus v Republic of Ireland (Kick-off 7.30pm). All the action from the World Cup Group Eight qualifier at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia. Giovanni Trapattoni's men won the reverse fixture 1-0 thanks to a goal by Robbie Keane, and another win today would leave them with an excellent chance of making at least the play-off round. However, the Republic's last visit to these shores ended in embarrassment, as the hosts recorded an emphatic 5-2 win three years ago
-
Cyprus v Republic of Ireland
Cyprus v Republic of Ireland (Kick-off 5.30pm). All the action from this evening's Euro 2008 Group D qualifier at the Neo GSP Stadium in Nicosia. This is only Ireland's second competitive match of the season, but with group rivals Germany and Czech Republic already boasting six points each, the pressure is mounting on Steve Staunton and his men. The visitors were guests here just 12 months ago during the hosts' unsuccessful World Cup qualification campaign, when Stephen Elliott scored the only goal in a 1-0 win - a result Staunton would welcome after seeing his side lose their previous three matches
-
Cyprus v Wales
Cyprus v Wales. Coverage of the international friendly match at the Tsirio Stadium in Limassol between two sides that had disappointing World Cup qualifying campaigns, with both finishing fifth in their respective groups.

Commentary by Darragh Maloney and Trevor Steven
-
Czech Republic v Republic of Ireland
Czech Republic v Republic of Ireland (Kick-off 7.30pm). This evening's crucial Euro 2008 Group D qualifier comes from the Sparta Stadium in Prague. This is the biggest game of Ireland's campaign so far as victory could see them leapfrog their opponents into a qualification position. The teams drew 1-1 when they met at Lansdowne Road earlier in the campaign, but a similar result would favour the Czechs rather than Steve Staunton's men, as finishing ahead of the Irish is likely to guarantee their place in the finals
-
Czech Republic v Wales
Czech Republic v Wales (Kick-off 7.15pm). All the action from the Euro 2008 Group D qualifier at the Na Stinadlech Stadion in Teplice, where the teams begin their campaigns to reach the finals. The Czechs began their World Cup campaign with a convincing victory over the United States, but failed to qualify from the group following poor performances against Ghana and Italy, so they are especially keen to return to winning ways tonight. John Toshack is building a young side that he hopes will bring success, but they will have to show maturity beyond their years if they are to take anything from this match against one of the strongest teams in Europe
-
Denmark Under-21s v England Under-21s
Denmark Under-21s v England Under-21s (Kick-off 6.00pm).

Denmark v England
Denmark v England (Kick-off 7.00pm). Coverage of the friendly encounter at the Parken Stadion in Copenhagen, where Sven-Goran Eriksson's side return to action for the first time since their 3-2 victory over Colombia in May. England's end-of-season tour also included a 2-1 win over the United States, when Kieran Richardson marked a spectacular debut with two goals. The Manchester United midfielder has been left out of the squad this time around, but Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Michael Carrick will be hoping to get his chance after also impressing in the States, but Eriksson may opt to play his strongest line-up with this being the only warm-up game ahead of next month's clash
-
Denmark v Portugal
Denmark v Portugal (Kick-off 7.00pm). This evening's World Cup Group One qualifier comes from the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.

Brian Kerr's Irish side will be on a high following their win against the Czech Republic last month and they'll want to boost morale further with a good display against a tough Polish team. The Scots are currently going through a transitional period and have found things difficult of late - can they boost morale in the camp with a good performance? Portugal lost their last game against Italy and will want to get back to winning ways as they prepare to host this summer's big football event
-

Ecuador v Chile

The Ecuadorians progressed through to the last 16 of the 2006 World Cup in Germany before losing to England, but they need to start collecting points on a more consistent basis if they are to reach the finals once again. Their home form has been their saving grace so far this campaign and it will need to continue if they are to get the better of the Chileans here
-
Ecuador v Colombia
Ecuador v Colombia (Kick-off 11.00pm). The second of this evening's South American World Cup qualifiers comes from the Estadio Olimpico Atahualpa in Quito.

England have made an excellent start to their campaign, picking up maximum points from their visits to Austria and Poland, with Carlton Cole and Darren Bent both on target in each of the matches and they'll be favourites to make it a hat-trick of victories against their Welsh counterparts
-
England v Albania
England v Albania (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the crucial World Cup qualifier at Newcastle United's St James' Park. With the Germany game now confined to history, Sven Goran Eriksson will want his rejuvenated side to cap off a great few days with a comfortable home victory. With Michael Owen playing the best football of his life at the minute, and the Paul Scholes and Steven Gerrard partnership beginning to blossom in the middle of the pitch, there are plenty of positives for the home side to draw on, including the reality that a win tonight would see them top Group Nine with just one game left to play
-
England v Andorra
England v Andorra (Kick-off 8.15pm). Steve Rider is joined by Andy Townsend and Teddy Sheringham to present coverage of the World Cup Group Six qualifier at Wembley Stadium, where the hosts take on the group minnows. England laboured to a 2-0 victory when the sides met in their first match of the campaign last September, with two second-half goals by Joe Cole eventually proving the difference. This is the second time Andorra have visited these shores to face England, having lost 5-0 on their previous visit in a 2006 World Cup qualifier at Old Trafford. Commentary by Clive Tyldesley and David Pleat

England v Andorra (Kick-off 8.15pm). Coverage of the World Cup Group Six qualifier at Wembley Stadium, where the hosts take on the group minnows. England laboured to a 2-0 victory when the sides met in their first match of the campaign last September, with two second-half goals by Joe Cole eventually proving the difference. This is the second time Andorra had visited these shores to face England, having lost 5-0 on their previous visit in a 2006 World Cup qualifier at Old Trafford
-
England v Australia
England v Australia (Kick-off 8.00pm). The bulldozers have finally taken over at Wembley, so Sven-Goran Eriksson's men continue their nomadic existence with this friendly against Frank Farina's Socceroos at Upton Park. Leeds United's Paul Okon will lead the Australians against an England side desperate for a morale-boosting victory following a poor start to their Euro 2004 qualifying campaign
-
England v Belarus
England v Belarus (Kick-off 8.00pm). Steve Rider presents all the action from the World Cup Group Six qualifier held at Wembley Stadium. The hosts have already secured qualification, but the selected players will be eager to put in a good performance to ensure they remain in Fabio Capello's plans for the finals in South Africa. Belarus have lost 1-0 away to Croatia and Ukraine during this campaign, and succumbed to a 3-1 home defeat to England a year ago. With commentary by Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend
-
England v Cameroon / South Korea v France
England v Cameroon (Kick-off 7.00am) and South Korea v France (Kick-off 11.00am). Coverage of two of today's international friendly matches. Just days before the World Cup finals begin, Sven-Goran Eriksson's men face a talented African side, while world champions France take on one of the host nations
-
England v Croatia
England v Croatia (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the international friendly at Ipswich Town's Portman Road, as Sven-Goran Eriksson's side continue their preparations for the forthcoming Euro 2004 qualifier against Macedonia. The Croatians have a wealth of skilful individuals in their side but have been let down by their brittle temperament too often in the past : can Sven's boys take advantage and notch up a morale-boosting victory?
-
England v Croatia
England v Croatia (Kick-off 8.00pm). Fabio Capello's England will bid to secure a place in the 2010 World Cup finals with a win in tonight's Group Six qualifier at Wembley Stadium. It is less than two years since Slaven Bilic's men last appeared on this ground, when they ended Steve McClaren's reign as manager and England's hope of qualifying for Euro 2008 by condemning the hosts to a 3-2 defeat on a rainy November night. Under Capello, however, England's form has improved markedly, and seven wins from as many matches during qualification has them within touching distance of a place in South Africa next summer. Three points would confirm matters, while a draw may also prove enough, but would depend on Ukraine's result away to Belarus in one of this evening's other fixtures. Presented by Steve Rider, with commentary from Clive Tyldesley and Jim Beglin
-
England v Czech Republic
England v Czech Republic (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the friendly fixture at Wembley Stadium, as both sides prepare for forthcoming World Cup qualifiers.

-
England v Denmark
England v Denmark (Kick-off 4.00pm). Coverage of the friendly game from Old Trafford as Sven-Goran Eriksson starts his team's preparations for Euro 2004 in earnest against a well organised Danish outfit. The Swede will be able to take a closer look at some of the squad players hoping to cement their places in Portugal as they are given an opportunity to impress the manager. Denmark topped a qualifying group that contained Norway and Romania so are no pushovers and Chelsea's Jesper Gronkjaer will want to give some of his teammates a torrid time
-
England v Germany
England v Germany. Richard Keys introduces coverage of the Group Nine qualifier at Wembley, where Kevin Keegan's side kick-off their campaign for a place in the 2002 South Korea and Japan finals with the last game to ever be played under the famous twin towers. Rudi Voller's side won convincingly against Greece in their opening game and it seems the inspirational coach has reversed the poor run of form which saw them get knocked out of Euro 2000 without winning a game. England were one of the teams that beat them there, Alan Shearer scoring the only goal, but the inspirational skipper will be absent this afternoon after his retirement from international football and the manager will be looking to Liverpool ace Michael Owen to continue his sparkling early season form and find the back of t he net. Commentary by Martin Tyler and Andy Gray
-
England v Holland
England v Holland (Kick-off 7.45pm). Richard Keys introduces this evening's international friendly match at White Hart Lane. Holland have been rocked in recent months by the long-term suspensions of Edgar Davids and Frank De Boer : but have more than enough strength in depth to threaten Sven Goran Eriksson's unbeaten run as England coach. Martin Tyler and Andy Gray commentate
-
England v Iceland
England v Iceland (Kick-off 3.30pm). The final game of the Summer Tournament at the City of Manchester Stadium, as the hosts look to come away with at least a 2-0 victory which would see them lift the trophy. With Sven-Goran Eriksson's squad for Euro 2004 now officially confirmed, the Swede will be hoping for two things this afternoon - to come away with a morale-boosting win, and that his players avoid any injuries that would affect their participation this summer
-
England v Italy
England v Italy (Kick-off 8.00pm). Richard Keys presents the friendly match from Elland Road where both teams will be looking to continue their preparations for this summer's World Cup finals. Sven-Goran Eriksson will probably take this opportunity to test out players on the fringe of his squad for Japan and South Korea as the day he names his final 23 draws nearer. England captain David Beckham will also realise that his side have to be at their very best if they are to reverse the friendly defeat inflicted on them by a Gennaro Gattuso thunderbolt when the teams last met on a mist-shrouded Turin night in November 2000. Martin Tyler and Andy Gray commentate
-
England v Japan
England v Japan (Kick-off 8.00pm). Sven-Goran Eriksson's side begin their Euro 2004 preparations with this match at the City of Manchester Stadium, part of the FA's Summer Tournament. The hosts have failed to win a game since they beat Liechtenstein in a Euro 2004 qualifier at Old Trafford last September, when Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney were on the scoresheet - can England's latest strikeforce find the back of the net against a Japanese side who are more than capable of beating any team on their day?
-
England v Kazakhstan
England v Kazakhstan (Kick-off 5.15pm). This evening's coverage comes from Wembley Stadium, as Fabio Capello's men play the third game of their World Cup Group Six qualifying campaign. This is the first meeting between the teams and the hosts are expected to win comfortably, though after their incredible 4-1 win in Croatia last time out, cannot afford to be complacent. The visitors have just one win from their three games so far but, unlike Andorra, who England struggled against in their opening game, are a team of professionals. They gave Ukraine a competitive match in a 3-1 defeat last time out and boast the group's joint leading goal scorer in Sergei Ostapenko, who has three goals to his name. However, anything other than a resounding win for the home side would be considered as a huge failure. Presented by Steve Rider, with guest Andy Townsend. Commentary by Clive Tyldesley and David Pleat
-
England v Kazakhstan
England v Kazakhstan (Kick-off 5.15pm). Coverage of the World Cup Group Six qualification fixture at Wembley Stadium, as Fabio Capello's men play their first home game of the campaign. England will hope to maintain the form that demolished Croatia in their last match and they enter the encounter top of the group, while Kazakhstan have lost two of their three fixtures so far, conceding three goals in each of those defeats
-
England v Liechtenstein
England v Liechtenstein (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the Euro 2004 Group Seven qualifier at Old Trafford. Sven-Goran Eriksson's side still have their destiny in their own hands and know that four points from their final two matches will see them through to next year's extravaganza in Portugal. First they must beat the group minnows at the Theatre of Dreams, but with the likes of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen in the side, that should prove to be little problem
-
England v Macedonia
England v Macedonia (Kick-off 8.00pm). Southampton's St Mary's Stadium is the venue for England's second European Championship qualifying match. Nothing less than three points for Sven-Goran Eriksson's men will suffice : and they will be confident of getting them against the visitors, who opened their campaign with a disappointing draw away to Liechtenstein. Plus, the first half of Turkey v Liechenstein (Kick-off 6.30pm)
-
England v Mexico
England v Mexico (Kick-off 7.45pm). Richard Keys introduces this evening's international friendly match at Pride Park.

Martin Tyler and Andy Gray commentate
-
England v Northern Ireland
England v Northern Ireland. Extended highlights of the Group Six World Cup qualifier at Old Trafford
-
England v Paraguay
England v Paraguay (Kick-off 8.00pm). Richard Keys presents coverage of the friendly at Anfield, as Sven-Goran Eriksson's men play their final match on home turf before the World Cup. After the disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Italy three weeks ago, the coach will almost certainly give his favoured starting 11 a run out tonight. As on that occasion at Elland Road, there could well be numerous changes again : giving the so-called 'fringe' players one last chance to cement their place in the final 23. Commentary by Martin Tyler and Andy Gray
-
England v Portugal
England v Portugal (Kick-off 4.00pm). Richard Keys introduces this afternoon's international match at Villa Park, as Sven-Goran Eriksson's men prepare for the Euro 2004 qualifiers. With David Beckham and Kieron Dyer both injured in the latest Premiership matches, the chance is there for the likes of Lee Bowyer, David Dunn and Joe Cole to put themselves in line for a regular starting place
-
England v Serbia & Montenegro
England v Serbia & Montenegro (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of tonight's friendly at Leicester City's Walkers Stadium. The men from Eastern Europe will hoping to claim their first victory since October, but will face a tough task against a resurgent England side. After a 2-0 victory against Turkey in their last competitive match, Sven Goran-Eriksson will expect his men to keep up the momentum with victory here, as well as boost morale for their European Championship qualifier with Slovakia next week
-
England v Slovakia
England v Slovakia (Kick-off 8.00pm). Action from the crucial European Championship 2004 qualifier at the Riverside Stadium. Sven-Goran Eriksson will be hoping his side continue the form they showed in their last competitive match when they beat Turkey 2-0 at The Stadium of Light. The Slovakians will be desperate for three points if they are to stand any chance of qualifying for the tournament in Portugal, and with Middlesbrough striker Szilard Nemeth on board an upset could be on the cards. Including first-half coverage of Turkey v Macedonia (Kick-off 7.00pm)
-
England v Slovakia
England v Slovakia (Kick-off 5.15pm). All the action from the friendly at Wembley Stadium, where the hosts are looking to maintain their unbeaten home record under Fabio Capello.

-
England v Slovenia
England v Slovenia (Kick-off 5.30pm). Steve Rider introduces coverage of this evening's friendly at Wembley Stadium, where Fabio Capello's men prepare for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Croatia.

Commentary by Peter Drury and Andy Townsend
-
England v Spain
England v Spain (Kick-off 8.00pm). Richard Keys presents the friendly international from Villa Park. After all the hype, talking and speculation Sven-Goran Eriksson eventually starts a match as the new England boss, and fans will be hoping the highly-rated Swede can turn round a poor run of form which sees the side languishing at the bottom of their World Cup group. With less than a month to the next qualifier, tonight's match will be an opportunity for the new coach to experiment with the line-up, but stalwarts David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Emile Heskey are sure to feature if fit. Spain's fortunes on the other hand couldn't be more different, the side were widely admired for their performances in Euro 2000 and are currently sitting unbeaten at the top of their World Cup group. Friendly internationals don't come much tougher than this and it could well prove a baptism of fire for Eriksson. Commentary by Martin Tyler and Andy Gray
-
England v Sweden
England v Sweden (Kick-off 3.00pm). All the action from this afternoon's international friendly fixture at Old Trafford between two sides that could meet again in the World Cup finals next year.

-
England v Turkey
England v Turkey (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the Euro 2004 qualifying Group Seven match at Sunderland's Stadium of Light.

-
England v Ukraine
England v Ukraine (Kick-off 8.00pm). Steve Rider is joined by Teddy Sheringham, Joe Cole and Andy Townsend to introduce coverage of this evening's World Cup Group Six qualifier at Wembley Stadium.

England's last competitive game was a 3-1 success in Belarus, when Wayne Rooney struck twice to take his tally to five goals for the campaign. Commentary by Clive Tyldesley and David Pleat
-
Estonia v Croatia
Estonia v Croatia (Kick-off 7.30pm). This evening's Euro 2008 Group E qualifier takes place at the Lillekula Stadium in Tallinn, where England will also appear next Wednesday. The hosts have lost all five of their qualifiers so far and stand no chance of reaching the finals in Austria and Switzerland next year. In contrast, the Croatians are unbeaten during the campaign and currently lead the table, and victory tonight would take them five points clear of Steve McClaren's men
-
Estonia v England
Estonia v England (Kick-off 7.30pm). This evening's crucial Euro 2008 Group E qualifier takes place at the Lillekula Stadium in Tallinn, where victory for the visitors is crucial if they are to stay in contention for a qualification spot. Steve McClaren's men were jeered by their own fans during and after their defeat of Andorra in their last competitive match and need a much-improved performance here. The Estonians have lost all five of their games during the campaign, but are still considered as tough opposition on their own ground and capable of inflicting a shock defeat on McClaren's men
-
Estonia v Republic of Ireland
Estonia v Republic of Ireland (Kick-off 5.00pm). Coverage of the World Cup Group Two qualifying match. After taking the lead against Portugal on Saturday, one of the so-called big two sides in the group, Mick McCarthy's men were denied victory by a late Luis Figo goal. However, they remain in a strong position at the top of the table and will be aware that a victory against the talented but inexperienced Eastern Europeans will put them firmly in control of their destiny. Jonathan Pearce and Jack Charlton commentate

Faroe Islands v Republic of Ireland
Faroe Islands v Republic of Ireland (Kick-off 7.30pm). Coverage of the World Cup Group Four qualifier at the Torsvollur Stadium in Torshavn, a game Brian Kerr's men are expected to win against the group minnows. The visitors let a two-goal lead slip in their last match against Israel after strikes by Ian Harte and Robbie Keane, and with very little to choose between the top four sides in the standings, goal difference could prove crucial
-

Faroe Islands v Scotland
Faroe Islands v Scotland (Kick-off 5.15pm). This evening's Euro 2008 Group B qualifier comes from the Svangaskard Stadium in Toftir. Alex McLeish's men are in contention for a place in next year's finals, but can't afford to drop any points against the group minnows - as they did in a 2-2 draw on this ground five years ago - if they are to stay in the hunt for a top-two position

-
France v Italy
France v Italy (Kick-off 8.00pm). Tonight's Euro 2008 Group B qualifier comes from the Stade de France, a match which is a repeat of the summer's World Cup final. In a game that will always be remembered for Zinedine Zidane's head-butt on Marco Materazzi, the Italians were the ones who held their nerve in the penalty shoot-out to claim their fourth world crown. Roberto Donadoni has since taken the reins from Marcello Lippi and faces his biggest challenge to date against the French, who have genuine designs on reclaiming the title they last won in 2000, when they beat Italy in the final thanks to a golden goal from David Trezeguet
-

-
France v Japan
France v Japan (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the Confederations Cup Group A match in St Etienne between the Euro 2000 champions and the 2000 Asian Nations Cup winners. The hosts have responded well to their shock early exit from last summer's World Cup and are breezing through their Euro 2004 qualifying group. Jacques Santini's men defeated Colombia in their opening game, when a Thierry Henry penalty was enough to see off the South Americans. Two goals from Shunsuke Nakamura helped Japan get their campaign off to a winning start, as they eased to a 3-0 victory over the All Whites of New Zealand. This looks set to be an intriguing encounter between two contrasting nations, both eager for three points that will aid their chances of qualification to the next round

-
France v Scotland
France v Scotland (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the Euro 2008 Group B qualifier at the Parc des Princes in Paris, a match the visitors can ill afford to lose. The Scots produced one of their finest ever performances to defeat the World Cup runners-up 1-0 last year, but that would be bettered if they could get anything out of this game. A loss would make qualifying for next summer's tournament an even tougher task, but the French aren't as consistent as they once were and Alex McLeish's men are full of confidence

Burley has inspired his team to just one victory during his six games in charge so far - a 2-1 success away to Iceland - and has seen his World Cup hopes suffer as a result. The countries have played three times down the years, with one win apiece: the Argentines were 3-1 winners here in 1979, before the Scots exacted their revenge with a 1-0 success on the same ground 11 years later

Scotland v Belarus
Scotland v Belarus (Kick-off 3.00pm). The World Cup qualifiers return to the focus of attention once again this weekend, as the Scots entertain Belarus at Hampden Park in this must-win Group Five game for Walter Smith's side.

Kenny Miller had a slow start to his international career, but scored three goals in his last two matches and looks certain to start today's match, and he'll need to continue his good form or Scotland can kiss goodbye to their hopes of playing in next year's finals

-
Scotland v Croatia
Scotland v Croatia (Kick-off 3.00pm). Coverage of this afternoon's World Cup Group Six qualifying match at Hampden Park. After five games, only goal difference separates the two sides. A win here for Craig Brown's men would see them move into second spot behind Belgium and in with a good shout of reaching next year's finals, but they won't be taking today's opposition lightly after seeing them recently fight back from two goals down to clinch a draw against the Republic of Ireland
-
Scotland v Croatia

-

-

Scotland v Faroe Islands (Kick-off 3.00pm).

-
Scotland v Faroe Islands
Scotland v Faroe Islands (Kick-off 3.00pm) Coverage of the Euro 2004 qualifier at Hampden Park.

-
Scotland v France
Scotland v France (Kick-off 5.00pm). The second of today's live Euro 2008 qualifiers comes from Hampden Park, as the Scots take on the World Cup runners-up in Group B. Walter Smith's men currently sit top of the group following impressive victories over the Faroe Islands and Lithuania, but their opponents also have two wins to their name, the last of which coming against world champions Italy. Kris Boyd already boasts four goals to his international tally, despite only making his Scotland debut in May, and will hope he is given a start in a match the hosts can't afford to lose with the Iikes of Italy and Ukraine also in the group
-
Scotland v Georgia
Scotland v Georgia (Kick-off 3.00pm). All the action from this afternoon's Group B encounter at Hampden Park, where the hosts need a win after losing to Ukraine 2-0 last time out.

-

-
Scotland v Holland
Scotland v Holland (Kick-off 3.00pm). Coverage of the first leg of the Euro 2004 play-off at Hampden Park. Berti Vogts' men would have hoped for an easier draw to secure a place in Portugal but if they can go to Holland for the second leg with a lead, then it's possible they could upset the form book and win the tie. The Dutch have been dogged by allegations of in-fighting recently and it seems Ruud van Nistelrooy won't be starting. However, they still have bags of class with the likes of Patrick Kluivert and Edgar Davids contributing to a recent upturn in form so the Scottish defence will have to be on their toes to keep their side in this crucial game
-
Scotland v Holland
Scotland v Holland (Kick-off 7.30pm). Coverage of both sides' final World Cup Group Nine qualifying match, held at Hampden Park. Scotland beat Macedonia 2-0 on Saturday and need another victory to secure second place in the group and a potential play-off position.

-
Scotland v Hungary
Scotland v Hungary (Kick-off 8.00pm). Berti Vogts' side continue preparations for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers with this friendly match at Hampden Park. The hosts haven't met the Hungarians since 1987, when two goals from Ally McCoist eased them to victory, but sadly for the Scots, a striker of the same calibre isn't at their disposal these days, and they could struggle to find the back of the net once again tonight
-
Scotland v Iceland
Scotland v Iceland (Kick-off 3.00pm). Coverage of the Euro 2004 qualifying Group Five match at Hampden Park. Berti Vogts' Scots are currently in second place behind table toppers Germany, and have already beaten their opponents in an earlier qualifying match in Reykjavik.

-
Scotland v Iceland
Scotland v Iceland (Kick-off 8.00pm). This evening's World Cup Group Nine qualifier comes from Hampden Park in Glasgow, where the Scots are in need of a win following a 3-0 loss to Holland on Saturday. A 2-1 victory over Iceland at the Laugardalsvollur last September was George Burley's first as manager and helped make amends for a 1-0 defeat to Macedonia in their opening fixture. The win in Reykjavik extended Scotland's winning run over Iceland to five matches, and a sixth successive triumph tonight would help to keep them in touch of a play-off place
-
Scotland v Italy
Scotland v Italy (Kick-off 5.30pm). The second of today's World Cup qualifiers comes from Hampden Park, where Scotland manager Walter Smith faces a huge test, as his side welcome Group Five rivals Italy to Glasgow. The Scots are currently fifth out of six teams in the group, but are only three points behind second-placed Norway, so the outcome of this game could prove crucial. The Italians lead the way by a convincing margin, and could even afford to drop points this evening, but manager Marcello Lippi won't allow an under-par performance from his side as they continue to build ahead of next summer's finals
-
Scotland v Italy
Scotland v Italy (Kick-off 5.00pm). Coverage of the all-or-nothing Euro 2008 Group B qualifying match at Hampden Park, where victory for Alex McLeish's men will see them reach next summer's finals.

-
Scotland v Latvia
Scotland v Latvia. Coverage of the Group Six World Cup qualifier at Hampden Park. Despite it being mathematically possible for the Scots to still reach next summer's tournament, Craig Brown and his men are aware there challenge is over and they'll look to bow out here in style with a win. It took a final minute goal back in September last year to clinch a narrow victory over a spirited Latvian team and the home side will have to be on form if they are to claim only their second home win of the competition
-
Scotland v Lithuania
Scotland v Lithuania (Kick-off 4.00pm). First-half coverage of the final Euro 2004 Group Five qualifier at Hampden Park, where the home side know that a win would give them an excellent chance of qualifying for the play-offs. Berti Vogts' side were defeated 2-1 by Germany in their previous encounter, a result that ended Scotland's hopes of automatic qualification, but the visit of the Lithuanians should prove to be an easier contest for the Scots. However, their destiny may not rest in their own hands, as if Iceland come away with all three points from their clash with the Germans this evening, then it will be Logi Olafsson's men who finish in second-place. Coverage continues on Sky Sports Two
-
Scotland v Lithuania

-
Scotland v Macedonia
Scotland v Macedonia (Kick-off 3.00pm). All the action from the World Cup Group Nine qualifier at Hampden Park. Scotland suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Norway in their previous game and failure to win here would all but end their hopes of reaching the finals in South Africa. Macedonia looked to be on the verge of an upset when they took a 2-0 half-time lead against Spain in their last outing, but three second-half goals in the space of five minutes saw them lose 3-2 to remain level on points with the Scots
-
Scotland v Moldova
Scotland v Moldova (Kick-off 3.00pm). All the action from this afternoon's Group Five World Cup qualifier at Hampden Park, where both teams are hoping to secure their first victory of the campaign. The Scots have little chance of qualifying for next year's World Cup, but they do have a game in hand over most of their rivals and haven't given up hope just yet.

-
Scotland v New Zealand
Scotland v New Zealand (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the friendly match at Tynecastle.

-

-
Scotland v Norway
Scotland v Norway (Kick-off 3.00pm). Hampden Park provides the setting for this afternoon's World Cup qualifier, as Scotland make the third appearance of their Group Nine campaign.

Scotland v Sweden
Scotland v Sweden (Kick-off 8.00pm). All the action from this evening's international friendly at Easter Road, a match the Scots will be desperate to win as they try to regain some confidence after a poor start to their World Cup qualification campaign. Some of the home crowd have lost faith in their side over the past few years due to their disappointing run of results, and with a seemingly little amount of young talent coming through the ranks, there isn't much for them to get excited about, but a win against an in-form Swedish side should go some way to cheering them up

USA v England
USA v England (Kick-off 8.05pm). All the action from this evening's friendly encounter at Soldier Field in Chicago, where England begin their controversial tour of the States with a match against Bruce Arena's up-and-coming side. Sven-Goran Eriksson believes tonight's game will be an excellent learning curve ahead of next year's World Cup finals in Germany, for which both sides are expected to qualify. England have won four of their five meetings stateside, but were embarrassed on their last visit, when Graham Taylor's side went down 2-0 thanks to goals from Thomas Dooley and Alexi Lalas. Despite having a number of key players out of the squad, including John Terry, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney, Eriksson won't settle for a similar scoreline, and will expect some of his fringe players to come to the fore and inspire the visitors to victory

Wales v Azerbaijan
Wales v Azerbaijan (Kick-off 3.00pm). This afternoon's match comes from the Millennium Stadium as the Group Four rivals begin their World Cup 2010 qualification campaigns. With Germany and Russia also in this group and vying for a place at the finals, qualification will be extremely tough for the Welsh.

-
Wales v Cyprus
Wales v Cyprus (Kick-off 8.00pm). The Millennium Stadium hosts the second of tonight's live Euro 2008 qualifiers, as John Toshack's men play their third match in Group D.

-
Wales v England
Wales v England (Kick-off 3.00pm). The World Cup qualifiers return to the agenda this afternoon, as John Toshack welcomes Sven-Goran Eriksson's side to the Millennium Stadium for this crucial Group Six match. With Poland not playing until this evening, England have the chance to return to the top of the group, if only for a short period of time, providing they can do the double over the Welsh and collect all three points. David Beckham scored arguably his finest international goal when the sides met at Old Trafford back in October last year, and the skipper will be expected to get on the scoresheet once again, or lay on the goals for Wayne Rooney, who will be without strike-partner Michael Owen because of suspension
-

-

-
Wales v Hungary
Wales v Hungary (Kick-off 8.00pm). All the action from tonight's friendly encounter at the Millennium Stadium, where John Toshack will take charge of Wales for the first time since succeeding Mark Hughes.

Coverage of the Euro 2004 Group Nine qualifying match at the Millennium Stadium, as Mark Hughes's men attempt to pick up three valuable points and hold on to their recent unbeaten record.

-

-
Wales v Liechtenstein
Wales v Liechtenstein (Kick-off 5.30pm). This evening's World Cup qualifier comes from the Millennium Stadium, as John Toshack's men continue their Group Four campaign against the minnows.

-
Wales v Norway

Commentary by Ian Gwyn Hughes and Ian Walsh
-

The Euro 2004 play-off second-leg match at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, where Mark Hughes' men are a possible 90 minutes away from a place in next year's finals. Good performances from John Hartson and Ryan Giggs could prove to be crucial this evening if the home side are to make it through to their first major competition for 45 years. The Welsh will be favourites to come out on top following their heroic draw in Moscow last Saturday, but despite their reputation of being bad travellers, the Russians are more than capable of exposing defences and could cause a few problems for the likes of Andy Melville and Danny Gabbidon. Including National Lottery draws. Subsequent programmes subject to change
-

-
Wales v Slovakia
Wales v Slovakia (Kick-off 3.00pm). This afternoon's Euro 2008 Group D qualifier at the Millennium Stadium, as John Toshack's men target their first win of the campaign.

-
Wales v Slovenia
Wales v Slovenia (Kick-off 7.45pm). All the action from tonight's friendly at Swansea City's new White Rock Stadium, where John Toshack's side warm-up for their World Cup qualifier against England next month.

-
Wales v Ukraine
Wales v Ukraine (Kick-off 7.30pm). Oliver Hides introduces coverage of the Group Five World Cup qualifier at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.
