Watch live Uruguay vs Costa Rica

Tabarez's side claimed a 1-0 advantage over the Ticos in the first leg of their play-off in San Jose on Saturday, meaning they are heavy favourites to progress on home soil at the Estadio Centenario. The Uruguay boss is wary of complacency from his players, however, and demanded they go for the win. ''We must try to win the game because it is the only way to secure the final goal. This tie is not finished yet,'' said Tabarez. ''We are close, but not in the World Cup yet. The worst thing wo...

Watch France vs Ireland live streaming

Giovanni Trapattoni is confident his Republic of Ireland players will not allow their anger to boil over as they attempt to dump France out of the World Cup. There were a series of furious confrontations on the pitch at Croke Park on Saturday night as Ireland slipped to a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of their play-off encounter. The bust-ups were sparked by Lassana Diarra's comments to Keith Andrews - which he has since denied making - suggesting that the Republic's dream was at an end. ...

Watch online Italy vs Sweden on pc

Italy couldn’t beat Netherlands at home last weekend after missing a couple of very good chances to score and they will try to make things right in this match.

Italy don’t look like the World Cup winners at the moment

Watch Slovenia vs Russia online streaming

Russia coach Guus Hiddink has called for calm ahead of the second leg of his side's World Cup play-off against Slovenia. Russia take a slender one-goal advantage to Maribor, having conceded a late away goal to Matjaz Kek's side at the Luzhniki Stadium on Saturday. Diniar Bilyaletdinov's brace looked to have handed the Russians a commanding 2-0 first-leg advantage, but substitute Nejc Pecnik's header has given Slovenia hope. And it has dampened the mood amongst a Russian support notoriou...

Ukraine’s home record in World Cup qualifying was extremely impressive and it is something Greece should be concerned with.

It has been a hugely successful period for the Iberian...
