Live Betting: Ukraine v. England

England head into their 2014 World Cup qualifier at Kiev's Lobanovsky Dynamo Stadium tonight knowing that despite all their hard work to this point, defeat to Ukraine will endanger their hopes of automatic qualification. It would leave them facing the possibility of a playoff or even failure to qualify altogether.

Ukraine captain Anatoliy Tymoshchuk threw out the challenge ahead of tonight's crucial match by criticizing England star players. The Zenit St Petersburg midfielder said that although Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney have all enjoyed club success, they will never be successful for England because they can't play as a team.

England sits atop the six-nation Group H with 15 points from seven games, ahead of Ukraine who have 14 points from seven games. Both teams are also wary of a challenge from the group's surprise country, Montenegro, who have 14 points from eight teams and remain in the hunt for top spot.
