England and Kazakhstan World Cup Battle at Wembley

England fans hoping for an appearance from Borat will be disappointed to find that he is highly likely to be a no-show on Saturday evening. They can console themselves however, with the fact that they are more than likely to witness an England victory, and with this Kazakhstan team being one of the lowliest ranked of all the UEFA sides, you would expect England to put a fair few goals past their opponents in the process. I can see nothing but an England win here, but at odds of 1/14 they are nowhere near to being a backable price.It is amazing what one decent England performance can do, on the morning of the Croatia match the tabloids were decrying the state of English football. The morning after the 4-1 defeat of Slaven Bilic's side in Zagreb, they were hailing a new era and two new heroes in Fabio Capello and Theo Walcott. It just goes to show the fickle nature of both the English press and England football fans, and you can be sure that if England fail to win impressively on Saturday then they will just as quickly turn on the players and manager once more.In fact, Fabio Capello was put in the farcical position this week of having to ask the England fans not to boo their own players in order to turn Wembley into a 'fortress'. Just as well that confidence in the camp is high after their victory last time out then, as a confident performance against their part-time opponents is precisely what is required from Capello's men. Despite the inevitable spotlight he will find himself under, it is not the latest great hope, Walcott who needs to perform, but the seasoned internationals, and long-time under achievers, like Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney who need to produce their best. The former two are under extra pressure given the scrutiny over the plausibility of their midfield partnership, and though they will be facing better opposition than this in the near future, they need to set down a marker in this match.England's superior quality will be reflected in the final scoreline come Saturday night, but it is possible that the pressure could get to them and they might struggle to get into a rhythm early on. You can be sure that the Kazakhstan side will get ten men behind the ball whenever they aren't in possession in an effort to frustrate the English, and at a price of 6/1 you could do a lot worse than invest your money in Half Time Draw/ Full Time England. I also like the look of Wayne Rooney to hit the back of the net at 5/6, he has been in lethal form for his club and played a blinder the last time he pulled on an England shirt.Recommendations:Half Time Draw/ Full Time England - 6/1 (William Hill)Wayne Rooney Anytime Goalscorer - 5/6 (Stan James/Skybet)
