This weekend’s football betting and a 25 pounds free bet from 888.com

Ah England my England - they're up one minute, down the next. Kazakhstan, however, shouldn't provide too much of a hurdle, should they? After disposing of the mighty Croatia, England are due to be taken down a peg or two. That's how it works. So I'm looking at 888.com's offer of 2/1 against there being less than 2.5 goals. That's tempting - with England's scoring record generally being pretty poor against these lowly sides, 2/1 is excellent.

Alternatively, that's 2-0 at 11/2.

Argentina badly badly need a win at home to Uruguay after some poor form over recent months (barring the Olympics), and can get themselves back on track with a win there. However, the form team at the moment is Paraguay, and they are 2/1 to come out of Colombia with something. That's great value. Ecuador are starting to look like a decent outfit - very strong in the middle - and they are EVENS at home to beat hapless Chile. I'll be taking those odds.

In the cricket, Australia have started off well against India in Bangalore, and this looks like a pretty dead pitch which so far has offered little to the spinners. The Aussie seamers might enjoy it a little more when they get out there against India's Dad's Army, so 13/8 against is not bad.

But above all, these international weekends are for one thing - keeping the missus happy. Remind her that you're sacrificing a weekend's football to be with her and you've got brownie points for the rest of the month. Just get your money on now with 888.com and you'll get a free £25 bet to kick things off.
