England v New Zealand; Scotland v Bolivia – Friendly Football on ITV1 & BBC Two

England take on New Zealand in a pre-world cup friendly at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida this evening.

This is the first of two warm-up games for England before their campaign begins on 17th June against Croatia.

Their opponents also qualified for the finals and they begin their tournament two days earlier against Iran. These teams last met back in 1991, when England prevailed 1-0 in Auckland and 2-0 in Wellington.

The match will be shown live on ITV1 from 8.15pm, where Mark Pougatch will be joined in the studio by Roy Keane and Karen Carney.

There will be pitchside reports from Ian Wright and Gabriel Clarke, while Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon provide match commentary.

Kick-off 9.00pm. The match will also be streamed live on ITVX.

Scotland v Bolivia on BBC Two

Over on the other channel, Scotland face Bolivia at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey.

This is Scotland’s final warm-up match before they face Haiti in their opening match of the FIFA World Cup on 13th June in Foxborough.

This contest is likely to serve as a good test, as the Bolivians only missed out on the finals themselves after losing out to Iraq in the play-offs, having finished one place outside the automatic qualifying places in the notoriously difficult CONMEBOL group.

The programme comes on air at 8.30pm on BBC Two with live streaming via the BBC iPlayer.

Kick-off 9.00pm.
