match thread Błaszczykowski is out for Poland . Probably their best player.. And yes I had to copy and paste that name before anyone asks .
How do you think we will play? --------------Hart------------- Johnson-Cahill-Jagielka-Cole --------Carrick-Gerrard------- Milner-----------------------Ox ---------------Rooney--------- ----Defoe/Welbeck/Carroll----- Johnson for Waler - Walker didn't really do much to show he should be in their ahead of Glen. Didn't take on his man a few miscontrols under no pressure. Wasn't tested defensivly Cole for Baines - Shame for Baines he's been fantastic but it's pretty obvious Cole's gonna get picked Gerrard for Cleverly - Bit more experience and more of a goal threat, allowing Rooney to play the "nubmer 10" role Defoe/Welbeck/Carroll - Could see any 3 of Defoe/Welbeck/Carroll starting upfront on Tuesday
1 Joe Hart, 2 Glen Johnson, 3 Ashley Cole, 4 Steven Gerrard (C), 5 Phil Jagielka, 6 Joleon Lescott, 7 James Milner, 8 Michael Carrick, 9 Jermain Defoe, 10 Wayne Rooney, 11 Tom Cleverley
Might go ahead but it might be called off because the Poles didn't want the roof closed Looks like they're even more shit than our FA
I think the rules are that both countries have to agree to play the game with the roof on. Maybe that wasn't brought up until it was too late? All a bit ridiculous.
From the Guardian: "Roy Hodgson wading out into one of the penalty areas," tweets our man at National Stadium. "He just kicked a ball along the ground as hard as he could. It went about four yards."
I think we wanted it shut but the Poles didn't for their own reasons. As they're saying on the telly, you'd have thought UEFA or FIFA would have made a decision in the event of a disagreement.
