Roy Hodgson: 'We are in danger of Poland blocking England from Rio success'
ENGLAND boss Roy Hodgson has warned that Poland will want to replicate the deeds of 1973 and wreck the Three Lions march towards next summer's World Cup finals.

England v Poland 1973: When Clough's 'clown' stopped England
None of the England team were laughing at the end of a completely one-sided match that saw them take 36 shots to Poland's two, force 26 corners, hit the woodwork twice and have four efforts cleared off the line.

But Tomaszewski has much happier memories.

"I have never watched the game again," he told BBC Sport. "But if you have a game like this, you always remember it in your heart. I can wake up in the middle of the night and remember every minute."

England v Poland: Leighton Baines ready for 'tough' game

Lawro on England: Why the Three Lions' biggest worry against Poland is themselves
Yes, Poland have their inspirational captain Jakub Blaszczykowski and quality striker Robert Lewandowski.

But where else are they going to hurt you?

The biggest danger for England is England. We did well on Friday night (even if you do take into account that Montenegro are an average side).

But how often have you seen us string together two performances of top quality?

The danger men: How England could get Pole-axed on Tuesday

Roy Hodgson and England ease the weight but memories of 1973 bear down
National team now know their task to keep Wembley off their shoulders and prevent Poland repeating history

England give Poland 10,000 extra tickets for crucial clash
England's hopes of securing qualification for the World Cup in Brazil next summer have been dented by a seemingly short-sighted FA plan to offer Polish fans thousands of extra tickets for Tuesday's crucial match at Wembley.

I would be shocked if England failed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.

But not half as I shocked as I will be if anyone manages to beat Brazil at home next summer.

THAT game at Wembley was a bitter end for Ramsey and his golden boys
There was agony but no ecstasy, vaulting endeavour but no happy landing.

There were chances galore but no celebrations, endless recrimination but no rational explanation.

The last time Poland paid a World Cup visit to Wembley they brought down the curtain on England’s golden age.

spotters from police forces in Poland are going to be on watch at Tube stations and at Wembley Stadium. They will swoop on known hooligans who may have come to cause trouble.

ANY hopes that England will face a demoralised Poland team tomorrow night now they can no longer qualify for the World Cup finals have been swiftly shattered.

Captain Jakub Blaszczykowski and star striker Robert Lewandowski have both made a point of saying they are coming to Wembley to give England a bloody nose. They will be backed by more than 18,000 partisan Poles.

Joachim Löw keen on Swede revenge
"The (German) team has done well and we're happy to qualify, but we definitely have a score to settle against Sweden," said Löw.

Germany [is] unbeaten in their last 31 qualification matches for either a World Cup or European Championships dating back to their 3-0 defeat to the Czech Republic in October 2007.

The headline and exerpt are misleading. Even if England loses to Poland and finishes 2nd place in their group, they can still go the Brazil 2014 by winning a playoff between 2nd place teams.
