We move on to much harder test and it will be a tight game with I reckon the big guns all involved
The defence will have to be on their guard to keep a watch on Lewandowzki and will Southgate go three centre halves with the wing back system in operation?
Anyway 2-1 England

Poland have only ever beat us once. And never in England. 74 Qualifier/ They had the brilliantly named Jerzy Gorgon back then, Don't think have ever seen that game. Start of a great Polish side

Start of a great Polish side Think it was in Warsaw in 1977 That game you are referring to finished 1-1 it’s just that people think we lost it because we needed to win the match and didn’t

1 man team, we should be good enough to win comfortably.

They’re rubbish. Anything less than a comprehensive victory would be concerning with the Euros around the corner

I thin was 2-0 to the Poles. Yep the 1-1 is one of those constantly replayed. England scored a pen I think. Way before my time but as england seem to draw Poland so often is constantly talked about. 78 they had a good side also. Quiroga and Lato think it was and Pat Partridge the ref was it? First WC I remember I seemed to get Lato in every Panini sticker pack.

Think Alan Ball got sent off as well🤔. Plus, Polish keeper played well and had heaps of good fortune.

No excuses now, stick that back 3 in the bin Gareth and beat Poland easily like the no marks they are.

Anyway 2-1 England I think a lot of the reason I've almost completely lost interest in England is that far too many games outside of tournament football are completely meaningless so uncompetitive are they. Will be good to watch a game with decent opposition. Hopefully Pope gets to make a save or 3 and makes that position his own.

Lost away, drew at home. Wales also took points off us. Poland then went on to finish 3rd in the tournament proper which shows they were no mugs.
(How often have England finished in the top three?)

I watch it on YouTube sometimes and it gets my pulse racing then I feel all weird because I remember how it ends.

If you have 7 minutes to spare, "England self destruct" against Poland to fail to get to the World Cup:

If Lewandowski is out we win 2-0.
If he's fit, 2-1.

Charmed that Lewandowski is out, as he'd have handed Maguire's arse to him on a plate. We should have just enough to win it, but it'll be tight.

Would have to be one of those large platter type plates. England don't have a great CB which will be their undoing but I think he has been the best of a bad bunch the last couple of years or so.
