reports today say Poland did not close the roof on purpose as they thought the wet conditions would suit them more than England

seems that backfired on them

 

[chrissivad]

They said the same last night.

Both wanted the roof open the other day when it was either not raining or not raining allot.
Then when there was heavy rain and they were asked again England said for it to be closed and Poland wanted it to stay open.

With Poland having matches on Friday it will be interesting to see how their players take it as well.
Thats if they have managed to close the roof and drain the pitch...

They were saying that because of the heavy wind and not because of the rain they couldn't close it and they also said the water on the pitch would evaporate once the roof is closed due to the underpitch heating within 30 minutes of the roof closing hence them waiting for the wind to slow down yesterday

The roof is closed and apparently it's been sunny all day in Warsaw.

Typical England performance so far

We are playing so shit.

What do you expect? We are shit (and have been for a long time).

I'm going to have to crack open a few beers in order to make this watchable.

1-0 Rooney.

They have been the better team from the little i have seen

 

[mpickard2087]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal.

 

[LSUY]

The way Rooney's being playing so far that was the only way he was going to score today.

 

[nightgoat]

When will Hodgson realise how poor Glen Johnson is?

 

[L-man]

Anyone get on the William Hill Priority Pricing, 5/1 England to win and Rooney to score anytime? Looking good for it

 

[DuDe]

Hopefully the 2nd half will not be the 'bag of shite' we've come to expect from Engerpoo.

 

[DuDe]

Poland could have have scored there.

Lewandowski is a class act
