THE MADNESS IN WARSAW COULD BE TO ENGLAND'S BENEFIT

YESTERDAY they wouldn't shut the roof over the National Stadium in Waraw - even though it lashed it down with rain.
Today, they won't open the roof to help dry out the pitch - even though the sun is shining!
This is one crazy place with some inverted ideas on life.
I am told by a Polish friend that the madness in Warsaw has always been intended to help the Polish team beat England.
That by keeping the roof open the authorities hoped it would see England's players slipping and sliding around on the pitch.
And that now, by keeping it shut, it will also be to the Poles' advantage as the pitch will again not be in as good a condition as could have been expected if it had dried out more fully.
Despite all that, I am predicting that the crazy decisions will rebound on the Poles - and that THEY will suffer most because the postponement will dilute the massively partisan support they could have expected. many of those fans will now miss the game because of work commitments.
I had thought it would be a 2-2 draw but now reckon Roy Hodgson's men could pull off a 3-1 win.
