England v Poland 1973 , has come round again , with England requiring a win to qualify , although a safety net with play offs is now available.
Hope Bob and Terry have better luck avoiding the result , this time . Perhaps the likely lads see the result in Arkwright's superstore while shopping all hours ! |  |

bwildered - I watched the game on TV last night but 40 years ago almost to the day I was at Wembley for the 1-1 draw.
ITV showed about 2 minutes of highlights from the October 1973 game which brought the nightmare back in glorious technicolour!
100,000 present and certainly nowhere near 25,000 Poles. I would imagine if there were 250 it was a lot. Very different political situation in those days of course.
England were good value for the win last night. Rio is on for summer 2014.

Didn't think you would have been old enough Durham; was it a school trip? 
And hopefully not Rio Ferdinand to Rio. |  | | |

Watched it live on ITV with the rest of the nation in 1973 , did enough to deserve a result last night unlike the U's the previous weekend .Unsually entertaining , which is most unlike international games these days .
How about a sporting claim to fame / I was there category Durham,
Postscript - With 40 years of hurt , Bob and Terry where more likely to have been avoiding the Bake Off semi final result !! | |

Hahaha - that's what we want to see, two old codgers playing the age card 
Despite the tension of the situation, I thoroughly enjoyed the game last night - England definitely good value for the win, but that Lewandowski is a handy chap isn't he... |  |

Not a school trip Gerry, but I was in the sixth form at the time.
I applied for my ticket through the FA and was delighted when it arrived in the post.
I lived in London then and so went on the bus and tube to the match.
Sadly not the right result but England were good value on Tuesday night this time around!
