I think the Poles will set up not to get beat in Glasgow. They will probably be thinking the Germans will beat us.
Two draws for Poland will assure them an automatic place if we lose to Germany.

someone asked about players carrying yellow cards, can't find the post
from the preview on uefa.com: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/qualifi...und/index.html

Seamus Coleman, James McCarthy, Jon Walters and Marc Wilson will incur a ban with their next yellow cards.

The German must have be quacking in the jackboots when they saw our squad.

The will no doubt be employing the Siegfried line defence with a sweeper.

**RiffRaff** · 05/10/2015, 5:05 PM

I would have thought McShane's experience would make him a better option than either Christie or Keogh for either defensive spot

Minensucher (which really means mine searcher as opposed to mein Fuhrer).

If it's a cloudless day, keep an eye out for the hun in the sun.

Marty not too proud to accept a favour from Poland!

Christie a minor doubt also but should be okay

Not the games you want players missing for. Any chance the Germans settle for the draw they need to qualify. I forgot that we were second seeds for this group, certainly haven't played like it!!

Would probably take a Poland win now in Scotland and we therefore have 3rd no matter what.

Ideal would be a draw in both meaning we're guaranteed third going to Poland and can have a right shot at second.

Any poles only one yellow away from suspension.

Łukasz Szukała's next yellow card will incur a suspension.

LUKAS PODOLSKI FALLS FOR INTERNATIONALS FROM

Lukas Podolski falls out for the European Championship qualifiers against Ireland on Thursday (from 20.45 clock, live on RTL) and in Dublin on Sunday (from 20.45 clock, live on RTL) in Leipzig against Georgia. The player of Galatasaray had traveled with a strong swelling on the ankle from Turkey to the team to Frankfurt. By medical department of the DFB team this was diagnosed as a painful irritation capsule on the left ankle, a use of the world champion in the matches against Ireland and Georgia is thus excluded.
Podolski has departed from the team lodging the national team in Frankfurt on Tuesday evening, the further treatment is carried out at his club.
