Video: England v Poland: Roy Hodgson feels the 'tension' ahead of crucial match The Football Association's decision to make 18,000 tickets available to visiting fans has been criticised but while Hodgson believes the backing could lift Poland, he claimed the authorities had little choice. "There are a lot of Polish people living in this country and I understand the FA were virtually forced into this decision to let the Polish FA have the tickets, because otherwise there would be safety problems with the infiltration of Polish fans amongs the England fans," he said. As far as I am concerned, our players are pretty used to playing in games where the opponents have their support as well and I also think the 65,000 or 70,000 (England fans) versus 20,000 is a pretty good margin for us. Speaking ahead of tomorrow's match against Poland, England captain Steven Gerrard said: "We want to seize this opportunity. We want to win. We'll have 90,000, a full house at Wembley. It's a huge game on the back of a huge performance a couple of nights ago, and we're ready to go. England must beat Poland at Wembley to guarantee themselves a place in the World Cup finals next summer in Brazil.
