Part 1 England’s chances of winning will improve significantly if the threat of Robert Lewandowski is nullified. The Pole has established himself as one of Europe’s most feared centre forwards in recent seasons. At 6ft and with the spring of an NBA star, his aerial prowess is clear. But with the ball at his feet, Lewandowski is just as dangerous. He is rated Poland’s Plan A, B and C all rolled into one. That was crystal clear in their narrow 1-0 defeat in Ukraine on Friday night. The world is expected to see the Poles trying to get the ball to Lewandowski, playing as a lone striker, as quickly as possible. The Borussia Dortmund man’s strength and technique mean he is adept at keeping possession, allowing runners to break from midfield and join in attacking areas. His pace will also worry England’s back four, particularly when Poland have the chance to counter. So, it’s important England’s defensive unit stop the supply line to the 25- year-old, particularly from wide areas. Question: Do you see Robert Lewandowski denting Englands hope of securing a 2014 world cup ticket?
