You couldn't make it up, apparently the Poles refused to close the roof even with rain forecast. They should forfeit the match...
It's a joke, no groundsmen attempting to fork the pitch, no water hog machines. It's abysmal! Why are they still not closing it!

You have to blame FIFA too, it should be out of the teams hands if the conditions will force a postponement.
Missed that, match should be given to England by default as all this was done on purpose to create a really **** playing surface.
If Jamie Mackie comes on the Belgium v Scotland match might get a bit better - channel 951 on Sky, 960 on Freesat or 862 on Virgin.
Meanwhile over on BBC1 Scotland... Nice attempt by Mackie on goal Just discovered the game is also on ESPN
That was probably more entertaining than if they'd actually played. Now to Mr Mackie on ESPN (m'kay).
Congratulations Norway! Are you not chucking back the akavit like its Christmas Eve and New Years Eve in 1 ? I've actually seen quality and promise from young Norwegians the last few days. The U21's even have a Keeper!
I found it was like watching a slo mo car crash, I couldnt look away. As a bonus I can now watch the sweaties get beat by the Belgians.
Cheers mate Watching the young guns tear a very highly rated France U21 apart 5-3 and pipping them to qualify was great, especially as the football on show was 'modern' and very easy on the eye. And then the national side win away (even though it was Cyprus) later on, after the draw against the swiss away on friday the qualification is up and running now. There IS hope
