Glenn Hoddle: 'England will beat Poland'

Former England manager Glenn Hoddle is convinced that the Three Lions will confirm their World Cup qualification by beating Poland on Tuesday.

Roy Hodgson's side defeated Montenegro 4-1 on Friday, and Hoddle believes that they will complete the group stage with victory over Poland at Wembley.

"I can't see anything but an England win at Wembley — as long as they pick up where they left off," Hoddle told the Daily Mail.

"If we had scraped through 1-0, we would have got the points but people would wonder how we were going to play against Poland or fare in Brazil. But it was such a buoyant performance [against Montenegro] it will lift everyone.

"England are on a high but, by contrast, Poland's morale will be fragile after being beaten 1-0 by Ukraine and seeing their World Cup hopes disappear."

Meanwhile, the Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson has responded to critics by insisting that they talk a "complete load of rubbish".
