England's Frank Lampard ready for Poland test

Frank Lampard insists that he and his England teammates are prepared for their final World Cup qualifier against Poland on Tuesday.

England midfielder Frank Lampard has insisted that he and his teammates are ready to take on Poland on Tuesday and book their place in the 2014 World Cup finals.

The Three Lions will progress to Brazil automatically if they beat the Poles in their final Group H qualifier at Wembley.

"It is a huge game, for me, for everyone," the Daily Mail quotes him as saying. "There is a lot of desire within this squad to be in Brazil.

"An England team not being there is a bad thought - I think that is pushing us all on. When we played there in the summer, you could feel the magic around the place.

"We believe we are the home of football, but if you look at Brazil's history, at the flamboyance of the game and the people, it can also be called a home of football. If you are playing for your country, you want to be there."

England are currently at the top of Group H with 19 points from nine matches.
