Ad makes 'roof' jibe during Poland vs. England - picture

Adverts boasting about "a roof that can close in 19 seconds" were on display during England's 1-1 draw with Poland tonight.

The adverts, promoting the new Cascada convertible car, were hastily commissioned overnight after yesterday's World Cup qualifier was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

The Polish FA has come under fire for failing to close the roof at the National Stadium in Warsaw yesterday, despite knowing that a downpour was on the way. Drenched fans were also subjected to lengthy delays in the stadium while officials debated how to handle the situation.

Wayne Rooney's first-half opener was cancelled out by a header from defender Kamil Glik in the rearranged fixture, which finally got underway at 4pm today.
