England vs Poland Betting Choice Analysis
England will go into Wednesday's final World Cup qualifier against Poland at Old Trafford not knowing if the result will affect their World Cup seeding. Poland are two points ahead of England and as both sides are already through, the result may prove meaningless. However, it has been reported that no decision has been taken on whether final group places will affect tournament seeding. In 2002 seedings were decided by teams' records at previous finals and their average place in the Fifa rankings. No matter what the outcome of this scenario, it would be in the best interests of Sven Goran Eriksson that his players go out and win well. Despite securing safe passage through to Germany thanks to Holland beating Czech Republic last Saturday night, the media have continued the critisim of England.It could be argued that some of the negativity is unjustified with the main aim now accomplished. There are also numerous examples over the years of how quality World Cup teams have struggled through their qualification campaign. We need only think back four years when Brazil only just made it through the South American zone, but then went onto win the tournament in style. Of course England are not in the class of the Samba boys, yet something similar cannot be ruled out. Turning our attention to the betting for Wednesday evening, and Wayne Rooney looks an attractive proposition to find the back of the net.The Manchester United striker was ruled out of the Austria game, and is currently serving a Champions League ban after Kim Milton Nielson sent him off. The Danish referee is the appointed referee for Old Trafford. Rooney has said himself that he does not believe this will prove a problem, and wants a final win to secure top place in the group plus score a couple of goals.Given the familiar surroundings and the reduced pressure on the game, don't be surprised if Rooney is true to his word. Take the 6/4 available at bluesq on the teenage striker finding the back of the net at anytime.
