Robert Lewandowski: Germany won’t swarm all over us now

Three days on from the 76th anniversary of Germany invading Poland, a movement of sorts has occurred in the opposite direction for tonight’s top-of-the-table Group D tie in Frankfurt (7.45pm).

Leading the world champions by a point in the standings, Poland’s quest to remain there heading into the final three ties will be aided by an estimated 10,000 visiting fans inside the Commerzbank-Arena.

Poland’s surge towards reaching France next year has stretched to an unbeaten run of six games and, despite facing their toughest test against their oldest rivals, Robert Lewandowski and his teammates were displaying no signs of inferiority yesterday.
