They are going to dry the pitch with underfloor heating and the roof closed. Imagine the humidity in there. Idiots.

Very high tech pitch inspection we have here

Chief Commentator!
According to the Polish official, they expected Heavy rain but didnt know there would be a down pour. Now I know English isnt her first language but dont these two usually result in the same thing? Then she goes on to say it takes 30 minutes for heating to remove water when roof closed roof but that cannot be closed until it stops raining, which it doesnt like its stopping anytime soon and even then it takes 20 minutes to close!
Now the ref is assessing a worse situation than he did earlier and still has to do the 'does the ball bounce or roll' test

Yep. And they can't shut the roof. Haha. What a joke. If its called off England should be awarded the points as this was within the Polish FA's control.

I don't know if it's more frustrating waiting for it to get sorted or waiting for Adrian Chiles to explode with more hilarious material

Surely if they flatly refuse to play, they're forfeiting the match? Therefore the points would surely be awarded to England on a bye? It's a simple choice surely. If it can't be played today, play it tomorrow. If Poland refuse to do that, then they should be forced to forfeit? I don't suppose this kind of situation is covered in the rules because it doesn't happen very often.
Edit: The rule as posted on the BBC news feed:
"Some relevant smallprint for you:
The Regulations Article 19.7 says that if game cannot be played, the game can be arranged for the next day. If that is still not possible, the game could even be played the day after if both associations agree.
If the match can't be played on third day, expenses incurred by the visiting association [in this case England] shall be split between the two associations.
The Fifa Organising Committee would then take any other necessary decisions regarding a replay."

Would it have hurt for one of the England players to nip out and clap the fans now it's been called off, shit gesture but better than walking off to there fancy plane with headphones on.
would have took 5 minutes

I agree. They deserve it for sticking in there in these circumstances.
