Poland held on to inflict the Republic of Ireland's first defeat under Giovanni Trapattoni after a five-goal thriller at Croke Park.

Giovanni Trapattoni will make two changes to the side that beat Cyprus 1-0 in the World Cup qualifier last month.

Poland's Grzegorz Lato believes Germany could co-host Euro 2012 if the Ukraine pulled out.

Ukraine's co-hosting of Euro 2012 has been thrown into jeopardy by construction problems.

Czech Republic climbed back into contention for qualification, while Slovakia defeated Poland.
