WARSAW — Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney believe England will still qualify for the World Cup despite Wednesday's 1-1 draw in Poland but admitted the performance in Warsaw was far from perfect.

Both teams had their preparations thrown into chaos when the 2014 qualifier was postponed on Tuesday because of a waterlogged pitch and re-arranged for Wednesday.

However, Poland coped with the conditions far better as they came from behind to earn a point in a tie they were unfortunate not to win.
