Poland fail to meet Fifa deadline

Poland risked suspension from all competitions and losing the right to co-host Euro 2012 after they missed a Fifa deadline of 1100 BST on Monday.
Fifa had demanded Poland reinstate their Football Association after it was suspended by the country's government and replaced by an administrator.
Fifa said on Monday it had received new information but awaited a full report.
Poland face being handed an automatic 3-0 defeat in their upcoming World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic.
Uefa has threatened to take Euro 2012 away from Poland - co-hosts along with Ukraine - if it fails to reinstate its Football Association.

Poland's arbitration tribunal suspended the FA (PZPN) last week and named an administrator after failing to address corruption issues.
But Fifa and Uefa have refused to recognise the administrator appointed to run the country's FA.
Uefa spokesman William Gaillard said on Friday: "The rules are clear. We offered Euro 2012 to the FA, not the government.
"So if the FA are not in place or suspended then they are not in a position to host the tournament."
Fifa has said it would ignore any correspondence from the newly installed board as the sport's world governing body's statutes forbid government intervention in football affairs.
And Gaillard added: "We are standing firm with Fifa. Our patience has limits and we are very close to the limit.
"If the FA is not reinstated by Monday's deadline then we will have serious discussions about the future of Euro 2012 immediately. We will not wait any longer."

Last week both Poland and Ukraine were given a reprieve after a report criticised their lack of progress in preparing to hold Euro 2012.
"We gave Poland another chance and then there was this coup on Monday. It is very annoying," stated Gaillard.
"We have done everything we can for Poland and Ukraine. We have bent over backwards to help them and this makes us very unhappy."
Poland, who are in the same World Cup qualifying group as Northern Ireland, could be handed automatic 3-0 defeats against Czech Republic and Slovakia.
A Fifa statement said further action would be considered when the executive committee meets in Zurich on 23-24 October, with Uefa's emergency panel scheduled to meet at about the same time.
Poland were threatened with being thrown out of qualifying for Euro 2008 when the PZPN was suspended in January 2007.
