Vucinic planning England upset

Mirko Vucinic will not be able to resist repeating his cheeky celebration if he scores the winner for Montenegro against England on Tuesday.

The Roma striker scored the only goal in his country's 1-0 Euro 2012 qualifying win against Switzerland on Friday and marked the occasion by taking off his shorts and putting them on his head.

Vucinic is now confident that Montenegro can upset the odds at Wembley, which would maintain a 100 per cent record in the current qualifying campaign and open a six-point lead over England, and he is already planning his celebration.

The 27-year-old forward said in the Daily Star: "What we have achieved in the group so far is incredible.

"After the draw was made, nobody would believe we could arrive at Wembley with nine points.

"I was not being disrespectful with the way I celebrated against Switzerland. Every player has his own style.

"But we believe that we can beat England and that would be a stunning result all over Europe.

"If I score the winning goal, I will not be able to resist producing the same goal celebration.

"This is an historic game in our country with the biggest TV audience ever.

"But with the way we have started, I think we can win the game. If so, we will then be in control of the qualifying campaign and England will be scrabbling around for points.

"England are massive favourites but we are super confident that we can win. We are a young side with a lot of ambition and we are not troubled by failure.

"That is what the England team have to deal with. The whole of Montenegro will go mad if we win the game."
