Poland's Euro 2012 drive right on track

WARSAW - While the clock ticks down to the Euro 2012 draw in Ukraine, organizers in fellow host country Poland say they are ready for anything as they wait to learn which qualified nations will play where.

"We're really coming down to the very practical moment," said Marcin Herra, boss of PL.2012, the body supervising 300 interlinked projects for the European Championships, from stadiums to hotels and road and rail networks to airports.

Friday's draw in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev will end months of speculation over who among the 16 qualified teams will play in which of eight cities.
