On the day of the Colombia friendly
All right, Team Poland is figuratively set in concrete now. There’s no Dude(k), so the media can get over it finally and the squad is ready to go.
Ebi “The Hash Bomber” Smolarek, one to watch come Cup time and another so-called “surprise” cap-bearer, is listed as “doubtful” for the game with a case of food poisoning cited.
(Incidentally, with a track record like Coach Janas’, why is so much shit being talked about his decision making?)
Ebi may not currently be in an enviable position (slumped over, i imagine), but better now than, say, in two weeks when such a case might be the most famous in sports since some Sacramento Kings fan poisoned Kobe Bryant’s room-service burger during the 2002 NBA playoffs. No doubt he’ll be taking some mild analgesic for that illin’…
The competition tonight in Chorzow is Colombia, FIFA’s #27 ranked squad (the Bialo-czerwoni are at #29), who missed Cup qualification for the second straight time despite a squad thought to be better than at least Paraguay’s due to lackluster play and, as in 2001 qualifiers, lost out on fifth position in South America and the right to play the Aussies for slot #32 in the tournament.

I am feeling better and better about my chances at tasting that Unicum.

But just in case, I have a nice bottle of Canadian Ice Wine set aside for you.




Ebi Smolarek is a very underrated player in the Polish team, which is suprising considering his club exploits.
I agree he is likely to be pivitol to Polska’s world cup hopes. I wish him luck.
p.s If your wondering about the name yes I am related to him.

[...] Okay, no trash talking, no predictions, no whinging…just a little straight blogging reportage on the day of the Croatia friendly. After all, this isn’t mighty Lithuania or that Colombia squad with that goal-scoring machine known as Luis Martinez. This is Croatia, an honest-to-Puskas Cup contender which isn’t about to let up on lackluster uninspired play. Hell, they won’t need to, as evidenced by the Colombia “match.” Plus, i’ve got a bet on this one with “Kaiser” Soze. I’ve got a sick feeling he’s about to earn a nice bottle of that uniquely Hungarian herb liqueur, Unicum. I’m not generally superstitious, but i am starting to belief in the jinx. [...]
