Despite the poor opposition it was a welcome sight to see Poland play with this type of (sledge hammer to a flea) mentality.As Wejher said, maybe they did have a word with Adamek.

Go Polska

Viva la Polska! ^^^^ yes, good to see Ebi Smolarek again!!!! Actually I didn’t see anything yet, but followed the tally as I worked. Nice list of goal scorers – cheers to them all! Cheers to the team! that includes Leo! I just watched a few goal highlights and see Ebi had an assist too. Even my Man U friend from England and Wales, acknowledged “Poland get ten!” before I told him, when he usually just ‘puts-up’ hearing about Poland from me.

Just the result Poland needed. This group is so close its crazy, I really think Poland should aim to finish top though.

I’m very happy for Ebi, and for the team, a good thing before a 5 months break.

We are now in quite a good position, given that we still are to play N. Ireland at home and Slovakia, too. So if we win everything (we must believe it if we don’t want to give up already), it’s enough that Slovakia lose 2 pts. I’d say, some 50% chance we go to RSA if we do our share in the qualifiers properly.

Hopefully all the cock ups are out of our system now. This is the boost of confidence the team needs. I think we can win all of the matches left if we use this set up again. I loved how krzynowek was set up worked great. Smolarek showed his amazing technical skills and he will give Orbaniak a good run for his money on the LW position. Jelen showed potential just missed simple shots. Lewy was great 3 assists but i wish he could of finished some of the those chances. Bright side is that he was always attacking and causing chaos just needed to finish. M. Lewy was also good today nice goal and nice header that bounced of the bar. Sagan is our super sub. Roger just didnt have it today, but some nice passes though.

Northern Ireland don’t frighten me. They only have three games left to play. Slovakia scare me a little because they’ve only played five times to Poland’s six. Hopefully Poland can win the group outright, because I’m not sure a playoff will work in their favor.

Good job Polska, 10-0, perfect, I was hoping for a double digit result. Just too bad the Slovakians scored late in the game to win against the Czechs, and also too bad the Slovenians lost 1-0 to the Northern Irish. Now the NI team and fans are thinking they will qualify for the WC, which may be a good thing, as they might come to Szczecin in the fall feeling overconfident.
Keep up the awesome work on the blog!

Beenhaker needs sacking we should have won 64-0. Kidding. Amazing result, maybe Adamek did have a word in their ears. Smolarek was on fire much more effective on the left that Krzynowek, but i got to say Jelen was awesome his work rate was unbelievable, chased every ball, used the ball well, I’m glad he got his name on the score sheet. Hope that result scares our opponents into panicking when we attack.

10-0! hahaha, thanks for posting the link for the live feed, I watched the last 20min at work. Probably the most attacking i’ve seen them play for quite a while. This definitely takes a little bit of the sting out of last saturday’s ugly loss. Helps with the Goal Differential as well. Great to see Ebi scoring again, even if it is just San Marno that bicycle kick was amazing. Go Polska
