First of all, they played like they were allergic to the ball. They seemed incapable of making simple passes. Every time there was a fast break opportunity, there we saw another dumbass pass. Instead of moving up the field with lead passes and through balls, the ball was always delivered in the opposite direction a player was expecting the pass. It is as if they were deliberately passing to the wrong spots.

Jelen wasn’t able to do anything because the midfield play was garbage. How is he supposed to score goals without the ball? After making countless runs toward the opposing net and never receiving the ball in a proper place it is easy to assume that anyone would get discouraged.

With the state of Polish football, why not focus on the younger players. Players over 30 should not even be on the team for a friendly. We rely on the likes of Krzynowek, and even Lewandowski, to start but I’m not sure if anyone has noticed that he is well passed his prime. He looks out of place and out of breath most of the time. We don’t need players like him making rookie mistakes, leave that to the younger players who can learn from those mistakes and get better. Those geezers are like a cancer to the youth who poison their minds to turn them into reflections of themselves. This cycle must stop.

Yeah! Krzynowek helped us hold Ukraine to just one goal. Give this clown a gold medal. I’m sorry but this should not be acceptable. It would be a different matter if he offered something positive to the team. At this point, I don’t care what he has done for our national team mainly because it was not significant anyway.

Finally, the whole team looked very disinterested throughout the game. I know it was only a friendly, but have some pride and dignity when you put on that jersey.

I know I mentioned some rhetorical questions already, but why does it seem like no one on the squad can play a full 90 minutes? Their endurance and physical fitness level is laughable. Smolarek and other attackers are too weak to hold off defenders and force things to happen. Our defence seems too slow to react and too slow to keep up with opposing attackers. If you don’t have the God given talent then what is stopping you from being the fastest or strongest on the pitch? Phrases like “no heart” and “doesn’t work hard enough” get tossed around our national team too often. This lack of fitness is why injuries are a higher than normal occurrence. We hold our fingers crossed that they don’t sneeze and pull a muscle.
