Poland-Canada 1:0. Maciej Rybus Makes A Name For Himself.

November 19th, 2009 | By: tomasz | 10 Comments »

So, that’s what a victory tastes like. After five games without a win and four without a goal the Bialo Czerwoni finally managed to defeat their opponents, though we had to wait for a game against the mighty Canada for them to do that. Mind you, what I find more important is that two 20 [...]

Poland-Canada Preview. Time To End The Goal Drought.

November 18th, 2009 | By: tomasz | 19 Comments »

Poland will have to compete against Canada without the injured Kuba Blaszczykowski and Ireneusz Jelen. The game is a perfect occasion to finally score a goal, the first in five games. Franz Smuda is also going to use it to test players who are, at the moment, considered backups for the starters in the national [...]

Poland-Romania 0:1. Franz Smuda Has Got A Lot Of Work To Do.

November 16th, 2009 | By: tomasz | 10 Comments »

“Things that start badly end well” said Franz Smuda after his team’s loss in the game against Romania. I hope that our new coach is some kind of prophet because otherwise it’s hard to remain optimistic after the Saturday’s game. Poland lost for the fourth time in a row, each time failing to score even [...]

November 9th, 2009 | By: tomasz | 35 Comments »

…at least according to Franz Smuda. The new Polish national coach visited Bremen at the weekend to talk to Boenish’s parents and the player himself. Smuda was very positive after both meetings and remains optimistic about Werder’s defender involvement in the Bialo Czerwoni team. Boenish himself, however, remains a bit more distanced.

November 2nd, 2009 | By: tomasz | 44 Comments »

Franz Smuda called up his first ever squad as the coach of the Polish national team. There were a few surprises such as the absence of Shakhtar’s Mariusz Lewandowski and the inclusion of the long time no seen Kamil Kosowski or less than impressive Janusz Gancarczyk. Smuda claims that the door is not closed for [...]

Squad Watch: Week 8. Wisla Krakow Stumble For The First Time In The Ekstraklasa.

October 19th, 2009 | By: tomasz | 44 Comments »

It can be said that the Ekstraklasa season was saved on Sunday. If it wasn’t for the Lech’s victory against Wisla the reigning champions would be the sole leaders at the top of the table. Thanks to Robert Lewandowski’s strike, however, the season is still open with Legia and Lech having a chance to catch [...]

“Kill The Referee” By Yves Hinant. Guess Who’s The Main Hero.

October 17th, 2009 | By: tomasz | 6 Comments »

A long time ago I wrote that the name Howard Webb won’t make it into this blog anymore. However, I think that the last year’s emotions are already gone and that the occassion is good to draw your attention to a particular film. “Kill The Referee” is a documentary about the referees flmed during the [...]

Poland-Slovakia 0:1. Dancing On Ice.

October 15th, 2009 | By: tomasz | 24 Comments »

An empty Stadion Slaski was a witness of the Bialo Czerwoni’s last World Cup qualifying game. We lost to Slovakia 0-1 due to Seweryn Gancarczyk’s own goal, an “effort” that best summarizes our campaign. Just as in Bratislava and Belfast it was our own player that cost us points in the game. No we’re in [...]
