Leo Beenhakker Remains Poland’s Manager.

July 3rd, 2008 | By: tomasz | 3 Comments »

Leo Beenhakker met today with Polish FA officials in order to discuss our performance during Euro 2008. Not surprisingly, he’ll remain our manager, even though most of the ‘outdated’ officials wanted his head. The same can’t be said about Leo’s assistants.

Polish Invasion On France. Dudka In Auxerre, Smolarek May Go To Toulouse.

June 26th, 2008 | By: tomasz | 3 Comments »

First big Polish transfer took place today; Wisla Krakow sold Dariusz Dudka to Auxerre for a reported fee of 2,5 M. Good bussiness for both clubs as Wisla made a lot of money and Auxerre received a young, but at the same time experienced player. Ebi Smolarek, on the other hand, is very close to [...]

Artur Boruc: Our President’s Behaviour Was Pathetic.

June 25th, 2008 | By: tomasz | 3 Comments »

Remember the note I published under a title “Polish President Doesn’t Know His Football”? If not, you can watch a film there where Polish president, Lech Kaczynski, changes the names of our best players, Roger Guerreiro and Artur Boruc, to Roger Perreiro and Artur Borubar in an interview after the game against Austria. We didn’t [...]

At last we learn the truth about not including Kuba Blaszczykowski in our Euro selection. First we were told that Kuba got injured in a training session. Later, when we knew that there was no fresh injury, journalists speculated about his conflict with Leo Beenhakker. Kuba finally decided to break the silence and explained that [...]

Time To Freshen Up The Squad. Part Two.

June 22nd, 2008 | By: tomasz | 7 Comments »

After part one of talent search comes part two. Here’s another group of players that may enhance the Polish national team in the future. I’m not a professional scout so I can’t really guarantee that all of them are international level material, but the only way to check it is to give them a chance. [...]

Time To Freshen Up The Squad. Part One.

June 21st, 2008 | By: tomasz | 6 Comments »

“Let’s get rid of everybody except Boruc and Roger” most fans seem to be shouting after our weak performance in Euro 2008. Yeah, easy to say, harder to do. However, I agree that Polish team requires some new faces; new leaders ought to be found. Young players must be introduced before Euro 2012. That’s why [...]

What I love about football is that even after the most severe loss you’ve got next games to look up for. Let us, then, forget about the depressing Euro Champs and think about the future.
