Who Is Leo’s Mystery New Striker (Poll)?

July 28th, 2008 | By: tomasz | 3 Comments »

At last, in today’s Gazeta Wyborcza I read the first decent interview with Leo after our Euro failure. A lot of usual grumbling about the poor state of Polish football and lack of necessary infrastructure (we don’t have a place to train in Warsaw, we’ll have to play in Wroclaw, where there is only 9500 [...]

Our ‘Beloved’ Polish League Starts This Weekend. My Predictions And Ones To Watch.

July 23rd, 2008 | By: tomasz | 4 Comments »

It’s hard to get excited about the Polish league. First of all, we experienced numerous corruption scandals in the last couple of seasons. A lot of clubs were relegated, other unprepared ones were promoted. The level of the league, as proven by European competition, is also quite low. However, it still remains the only place [...]

Our U-19 Team Is From Abroad.

July 22nd, 2008 | By: tomasz | 8 Comments »

One interesting thing I observed when checking last call ups to the U-19 squad. It turns out that 9 out of 13 players play abroad. The squad, of course, will be later supplemented with guys from Poland, but nevertheless the number of ’stranieri’ is quite impressive.

After an average game Wisla Krakow drew with FC Liverpool 1:1. Wisla played with their strongest possible squad and did quite well in the first half. Unfortunately, the second half was much worse as the Reds decided to employ a more determined pressing.

Uefa Cup Latest: Khazar Lenkoran-Lech Poznan 0:1, Legia Warsaw-Gomel 0:0.

July 17th, 2008 | By: tomasz | 9 Comments »

At first, I’d like to state that I’m not watching Polish clubs in European competition because it gives me pleasure. On contrary, it is a very painful experience. So why the hell do I care to devote my time to our ’stars’ competing with mighty teams from Azerbaijan or Belarus? It’s because I want to [...]

Toulouse Loses Patience With Smolarek. Plus A Poll Regarding Ebi’s Situation.

July 16th, 2008 | By: tomasz | 4 Comments »

As expected, Toulouse couldn’t wait any longer and officially resigned from acquaring Ebi Smolarek from Racing Santander. The Polish striker is very reluctant to leave Primera Division and didn’t want to move to a inferior club. As a result, Toulouse will have to spend the money they got for Johan Elmander elsewhere. What does it [...]
