I read lately an article on the Dutch Blog on how many young talents they possess. Polish football, on the other hand, is not known for wunderkids spread around Europe. That’s why we’re so thrilled with Michal Janota, a guy who at 18 already scores for the Feyenoord senior team.

Leo Beenhakker will announce Poland’s squad for games against the Czechs and Slovaks next week. The biggest question is whether Artur Boruc returns. Should Lukasz Fabianski be benched after two very good games? Is Boruc mentally ready for the national team?

Ebi Smolarek can’t find his form from Euro 2008 qualifiers. He posed no threat whatsoever in his debut game for Bolton Wanderers. The Premiership, at least in the first match, proved too fast and competetive for him. The other Polish highlight of the weekend was Tomasz Kuszczak’s involvement in Super Sunday game against Chelsea. He [...]

I know it’s a couple of days old, but better late than never. Have a look at Jerzy Dudek making fun of Javier Saviola who wasn’t aware that there were no substitutions left for Real and prepared to enter the field. Can’t the guy count to three?

This weekend the most important event in Polish football was the game between Wisla Krakow and Lech Poznan, in which almost a half of Bialo Czerwoni squad took part. Lech won 4-1 after a great game and a brace by Robert Lewandowski. The 20 year old striker can now officially be called the biggest talent [...]

So, we’re through with two World Cup qualifying games. We played horrible, but managed to earn four points nevertheless. We’re still in the competition. The two October games against Czech Rep (home) and Slovakia (away) will be the moment of truth for Leo Beenhakker and his team. What are the possible scenarios?

Apparently Polish players don’t read this blog (after all, most of them don’t speak English) as they didn’t listen to my plea voiced in the last note. This game was a very harmful experience. Who would have thought that a goalkeeper can be your best player in a game against San Marino. Everything is possible [...]

I hate these kind of games because you can’t gain anything from them. First of all, this is a match that we really MUST win, San Marino is the weakest team in Europe. Secondly, in order not to be criticised we must win by a large margin. Thirdly, if we don’t score in the first [...]

As expected, Artur Wichniarek announced his retirement from the national team for as long as Leo Beenhakker remains the manager. This only added to the bad press that our team is receiving at the moment. Did Wichniarek have the right to do it? Could he be considered a potential saviour of the national team?

This game was to be a start of a new era of the Polish national team. This game was to turn the tables after disappointing Euro performance, loss against Ukraine and drinking problems inside the team. This game was to install new faith in the team and Leo Beenhakker. None of that happened as Poland [...]
