Flashback: 1974
History: That’s what’s great about momentous occasions like the World Cup…In this entry, a flashback to World Cup 1974.
Highlights (Yeah, Right) of World Cup 2002
While searching for entertainment for seven-month-old Zsuzsa and myself last daddy-daughter day, i happened upon my “Official Review of the 2002 FIFA World Cup” DVD. Naturally, i was most interested in the highlights the DVD might offer Team Polska fans…
POL-SKA! POL-SKA! or, Cheers and Chants of Poland fans
Recently, this blog received an email which asked, “What do Polish fans chant in the stands to show support for the team?” and “What do they shout after they score a goal?” Some answers herein.
Wisla Krakow 2-1: Poland a Bit Less Obscure
The greatest advantage Team Poland has going into this World Cup may very well be its relative obscurity. However, with the waves some of the potential roster are making, Poland assuredly will not remain the X-factor of Group A for long.

Translating Janas
German football website www.dw-world.de recently ran an interview with Coach Pawel Janas.

It’s a phenomenon repeated each time Team Poland plays on an international stage, for not only is Zibi now the voice of football in Poland, but also the country’s link to past glory.

West Bromwich Albion’s goalkeeper and at the same time one of four candidates of being Poland goalkeeper no. 1 in Germany, Tomasz Kuszczak has bruised his collarbone during last WBA’s 1-6 defeated game at Fulham.
