...but not much else.

In fact our side has only managed the feat once so far with one additional showing granted out of politeness by UEFA for co-hosting the tournament. Both times we had better things to do than flaunting our footy prowess right as the group stage came to a close.

I honestly know poo poo all about our team. A sentiment which you should all share. Recently there were two friendlies which didn't inspire optimism. I guess we drew 0:0 against Lithuania (?).

How it got to this point:

Something like this happened. We won against Germany and the rest is typical terrible play.


Our proud national team!


what we do best

The men between the posts:

Wojciech Chezny (AS Roma) - I know that he once broke both arms while trying to move the goal posts. I hope he's ok now. We all do.
Artur Boruc (AFC Bournemouth) - McDonalds spokesperson for Poland - judging by his ample belly and by the fact that they pay him.
Lukasz Fabianski (Swansea City) - I got nothing

D-FENS (If none of these people ring a bell now, just wait till they comically fail on the pitch as is the Polish tradition)

Michal Pazdan (Mackintosh's avatar)
Artur Jedrzejczyk (same)
Thiago Cionek (US Palermo) - born and bred in the far away land of Brasil! A far descendant of a Polish immigrant forced to drop the -cki from his surname at the border.
Jakub Wawrzyniak (Lechia Gdansk)
Kamil Glik (Torino FC)
Bartosz Salamon (Cagliari Calcio)
Lukasz Piszczek (Borussia Dortmund) - he plays for the other German club

Support (If I write nothing next to most names it's not because I expect you to know these famous international stars)

Krzysztof Maczynski (Wisla Krakow) - brought into the team for sheer tongue twister potential
Tomasz Jodlowiec (Legia Warszawa)
Karol Linetty (Lech Poznan) - this one is from France, I think. No doubt will face accusations of playing for the home team when we face them in the final. E: Whoops! Turns out I confused him with a mixture of Laurent Koscielny and Ludovic Obraniak! His surname looks no good though so when we end up playing against France, someone will no doubt speak his mind after the inevitable own goal.
Grzegorz Krychowiak (Sevilla FC)
Kamil Grosicki (Stade Rennes)
Jakub Blaszczykowski (ACF Fiorentina)
Slawomir Peszko (Lechia Gdansk)
Piotr Zieliniski (Empoli FC)
Bartosz Kapustka (Cracovia)
Filip Starzynski (Zaglebie Lublin)

Attack:

Arkadiusz Milik (Ajax Amsterdam)
Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) - wow he's from Poland!?
Mariusz Stepinski (Ruch Chorzow) - honest to god, first time I see the name.

Coach:
IVECO, driven by Adam Nawalka since 2013

What is at stake for the Polish Eagles?

We are hoping to exit group C and into the further stages, which as said will be a new experience for our country, after the following matches:

Poland v. Northern Ireland - June 12
Germany v. Poland (hey we beat them... once!) - June 16
Ukraine v. Poland (a match to settle all scores from 2012) - June 21

Definitely Northern Ireland fans, not seeing any Polish ones there though. Besides, our ultras have been boycotting the national team for years, I doubt anyone worth fighting would be in France.

Not sure tbh. It started with them boycotting the FA and "their" national team. Now it's mostly because they loathe regular fans and don't want to mingle with them. Personally, I prefer to believe they can't afford tickets.
