Poland have been drawn in Group H for the Finals after a campaign of gaming the ranking to make sure they are a Pot A team, good for them:



They might get out, probably not though!

THE SQUAD

Goalkeepers: Bartosz Bialkowski (Ipswich Town), Lukasz Fabianski (Swansea City), Wojciech Szczesny (Juventus).

Defenders: Jan Bednarek (Southampton), Bartosz Bereszynski (UC Sampdoria), Thiago Cionek (SPAL Ferrara), Kamil Glik (AS Monaco), Artur Jedrzejczyk (Legia Warsaw), Michal Pazdan (Legia Warsaw), Lukasz Piszczek (Borussia Dortmund).

Midfielders: Jakub Blaszczykowski (VfL Wolfsburg), Jacek Goralski (PFC Ludogorets Razgrad), Maciej Rybus (FC Lokomotiv Moscow), Piotr Zielinski (Napoli), Karol Linetty (UC Sampdoria), Grzegorz Krychowiak (West Bromwich Albion), Kamil Grosicki (Hull City), Slawomir Peszko (Lechia Gdansk), Rafal Kurzawa (Gornik Zabrze).

Forwards: Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), Arkadiusz Milik (Napoli), Lukasz Teodorczyk (RSC Anderlecht), Dawid Kownacki (UC Sampdoria).

I don't know any of these guys as I'm mostly into free to play anime games nowadays but I'm sure some of the people who read this forum will have heard of some of them or at the very least are prepared to google their names and pass off opinions from around the internet as their own.



THE IMPORTANT STUFF


PHWOAAAAARRR I BET RICHARD KEYS WOULD HANG OUT THE BACK OF THAT WHILE SHOUTING BREXIT MEANS BREXIT PHWAAAOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAR

LANGUAGE TIPS

Here are some translations to help if you end up near any Poles during any of the games:

Goal - Kurwa
Offside - Kurwa
Foul - Kurwa
Go back and watch that video again, follow the off ball movement. Look for triangles to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the second pass, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the pass that was made, appreciate the pass that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful. - Kurwa

To get that real Polish sensation listen to this endlessly:

Clearly you don't understand pure Polish spirit. The natural reaction to any Polish team exiting a tournament early is to get drunk and reminisce about our glorious past.

I wouldn't have a clue. Polish women are hot. Probably a reward for a millennium of suffering and dutiful payments of Peter's pence.

TVP has the absolute worst commentator teams in the world. Not just football. Every single sport. Szaranowicz and Szpakowski should have been sent to the glue factory along with everyone else they booted in 1989. It could be just superstition, but we lose every game commentated by Szpakowski. Still, for all their faults, at least they know something about football, imagine this being on Polsat or worse, TVN.

Iwanski + Dębowski are good handball commentators.

Szpakowski is the worst. I prefer Polsat because no Szpakowski, Borek is inoffensive in the way lukewarm water is and Hajto is so bad it's actually hilarious.

Edit: That being said, do not let Iwański commentate football (which was the case for some time). He just does not give a single poo poo about the game. Awesome in handball though.

I think Clattenburg had a lot of effect on how refs approach the game - let it be more physical and try to control the chaos. When it works, the games are amazing. When it doesn't it's a Chelsea vs Tottenham shitshow

He's the Polish Howard Webb. Literally. Universally loathed and accused of favouritism towards Legia. He's usually dependable, though he's had some bad matches in his past. Well trained in VAR, considered an expert. He hasn't had a massive howler since VAR was introduced, though he does tend to ignore it in Ekstraklasa games.
