Euro: Group E: Poland vs. Slovakia, 6/14/2021

I'm really miffed I missed the second half of that game, the first was first-rate football, exciting, up-and-down back-and-forth, none of this passing around until the other team falls asleep. Kudos to both teams! (But Slovakia more )

Lewandowski might be the best finisher going, but he doesn't contribute much else to the team at all. In these games it's just as much the team not helping him as it is him not helping the team.

Indeed, but somehow here, you can't criticize him.
I'd take a Kane or Benzema before him for most teams
But if you have a juggernaut team where all you need is someone to bang in the goals, you take Lewa (similar to Trezeguet in that regard).

What about you telling us now a lot about how crow taste

I mean Poland was very poor and we probably would have lost without the red card. Still need to make few changes heading into next game. Hancko must be in there for Hubocan. Still would like to see Benes start but oh well. Hromada was good as a screener. Let’s hope Pekarik is alright

Awful, now we lost our chance to make the knockout stage. This game was one of the most important for us, because now Spain and Sweden will probably beat Slovakia. Polska will have to beat Sweden and will probably have to draw Spain which is a tough task considering we lost to effin' Slovakia.

I mean, Polish NTs and even clubs are losing with Slovak teams more than regularly, so it shouldn´t be surprising for you.

 

[Juve]

The ball bouncing from the post onto the back of Szczesny and then back into goal just seems very representative of his career

Allegri said he prefers to keep Szczesny over signing Donnarumma.....

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Poland's misfortune is that their generational talent plays the one position that relies most on competent support from other positions in order to make an impact. If they had a Hamsik type player to support Lewandowski the team would be a totally different type of equation.

 

[Albatros]

They do have Zieliński who is about as good a player you can reasonably expect to have. But wings are very weak without Błaszczykowski, Piszczek & co.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Injuries must be huge for Poland. I liked them to go to the knockout stages but then I looked at their lineup and meh. Felt like there was a lot missing

Who would have ever thought that Slovakia gets a better result from a soccer-tournament than from a hockey-tournament?

They've always survived the group stage so far, wouldn't be that surprising if they do it again.

Lol, that's like the best lol I've had in such a long time. I have no effin' clue what Juve saw in Szczesny in the first place, Fabinski has always been the superior goalkeeper.

Polska is having to play through some key injuries forcing them to play Zelinski as a winger instead as a #10. Now I am not sure how much of a difference he'd make, but he most definitely make more creativity for Lewandowski than whatever he did as a winger.

Well I mean individual talent that we have in football is higher than hockey. We have a world class CB and a great GK. Plus depth in the middle, of course still need a striker.

Lmfao rip Poland. Now time for a hockey atmosphere against Sweden!!!

a

what do you mean with this?

 

[kudla]

what do you mean with this?

It's nice to face a country which we also play against at hockey championships. Will be a bit different

 

[Ivo]

considering we lost to effin' Slovakia.

Poland lost 4 out of the last 5 matches against Slovakia, so I am baffled at your surprise and superior attitude.

i think it might be becuse poland is super good at so many sports, like hockey, handball, basketball etc so they think they are super good at soccer too.

All teams should not sign Arsenal players. They will infect the Team.
