Polska v USA friendly on Wednesday (26/03/2008)

1:10h till kick-off.

Yeah...working from home today just so I can watch :)

Ok. I'll take that. 3-1 is pushing it :)

Nothing of the sort. I'm American by the way. Just that this is a tune up for Poland for the European Championship and well for the States there isn't much coming up for them. So I would assume the Polish team doesn't want to have issues with injuries and probably wouldn't mind taking a look at a few guys who might make the bench for the championships.

I would just love to be there right now.

USA 1 Poland 0 :)

Damn....we need a fight song :) PL is one of the loudest crowds around.

LOL USA 2 Poland 0

Woot!!

thanks atlantic

USA 3 Poland 0

LOL. As always.

Where's the cheerleaders for Poland? HeHe

no co za frajerzy. :(

HAHAHA

The Polish need to learn better cover on set plays. Other than that, to be honest has been a pretty poor game all around.

Gotta give it to you Zgubiony you called the 3 goals.

He knew it. Hey Zgubiony give me some of the money you made on th game. LOL :)

It would've been nice for PL to get the 1 though :)


I'm happy we represented. The US team was ok, but the performance wasn't all that. Passing is definitely an issue.

final score USA 3 Poland 0


Well, if our performance was bad then how you're going to call yours Zagubiony? :-)
3 : 0 is actually a very one sided score in soccer game no matter how you put it. I'm not saying it to argue with anyone, it's just the way it is.

............ *sad*

Were the Poles that bad, or were the US really good ?... :/

i believe so

because


doesn't happen...


lol;P

Substitution players Matusiak, Gargula did ok. Experiment with starting 11 turned out to be a miss.

But doesn't always reflect the game. Although, seems to have in this case.



Good prediction Z, I should never have doubted your predictive powers...now tell me the lottery numbers...

Yeah, I wish :)

OK, here it is, I put a bet on nie teams to win in the international friendlies tonight, the following teams are the ones i had to win:

Brazil
France
Iceland
N.Ireland
Greece
Wales
Montenegro
Germany
POLAND

I put £5 down and was ready to walk away with £975. However after the England game had finished, we were poor :(, i went to look at the scores, i find all is well and i'm already spending the money in my head and the last result on my mobile to appear is Poland 0 - 3 USA. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!!!! did they play the kids or something??? I love Leo Beenhakker and for that he loses me my bet!!!!! lol somebody, anybody explain what happened to the Polish side tonight, as i say i couldn't see any highlights as i was well into the England game.

ON a positive note though Scotland mnagaged to draw with Croatia and only had half a side due to the Old Firm players pulling out of the squad :)

actually it's just a friendly game so, doesn't reflect the %100 qualities.

Beenhaaker is being slated in the press but he had a depleted squad. He didn't go all out for the win and there's much more gas in the tank. No cause for concern IMHO.

It was a pretty lacklustre performance by Polska ..... three goals conceded from set plays is quite poor, and we didn't really put enough pressure on the Yanks.

The US deserved the win, but I believe 3-0 flattered them; Boruc looks like he's carrying a bit of extra weight ..... needs to get in better shape before June :o)

Ebi Smolarek and Matusiak seemed to inject a bit of urgency into the team when they came on in the second half, but overall not much came off for Polska - there was a good shout for a penalty after a US defender handballed in the area, but the ref didn't give it.

Fortunately this was just a friendly, but we'll have to play a lot better if we're to get out of the group phase in Euro 2008 !

I see that Holland managed to come back from 3-0 down against Austria to beat them 4-3, Croatia managed a 1-1 draw with Scotland, and Germany got a convincing 4-0 win away to Switzerland.
