Strong top 10, and no more past winners. Pretty good year. Four shows I would love to see win still in, although I'll be shocked if any of them even make it to the final given SG/Monogatari/LotGH have stuck around.

Italy look really scary. Kinda hoping they phone it in against us in the last game and I'm glad they thrashed Switzerland so our goal difference is more favourable.

Hey @Sheep007 am I getting Kaiji or are you getting Brotherhood for bubu?

I'll get Brotherhood but can still trade and save Steins Gate next hour if you like @MysteriousStan

Christ that was stressful. Shocked we won that, really proud of us for doing so well so far in a tough group. Another away game next but if we can nick a draw against Italy and finish second that'd give us a chance to go even further. Lovely to see Robbo score at the end too.

Too tense to say much about the match in here.

I'm talking about the last 15 years.

Not this tournament specifically.

Just like how Gerrard and Lampard are not playing in this tournament, but England haven't achieved much with those 2 and Rooney.

ah that's a fair enough assessment one some level tbh although a lot of players have not replicated their club form for us (I still think Fabianski should stay our first choice, and Krychowiak is just a fucking idiot). However, I also think most other nations pick better coaches and have a better pool of talent more suited to building a team as well as some actual characters, rather than a squad full of slow old men who are too scared to try anything except passing to Lewa. The only reason we qualify for anything is him. Apologies if I was a little hostile in my first response, I'm annoyed because we're shit and also because commentators and pundits keep calling it a shock or calling us dark horses when we have been embarrassing garbage in almost every tournament in my lifetime.

---

Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along.

Half of those weren't even in the squad today, so I'm not sure what relevance they have. It's like using Xavi and Iniesta to cite why Spain should be beating Sweden. Glik is old now and honestly I don't rate Krychowiak all that highly. I don't think this result came as a surprise to any Polish supporters or anyone who has watched us recently. Maybe it's an upset on paper but even then it's not a huge one. Regardless, I think we should have done better over the years when we did have a good squad, but I think those days are gone and we just aren't very good anymore.

Poland at times remind me of pre-Southgate England but for that second tier of Euro nations.
Lots of talent with names that show up across a number of good teams as more than just squad players.

But they don't seem to play as well as they should.
Even if they pull a result here, it's not been the most convincing display.

Honestly I think we're oddly overrated by people, probably because they see Lewa and Szczesny and think "wow they have good players!" but our squad just isn't very well balanced, our defence is plain bad, and we lack pace so badly. I don't think we've been better than average in my lifetime and once Lewa goes (probably after the WC) I expect us to stop even qualifying regularly.

I thought you were Welsh

Half and half. Slightly more connection to Wales cause that's where I've mostly lived and been involved with football but I would consider myself Polish as well.

Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along.

Glad to see we look slightly less shit this half.

---

Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along.

Honestly we have been even worse than I expected. Thought we would lose this game but this is pathetic. Sousa is a horrible fit for us too and for such a boring defensive coach he hasn't sorted out our back line which has been dogshit since we lost Piszczek. Was bad enough having to watch a season of him at my club and now I have to watch our best ever player in his prime get wasted for another major tournament.

Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along.

or alternatively we win our last game after we are already out

It is the Poland way

Hope the Scots smash em. Nothing more irritating than smug England fans after they win and that'll go double for if they beat the Scots.

Proper shame for N Macedonia but they gave it a good go. Always lovely to see smaller nations try and play.

Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along.

Seeing N Macedonia here is making me smile an irrational amount.

Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along.

I should have clarified, most of the V3 girls are meh or straight up bad, and almost all of the DR3 girls are worse than them.

Very good top 10 overall, at least.
