hahah i see you changed the Zurawski picture from the one that was posted on some of the sites, good job.
You think we should post some of the profiles that we made earlier this year under the players names and pictures?

It wasn't that time consuming, MoRado, a bit over an hour. Most of the pictures were from gazeta.pl, anyway, and I just changed a few of the lame ones.
Karny, I thought about doing that description thing, but that would be really time consuming...even I, a well known slacker and work-avoider wasn't able to sacrifice the time needed. The funny thing is, since we did that Poland profile in December there have been many, many changes. Like we had Dudek at 100%, Frankowski at 100%, Klos at 100%...and some of the guys we didn't even dream of making the squad, like Gancarczyk or Giza or even Brozek. But I do pride myself on forseeing Dudka making the 23 man team :p We should probably redo the profile, though, if anyone is up to it....

wow, i feel bad for Damian...I had no idea they were allowed to do something like this, I thought once May 15th passed that was it.

Gobas is right. Regulations allow changes after the 15th if they are due to injury or a physical problem. The comprehensive physicals that FIFA now requires (instituted after the death of Vivien Foe) showd that Gorawski had major pulmonary problems, and should not go to Germany. Since the decision follows FIFA required testing, they will more than likely not complain about the change.
I just don't understand why he chose Bosacki to replace Gorawski....why not Burkhardt, for instance.

Bartosz Bosacki (Defense) replaces Damian Gorawski (Midfield).
Bosacki's stats:

Or Blaszczykowski? Janas said he chose Gorawski because of his versatility..The only logical replacement would be Jakub, since he can play both midfield and defense.
And why would he choose Bosacki instead of a young guy, like Burkhardt, or even Iwanski?
