Poland vs. Belgium Friendly [R]

[Kasia_09]

Heya guys!

I'm a newbie here and hope get to know ya all soon!
Anyway, who do you guys think will win the friendly: Poland or Belgium? After Poland's dismal performance in the WC I doubt they can come out as the winners, even though I wish they would! Belgium had a quite good WC and performed very well against Brazil. Maybe Poland's new coach will have a few tricks up his sleeve! Lets hope so for Poland's soccer! =) Niech zyje Polska!

a lot of the "stars" aren't playing so its going to be hard to tell how it goes.
Hajto and Swieczewski were not included because they played poorly during the WC. I'm glad that they're left out. Olisadebe isn't in either because he hasn't been playing much lately I guess. And Dudek asked not to play because he is training with Liverpool.

I'm really dissapointed that Rzasa wasn't included. I don't understand what reason Boniek had to do that. But its good that he's giving the other ones a chance, especially Wichniarek.
We already know what the regular ones are like, and this is just a friendly, so we might as well see if there is some undiscovered talent.

But since he's put in so many new ones that don't have much experience, I really doubt that we're going to win against Belgium.
But who knows, maybe this is a good thing because the newer players will go all out to try to prove themselves. If they will do well against Belgium, them we will have some good additions to the team.

Rzasa has been added to the squad becasue of injuries.

oh. damn, I didn't know that. I guess I've been behind on the news lately. :(

Anybody know where i can listen to this match Live? English or Polish, but i prefer Polish. What site will have it? Someone please help!

I used to hear all matches on Polish radio on dish network but Polonia canceled their deal so the radio stations also went away.

[tredowski]

Radio Jedynka will have it (in Polish):
http://www.radio.com.pl/jedynka/realaudio/jedynka.ram

although you better try to get on it now and leave it overnight because if you try to turn it on before the game it will be full or too congested or whatever and a message will appear that the file cannot be played.

So far this is the only place I know of that will have it live. I heard it starts at 19:45 CET, is that right?

[RhinosBoy21]

I thought is a 20:00 (Polish time) kickoff? Which would make it 2pm here in NY. I'm not sure, i'll come early though.

Thanks for the link.

There wouldn't even be an English commentary on the match anyway. Only in Polish, Walloon or Flemish!

Best trackers for this match are:

www.pzpn.pl
www.kadra.pl

I tried the radio link even last night and it didn't work. I even got up at like 3am to go to the bathroom and i tried it then too, but it still didn't work.

[Irate Polish Fan]

I use the tracker at www.gazeta.pl

It looks like Wichniarek is really blowing his chances - that's 4 occasions where he was late, missed, didn't pass to open teammate...

[tredowski]

on the gazeta.pl tracker it says Zurawski scored the first one.
on livescore.com it says it was Murawski. Which one was it really anyone know?
