Smolarek played the full 90 in a 0-0 tie with FC Cologne. Tomasz Kuszczak's injury has been revealed: http://www.naszakadra.info/news.php?id=284&PHPSESSID=6b9db258e80d52ca3d416bda7bcc82ca
other than Krzynowek(because of an assist) & Sosin(goal) it was a bad day for Polish players today. Summary here: http://www.naszakadra.info/news.php?id=319&PHPSESSID=bc85bbb0a1e4379c9ba70f6fec20f4c4
Sunday turned out to be an awesome day for Polish players. Maciej Zurawski had an astonishing 4 goals!!, & 2 assists in an 8-1 win over Dunfermline today. He now has 12 goals on the season, & 15 overall, in 16 games. Artur Boruc played the full 90. The Dunfermline goal was his fault as he strayed off the line and missed punching the ball clear. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/reports/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/06/02/19/SOCCER_Dunfermline.html Miroslaw Szymkowiak had a goal in a 2-0 win today. He scored the first goal, which turned out to be the game winner. If you guys have read the "Boruc comments", what do you guys think of them? I personally am astonished that he would risk saying things like that. Although the translation did exaggerate what he said, I read the full Polish interview and some of the comments were really dumb. Although he was surrounded by about 50 Legia supporters, and the whole interview was done tongue-in-cheek, I still feel eh should have been a little more wary. This is a fairly big topic in Scotland right now...
Franek better get it together at Wolves. On the bench for todays match v. Hull. Thats the first time he's not starting in a League Championship game since he joined the club.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think he might have a back problem, and thats why he didnt play today. In other news, Rasiak got his first goal for Southampton today. He scored the 2nd goal in a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday. He also got taken down in the box, which lead the the first goal. Jacek Krzynowek scored for Bayer Leverkusen today. He had the third goal in a 3-0 win over FC Cologne. Lukasz Sosin continued his domination of the Cypriot league with two goals in a 2-2 tie today. They were his 18th & 19th goals of the season.
He was the top scored for the past 2 years, he had 21 in both. At this pase, he'll get like 30 this year.
I'm really curious to see how he'll do in the friendlies. I wonder if theres any way we can see the Poland vs. Kaiserlautern game on Tuesday...
A bit ironic that we couldnt find any offense in Germany, but the one striker we didnt choose to come with us scores a hat trick a couple days afetr the game. Yup, Marek Saganowski continued his awesome form with 3 goals today in a 4-0 win over Vitoria Setubal. The other goal was scored on a penalty shot after Sagan was taken down in the box. http://www.90minut.pl/news.php?id=383497
Well, yeah he should have been there, I dont know why Janas didnt call on Sagan. Anytime I hear news like this I feel like ranting about "drewniak" but its no use, barring a miracle he'll be in the WC squad, and a player who can actually put the ball in the net will be watching on tv.
Once again Sagan has proven that he's class, and again I will voice my opinion - He would be DEFINELTY more valuable than the likes of "planky boy", Sosin whose call up was a bad joke and even Niedzielan who is a decent player but not as good as Sagan
that's true. Maciej Zurawski scored AGAIN for Celtic today. He had the 3rd goal in a 3-0 win over Aberdeen. Boruc was largely untested for the match, but kept a clean sheet.
Mariusz Lewandowski scored for Shakhtar Donetsk today in a 1-1 draw. It's the first game of the restart in the Ukrainian league.
In terms of other players who are not on the NT scope... Seweryn Gancarczyk scored for Metalist Charkow in a 2-0 win today in the Ukrainian League. http://www.90minut.pl/news.php?id=383852 Jerzy Brzeczek scored a nice goal for FC Wacker Tirol yesterday in a 1-0 win over SV Pasching in the Austrian Bundesliga. He scored on a volley from just outside the box. http://www.90minut.pl/news.php?id=383734
Szymkowiak played very well game at the league match. And he did one asist..Szymkowiak team won the game 2-1 I just wanna say. This player is pleasure to watch. He is everywhere on the pitch. I think he is gonna be your key player at WC2006 Finals. Good luck to you.
Not sure if this is the best thread for this post, but I will write it anyways. If it needs to be moved, please do so. A neighbor of mine was over on Saturday and we were talking about the Polish league. He told me that over the winter break Pogon Sczeczin went to Brazil to train. He said that after training in Brazil, Pogon returned to Poland with 18 Brazilians on the team. This seems a bit far fetched. Has anyone heard anything about this? If this is true, it is rather funny.
yah its true, check the team's website...kind of strange obviously, but i'm kind of curious to see how this turns out...
Hahaha yep, they have only 4 domestic players in the first team and their Brazilians will suck beacause they were bought on a sale Ptak - the clubs president bought probably the cheapest players, from low division clubs. He thinks that good origin of his players will win him matches. Well he is wrong. I feel sorry for the club and their fans beacause we have good relations with them and i like Pogon
I'm surprised that there isn't a minimum number of domestic players a club must have either on the field or, at the very least, on the team. This Pogon thing is somewhat a disaster. Mostly a huge joke, but kind of dissapoiting too.
Can someone tell me a little bit about 17-year-old Tomasz Cywka? The club I support, Fulham, is reportedly after his signature. I do not know anything about him. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
http://sport.onet.pl/1274773,wiadomosci.html According to this Wigan signed him already. First I hear of him but from the looks of things he seems to have some promise, espescially now that English coaches will take care of his growth. Good news IMHO.
