Poland Sports News

To get the sportsman on that level one must invest in kids. When I was starting with sport my school run a program of extra 10 hours a week of dedicated PE and 1,5 h x 5 times a week training for free. I checked swimming and gymnastics in my area and 1 half and hour sessions a week is £30 a month...

Oh, we do! We invest in cheeseburgers, fries, coke, pizzas, coke, video games, smartphones, ...What else do you want? Lately, even those battery-operated inventions from hell so that the poor darlings don't have to walk, God forbid! Our reward is that they will die before they can start drawing the retirement benefits - or sooner from covid. Hopefully, before the parents spend a load of cash on that useless degree.

Thank you, Mr. Darwin!

Very much so, however it can't be limited just to kids; it has to start there, and start seriously there, but the facilities, financial support and the trainers have to continue. At least that's what worked for the UK. Since Poland already has large sporting infrastructure, mostly due large-scale investment pre-1989, it has an excellent chance (and the structure still in place) to build on that. It would work.


Yet some who match that description tried invading them during the Bay of Pigs...

So easy peasy...

Poland v England World Cup football qualifier in Warsaw tonight.
Poland have the best striker but England have the better team.
I always support Poland in these games but, obviously, I am not too disappointed if they lose.
I just hope Poland put up a good fight and don't get thrashed.
The Polish FA have said they there will not be any racist chants from Polish fans as there was in Hungary,because the national team support comes more from families than hooligans.This is true to a degree, but we all know that hooligans attend these matches too, as witnessed when Poland play Russia.

Do you think some Polish fans will cause trouble?

Half-time.Poland 0 England 0.

England were the better team, but Poland were good and the best chance of a goal fell to Lewndowski.
He missed.....:-(
Second half to come..... If Poland don't tire, they could give England a scare.
I still think England will win though.... :-(

Yes I'm watching it as well. Great to see Poland competitive.

Wow!!!
Poland1 England1
I was worried about how much Poland would be beaten by this very good English side.
Seems to me that Poland have improved enormously as well.
They never gave up, never got tired and just kept fighting.I
Brilliant result for Poland!

great game> was fun to see the crowd and team go wild in warsaw. 2nd game and first goal for szymanski. nice header.

@amiga500
Yeah, good game and Poland can be proud of that result against one of the best teams in the world.

Good result for Poland! I wouldn't go as far as saying they were playing against one of the best teams in the world. What have they won in the last 50 years?

Why cant they finish the game so its 2 to 1?

Oh come on Vincent!
You don't get to the Euro finals and only lose on penalties if you are a rubbish team!

@Joker
Less points then opponent = 0 score
If it's a tie it = 1 score
A win = 3 score

Unless they changed the scoring system

Looks like the Polish FA were right about the behaviour of Polish fans, despite the Polish fans being in good voice, I did not hear any racist chants.

They applauded the English national anthem but they did jeer when the England players "took the knee"......I can't blame them for that.

Why would English players want to honor an American criminal drug addict with a record of abusing women? Really, what's up with that?

@mafketis

I don't get it either Maf........

Funny. The British Guardian journalist suggested that Polish cameramen kept showing only aryan-looking children in the crowds of soccer fans during the match two days ago. He added it was impossible that all kids in Warsaw were blond. haha

Hi Paw, Guardian is simply not BBC, but lately also BBC has stoped being objective. On the other side Polish kids are mostly white and not black.

I would not trust either news sources if I were you.
The Guardian has a long history of being a left wing mouthpiece and the BBC has followed their example.

only a soviet traitor like you finds it funny, any polish person would see it as an slur on poland, as per the usual of the western liberal-left establishment , which the guardian rag is.

@amiga500, it's so stupid that it is funny, actually... So take it easy...

Agreed, The Guardian is a pathetic left wing rag.

This Polish fan seems to be with great interest following the match with the English.

A scout for young talent.

Good day for Poland, bad for Russia - Poles defeated Russians in voleyball:

...and in football:

Btw, before the voleyball match Russian voleyball star praised Polish voleyball fans - he said that their support is the best in the world, which was nice and classy, I think :):

Great stuff!

Polish Football Association has announced Poland won`t play the nearest national match against Russia.

pzpn.pl/en/national-teams/national-team-a/news/2022-02-26/poland-does-not-intend-to-play-the-play-off-match-against-russia

No more words, time to act! Due to the escalation of the aggression of the Russian Federation towards Ukraine the Polish national team does not intend to play the play-off match against Russia.

Robert Lewandowski commented:

wore an armband with the colors of Ukraine during his latest match as a sign of support for the heroic country resisting the invasion of Russ-Asian hordes. Excellent.

And that started an avalanche of other teams quitting which forced FIFA to suspend the Russian team. They are not going to play in Qatar. Amasing.

Thank you for your involvement. Glory to Ukraine.

Funny demonstration. During ski jumping competition, Polish commentators kept silent when Russ jumpers took part.

Two major decisions of the International Volleyball Federation First, Russia was deprived of the right to organize the tournament, and a few hours later, Ukraine was given the green light to perform.

The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) picked up Russia's event on March 1 due to a military attack on Ukraine. The final tournament, at the turn of August and September, will be held in Poland and Slovenia. It's not everything. On Thursday, FVU President Mykhailo Melnyk received a letter from the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) confirming that Ukraine will play in the 2022 World Cup instead of Russia.

Wow! Polish volleyball fans are thrilled.
