Nothing wrong with supporting your country but we now have ITV showing footage of Zlatan having his thigh strapped and saying "let's hope that's worse than it looks."
Fuck these clowns.

Obviously Salpingidis gets the start after Friday. Fortounis showed the odd evidence of ability last season for kaiserslautern tho it was hard to tell cos 'lautern were so wretched.
czech rep playing the DM Hubschman that they didn't bother with against Russia? I'd have thought he would have been more necessary in that game than this.

who should be subbed out first for ninis/fetfatzidis? samaras?
Depends how it's going - they may move Samaras out wide when it goes wrong rather than sub him off. He's never really a goal threat but on his game things kind of happen around him - that's why I disagree with Strachan, I'd never have him as the point man in attack (unless I was looking for a boring "Rangers away in Europe in 2008" type performance where I didn't necessarily want to score).

There are fears of trouble during the march, given the historic rivalry between the two countries.
is it me or is "rivalry" not the best word to describe the historical relationship between Poland and Russia?

Burley "if any part of your body that can score a goal is offside then your'e off..certainly his left arm was so technically he's off"
