He was born in Poland but he played his youth football in Germany i think.

This Polish side are just such awesome fun, and Lewandowski's a magnificent flag-bearer. He's been outnumbered all night and never shirked anything. Really liking the look of him.

as with almost all this tournament so far I only caught about half of that but it was great, stoked if they both end up going through
― geezargh butlargh (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 20:38 (fourteen years ago)
they are certainly the best two teams in the group
― too cool graham rix listening to neu (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 20:39 (fourteen years ago)
I hope they both do go through, though I'm not too confident of Poland actually winning a game after the first debacle.

Echoing all that about it being a great game. Everything felt much more sparked up than before.

― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 20:43 (fourteen years ago)
didn't think it was that good cuz russia didn't really funtion properly, zhirkov was contained by piszcczek/kuba and without him and to a lesser extent anyukov widening the defence arshavin and dzagoev had less space
kerzhakov is a clever player but he doesn't really have great acceleration or skill

russia are playing chic early 00s formation 'the xmas tree formation'

Agree want them both through (the one thing that could've made that better would've been if it'd been a knock-out stages tie, cos then the ending would've been menk), but at the same time I would find it sort of funny if Greece did Russia. Particularly if Samaras scored.
― William Bloody Swygart, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 20:45 (fourteen years ago)
Thinking things could get kinda nasty if Russia win this tournament.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 21:27 (fourteen years ago)
nasty is relative compared to the golden age of Soviet oppression, obv
― Mexès Coleslaw Massacre (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 21:33 (fourteen years ago)
The final's in Ukraine at least, I don't think Russia's hated there even in the west. The team is highly likeable too, I feel that should make a difference.

has dzagoev done anything arshavin-the-meme-esque yet to garner a thread before he is named player of the tournament and goes to real or psg

Noticing that in commentaries on matches involving Greece, the usual Greek mythological references trotted out by commentators are in danger of being superseded by Euro crisis ones
