As anyone with any knowledge of football will know Poland had a decent national side in the 1970's, the World cup qualifier against England in 1973 is still remembered mainly because of a brilliant display by the Polish goalkeeper, our paths have crossed over the years and England have managed to maintain the upper hand, many of you who came to UK in 2004 will no doubt recall that Poland were drawn in the same 2006 World cup qualifying group as England, Northern Ireland and Wales, you will also recall the controversial decision by Howard Webb to disallow a last minute equaliser against Austria in Euro 2008 , no British countries qualified so the majority of the country 'adopted' Poland as a home country,
a lot of Poles returned the compliment and when you didn't qualify for the 2010 World cup, a lot of Poles supported their host nation, I even saw Poles wearing England shirts but after our performance, you probably wished you never bothered.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to next years tournament, when England staged it in 1996, we saw some great football, hopefully next year we will see more of the same, just one thing, England should qualify but if we play you, we won't be friends for 90 minutes!
