Vested interest in this group as will be going to the Glasgow knockout game so that's the winner of this one.

[urban.spaceman]

Brother in law is Polish so I’ll be following them with interest. So they have a chance to get out this group tho?

[Dan LCFC]

It's a shame that Spain have all three at home, because I think on neutral grounds they're in real danger of not winning the group.

I'm pulling for them as my half sisters are half Polish. Not that they give a fuch about this tournament nor are they really very Polish

Their squad is really average.

 

I'm always interested to see Lewandowski but it's a shame he hasn't got quality around him like he has at Bayern.

[spacemunky]

Shame Milik is out of this one with an injury. Probably my favourite player on Poland, now that Kuba's retired from international play.

I’m unsure about this Spanish side I’m not sure it is that great… but we will see for sure.

They've lacked talent, so I think they have an excuse for being an 'efficient' side.
Still, Zlatan has provided some very memorable moments in the past.
In truth, not many international sides are exciting to watch. Who do you like to watch?

Since January I think.

[Blue ROI]

Had high hopes when we signed him that Kaputska would have grown into a dependable player for us and Poland by now.

 

Disappointing how it turned out.

[Tuna]

Sousa never managed in the Premier League.

[HankMarvin]

Sounds like glen hoddle had a sex change 

[Finnegan]

Emma Hayes might well be the most uninspired choice of pundit for a major international tournament in history. 

 

Hasn't ever played football semi professionally let alone professionally or for a country.

 

Hasn't even ever managed a national team. Has literally the same amount of experience of an international major tournament as any fan. 

 

Absolutely countless former pros, both men and women, from all all over Europe, fully fluent in English, have represented their country's at the Euros. They seriously couldn't find one?

Your last point is correct but my criticism is more about their style. They are very pragmatic and conservative every tournament. Also, other than Zlatan I can't think of many, if any, Swedish players that have excited me.

I enjoyed Brolin, Dahlin, Ljungberg, Elmander and 'Henke' Larsson back in the day. But I don't know how old/young you are.
Was looking forward to seeing Kulusevski as I don't watch much Italian football.

[Finnegan]

OG that

Apparently Szczesny should do better from a shot that got deflected in to the post and came off the back of his head  

[Facecloth]

Unfortunately thats an OG I think.

[spacemunky]

Fabianski would have saved that.
