Put some money on Poland half-time lead into a draw before the game. Rather happy about that penalty save.

Realise as I'm an Englishman I open to charges of stones and glasshouses, but yuk. Standard of football has been pretty excremental.

What I've seen has been like a championship relegation scrap
When I went over to Warsaw for the World Scrabble Championships in October last year I remember watching two teams in a near empty small stadium on TV. I thought it was a relegation clash in Poland's top club division, turned out to be a friendly between Poland and Belarus.

Haha, maybe it's my vested interest in this game that made it more fun for me, but whilst that wasn't exactly a footballing purist's dream, I don't think the game was that bad.

Poland are nothing to get excited about, but I thought once Greece got it together they looked like a tidy and well drilled side. Thought Kyriakos Papadopoulos looked very impressive individually as well tbh.

First half was very entertaining honestly, compared to openers in most tournaments. Second obviously wasn't that great, but meh. Memorable game.

Dangerous post mate. I was thinking along similar lines until I realised that they both passed it better than we'll probably manage.

Yeah, it's not that I think we're any good or anything, but one of the real joys of 2008 was that it was free of leaden footed Anglo Saxons & Celts and one could slaver over the sublime tekkers on display. I don't expect anything else from us.

If the Poles and Greeks are any guide the standard won't live up this time around.

Talking to myself here. About time this forum recognise the one voice worth listening to.
