Poland has recently been rated the lowest in its group, so don't read too much into this FIFA rankings are pure bs. England has been very consistent, but in an average group and their squad isn't impressive at all and they are already choking. With Rooney as their leader, they won't win anything, sorry. Poland has been consistent as well with Lewandowski being the top scorer of the qualifiers - and by far - and taking down Germany in one of the qualifiers. The truth for us will be in the Thursday's pudding though.

 

And we already see why I wasn't buying the Belgian hype. They lack the quality and don't form a team.

lol I'm not talking about FIFA rankings, they're complete BS. I'm saying the betting sites have Poland much lower than England, and they're pros who set the odds.

I have no faith in Rooney either.

Thursday's match will be soooo cool, such a battle. I hope many Polish fans are at the site.

Don't rule out Belgium yet, it's only half a match.

Wow, that's shocking. I think only a few English players would manage to squeeze into out first 11 and it'd mainly be defenders, cause they have nothing on us on the offensive side. Strange. It seems to me they are putting too much belief in the perfect qualifiers. On the other hand, England's group is so bad, they should win it and play against a team that was 3rd in its group. That would put them in prime position to advance to the top 8. It's much more difficult for us to win our group But should England place 2nd and have to play the 2nd team from Group F... They can have some hard time

This will be the best game of the group stages. This will easily be THE game of the group stage. Numerous fans are in France, don't worry We wouldn't miss this tournament.

Yeah, Belgium. As I've said - great players, no team. That's why there's no place for them among the very elite. They may randomly explode for one game and take someone down, but no way in hell they win the tournament.
