Soccer conversations in there have been turning into Ireland vs England and extra sport type of stuff

Do you know anything about Poland style of play? I've seen them play in Euro16 but it's not enough to judge because I read that they were impressive in the qualification stage.

If you want to know about Poland's football prowess you might want to talk to Rol directly. Or if you want the opinion of someone who actually understands football you'd better ask Scisca.

My opinion is that they have so far proven nothing. Their inability to score goals despite having some serious talents in their attack reminds me of Holland, but their team is overall lower quality. If they actually manage to beat Portugal today that is gonna be on Portugal alone.

I hope Scisca doesn't see this post. :-s

Can they control the game if Portugal relinquishes possession? because that's what Portugal is going to do. They have 3 center and 1 defensive midfielders just to stop Poland's defense and feed Ronaldo and Nani. Two of the most creative of their midfielders are injured and they have less decision makers in the middle.
