The Poles dominated for a good half hour overall but couldnt finish, I feel bad for them, living in south London there were many red and white flags being waved and they deserved maybe not a win but atleast one goal out of their many chances in the second half.

LOL! You rooted for the Polish just because England didn't qualify, that's why u got the impression that they dominated in the 2nd half. They didn't. Germany dominated the whole game and stomped Poland. Most of the Polish scoring chances were garbage, thus they didn't score.


Agreed, I thought the score actually flattered the Poles a little.  Germany have been the most impressive side thus far, but we have yet to see many of the contenders.

Rol - sorry about the Austria result, that must have been tough when you actually were the better side on the day.  Croatia took the lead and then played crap for the rest of the match, and you guys at least got some confidence out of it I think.  Perhaps a draw with Germany and a win over Poland will be enough.


Poland may not have had the finishing power in the end but at many times it looked as if Poland could have easily scored, Poland made more chances overall statisticaly speaking. and I quote from the commentators "Germany are looking very weak now" but in the end it was simply bad defending on the Polish front which cost them the game, after the first goal went in there wasnt much action for a while and when Poland started running out of time they took the risk of pushing everyone further forward which inevitably cost them another goal.

So Germany did deserve a win but seemed to underestimate Poland, and in my books unless Germany dont sort out their defense issues soon then they may find themselves being battered by Portugal in the knockouts.
