In fairness England normally manage to disappoint before as well as during.

Ohh Germany v Poland. There is going to be murder there. See the fans are already at each others throats. I work with a guy who use to be a in a polish football firm and he has told me they have all been waiting for this and there is going to be hell to pay

Ouch.

I seem to remember them playing each other in the last World Cup and there being some trouble.

TBF Germans started that 2 years ago, we are just giving it back to them. In 2006 one could hear jokes about polish players doing houses refurbishment after games and one of Germans newspaper had polish Prime minister and President ( who are twins and utter cunts ) portraited as potatoes. They have plenty of polish jokes which are in a very bad taste as for example tourist advertisment: Go to Poland, your car is there already ( cause all polish steal cars ) and so on.

Funny thing is that mentioned newspaper belongs to Springer group who are ...Germans

And this battle that was mentioned wasn`t just any battle. It was as important for polish history as Battle of Hasting is for English. We absolutely smashed them and saved our independence.

Anyway, bring them on

Cheers mate, good to hear both sides of it. Good luck today.

I must say the Germans do have that ominous look about them,if they get out of the group they could go all the way to the final as the way the draw is set up. Csnt beleive they havent mixed the draw up and allowed everyone to be open to playing each other, rather than just keeping it A and B to duke it out and C&D to keep on playing each other.

So much for MR platini helping out the smaller nations.

It is because Austria, Switzerland and Greece where all seeded.
