Poland are set to welcome defender Jakub Blaszczykowski from long-term absence and this has raised questions about Robert Lewandowski continuing as the captain of the team. Blaszczykowski was the captain of Poland when manager Adam Nawalka came to the national team in October 2013.

The Borussia Dortmund defender had just guided Poland through a difficult Euro 2012 with relative success. Immediately after taking over,Nawalka announced that there would be no changes in captaincy. This has not been the case sinceBlaszczykowski has been troubled with injuries ever since. In order to maintain stability in the team, Lewandowski was made as the standby captain. Continue reading »

Goals from ArkadiuszMilik and Sebastian Milan was enough for Poland to register a shocking and history making victory of Poland over Germany as it was the very first time that the Polish national team has been able on defeating their neighbors, Germany.

The importance of this victory cannot go understated as Germany had not lost an away qualifier neither in the World Cup or in the Euroa��s in over 14 years.

Poland managed to overcome Germany with a convincing scoreboard of 2-0 but 3 days later Poland played against Scotland in another 2016 Euroa��s qualifying match and Scotland managed to hold their ground and rescue 1 point as the scoreboard displayed 2-2 after the match was over.

Germanya��s Joachim Low expressed his disappointment towards the end of the game as the coach said:

“Obviously we are very disappointed. But I can’t say much about the team. The only thing is that we were a bit sloppy with our chances in the first half.Also in the second half we played well and created chances but Poland scored with their first dangerous ball. Our game execution was good. Our finishing wasn’t.”

Polanda��s sublime campaign in the 2016 Euroa��s group stages has seen the Polish squad claim the top spot of Group D with 7 points gathered so far out of the 3 matches which have been played as well as also having a superb goal difference of +9 and this could be the difference in advancing through the next stages of the 2016 Euroa��s or not being able to qualify and securing their ticket to France.

Ita��s no doubt whatsoever that it has been a great start for Poland, all that is left to see is whether or not Poland can continue their run and if Germany can recover from their latest disappointing and underwhelming performances.

Germany managed to get a draw against Poland in one of the pretournament friendly matches in their preparations for the World Cup 2014. Germany manager Joachim Loew stunned everyone by naming one of the youngest teams in the history of German international football. The average age of the team was just 21.45 years. This managed to beat the previous record of 21.5 years set more than a hundred years ago. Loew gave eight players their debuts in the match, while the total starting 11 had just 13 international appearances together.

Despite this extremely young team, they managed to get the result that was pleasing for the manager. Loew said after the match that he is extremely happy with the way patient team fought against an experienced Polish team, who will now be looking to build on this result and qualify for the Euro 2016. One of the players included in the team was Schalke midfielder Draxler, who has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League. Draxler and other players like Max Mayer were also included in the squad.

Poland were also without a couple of star names like Robert Lewandowski since they had nothing to play for in the summer after having failed to qualify for the World Cup 2014.

“That was fun, we had a crazy amount of debutants in the team, but they did their jobs very well. We were well organised and played well going forward. Even without the goals, it was a fun game,a�? said Loew. “When you are named German captain at the age of 20, that says a few things. It was almost an under-21 side out there today. When you’ve only had a training session, it’s tough to take all the things on board, so we’ve done well,” said Draxler.
