Riding the wave of enthusiasm caused by Euro 2012 many Poles started dreaming. When will an event of this kind take place in Poland again?

Brazil striker Hulk says he is yet to agree a crafty move from Porto to the English Premier League heavyweights Chelsea. Champions League holders Chelsea have been repeatedly linked with the 25-year-old, who has refused to commit his future to Porto. Hulk’s agent has been quoted as favouring a move to England, but the player himself is concentrating on Brazil’s London Olympic football campaign. “There is no deal with Chelsea or any other club,” Hulk told Lancenet. “I have four years left on my contract with Porto and I am […]

Not less interesting and who knows if not the most interesting in the second round will be the match between the Dutch and Germans. In their first match at Euro 2012 the Dutch have shown a very weak shape and were defeated by Danish team scoring 0-1. As you can see, the names don’t play and such stars as Robben or Van Persi weren’t able to cope with Danish squad, whose ranking standing is much lower. The Germans are traditionally in a good shape while playing in top rank tournaments. […]

Hardly anybody had expected that after the first match against Holland the Danes would have 3 points on their account. But they managed it! In duel with Oranje, the Olsen team’s defense played like during a concert; in consequence, they were rewarded by acquisition of complete set of points and their prospects to advance from their group are favorable. But can they really be sure of this? Let’s consider the next rival of Danish team, i.e. the squad of Portugal. They lost in turn their first match at Euro 2012 […]

Those who had expected a hit, must be disappointed. After a weak game in Donetsk the French achieved a draw against England scoring 1:1 and it is difficult to believe, that those teams will be able to reach the European championships semifinal. If somebody considered the French medal candidates, after the yesterday’s match he knows that he was wrong. The coach Laurent Blanc was right while asking after eliminations not to expect wonders from him. There were moments when his players didn’t seem to be a football team at all. […]

In Group D the fans will be watching a classical match between France and England. Les Bleus, the 16th team in FIFA ranking will measure their strength with Sons of Albion who in that ranking are on position seven. It is very difficult to foresee in what shape players of both teams will arrive at the tournament. At some of the previous events of this kind they accustomed their fans to very unstable play. Both French and English have won their elimination groups. The expectations of both teams’ fans are […]
