Poland Met Germany. Again

June 9, 2008 – 3:11 am | by admin

At EURO 2008 Poland met Germany for the second time in three summers. In 2006, Poland faced Germany in the finals of FIFA World Cup. Germany won at the time, and they did the same also at EURO 2008.

This time, however, it was Lukas Podolski, a Poland-born football player that broke his native country’s heart with two remarkable goals. This way, Germany won EURO 2008’s Group B’s first game, while Poland was left alone with their darkest thoughts ever! Will they be better than Croatia?

With Germany and Croatia taking maximum points from their first games, Poland’s Euzebiusz Smolarek says that now there is no room left for error for his side. If they want to stay alive at EURO 2008, they simply have to win their remaining two matches. “We have to play Austria next and we must win that one if we are to have any chance and then we also have to beat Croatia and that won’t be easy. The Germany game is gone now and we have to put it behind us. We will think about the game, we have a two-hour drive home so we have time to think and talk. We will wake up on Monday morning and talk again, but then we have to forget about this game and move on,” Euzebiusz Smolarek also said.
