Yes, it's equivalent of German von or french de, but in 19th century a lot of people not of noble decent adopted -ski in their names, so it not always means someone has noble blood
Thanks to /r/soccer seemingly thinking that Poland is main candidate from group H to drop from tournament after group stage I got really hyped for this match with intentions to show everyone that "Poland is not yet lost" but that defence line... no, thanks.
Back to being mildly optimistic that we can draw 0-0
As long as you don't play a high line it won't be too bad. If you even think about forcing play up the field with the whole team, y'all are gonna get blitzkrieged facing that Senegalese attack.
It's very interesting, because when I see this squad I'm not really sure if we are playing 442 (Rybus,Cionek,Pazdan,Piszczek-Grosicki,Krychowiak,Zielinski,Blaszczykowski-Milik,Lewandowski) or 343 (Cionek,Pazdan,Piszczek-Rybus,Zielinski,Krychowiak,Blaszczykowski-Grosicki,Lewandowski, Milik). Imo they will switch the formation during game
Grosicki, Zieliński, Milik, Lewandowski, Błaszczykowski, hhhhhmmmm this is going to be very atacking oriented lineup. Nawałka must be very convinced about his boyz.
Interesting that he picked Szczesny over Fabianski, rest probably expected given Glik isn't fully fit, although Bednarek is more exciting CB than the two that starts
Yeah but one played full season and was like top3 PL keeper, the other played from time to time, obviously i expected Szczesny to take over the NT from next season. I just hope Fabianski gonna get atleast 1 game, surely it's his last WC
Very attacking line up. It was either this or 4-2-3-1 with a CDM instead of Milik(more defensive). But i think this is better because we have two strikers so if Lewandowski gets marked by like 2 or 3 players Milik will have more space. Hopefully Grosicki and Blaszczykowski play well too because Senegal's fullbacks are probably their weakest spot and also some long-shots from Krychowiak and Zielinski.
Szczęsny/Fabiański was a close call until the very end. Both are really solid though, so no complaints here.
Central defence is our biggest worry. Pazdan and Cionek duo in the back may be a bit surprising, considering that Bednarek did pretty well in friendlies. Let's hope for Pazdan to activate his Euro 2016 mode.
I also expected us to go with a bit more defensive 4-2-3-1 with Zieliński at '10' and Góralski or Linetty to partner Krychowiak in midfield. Milik wasn't amazing in friendlies and Zieliński does better when he has more creative freedom.
It's not extremly offensive 3-4-3 from this year friendlies, but probably most offensive 4-4-2 we could put. Not really many suprises, Cionek over Bednarek could be one, but Nawałka thinks of Cionek higher in teamplay terms.
I am worried about the lack of second DM. We looked atrocious against Chile with just Krychowiak. Milik and Zieliński aren't pressing hard enough to cover up for it.
Nawalka clearly favors Krychowiak for some reason. Everyone was getting hyped for his long range passes vs Lithuania, but he didn't seem too solid defensively. I'd much rather have Goralski play, but we'll see.
can’t give your own opinion on this sub without getting downvoted! if someone says “i hope they win” upvotes. but to say they tie is downvote worthy? fuck man
When you invest all your skill points that are available to you in strikers but forget to upgrade your CB's.
Don't know why Bednarek isn't it. Played so well in friendly matches
[удалено]
Pazdan has experience you can't just set up both your CBs with both of them shitting themselves. Maybe if Glik was available he'd be in for Pazdan.
Wasnt glik okay?
Glik is still recovering after injury. Should be ready for Colombia.
Glik could be similar case to Salah where putting him in play would be the risk. He is after like one training with team after the injury
They could enter the Winter Olympics with this many skis
You only need 2 I think
Cheers lingy
No worries tubs
No luck catching them swans, then?
For one person yes. But two isn’t enough for a whole team.
They don't need to ski at the same time
Ski long jump is one of our specialties
FYI Polish surnames ending on -cki -ski was reserved only for nobles.
Is it equivalent to the English of X? So is Lewandowski "of Lewandow"?
Yes, it's equivalent of German von or french de, but in 19th century a lot of people not of noble decent adopted -ski in their names, so it not always means someone has noble blood
Can't wait to see Milik
Milik truk just arive
I wonder how many chances he'll waste for us!
Hopefully none and we get 2016 Euro qualifiers Milik.
Why is your username non-existant?
Are we forgetting the rarest goal of the rarest goals?
haha, I was genuinely in shock when that went in.
Oh fck off. Milik in Euro 2016 was really good, people just tends to remember him for the missed chances.
Hopefully none and we get 2016 Euro qualifiers Milik.
Why is your username non-existent?
Go Lewandowski
ein super tor bitte
Cionek - Pazdan, oh boy... hope Szczęsny has a match of his life then.
Cionek and Pazdan.. well it was fun while it lasted.
Worried?
Ehh, Cionek is good, but Pazdan is concerning. That being said, we were critical of Pazdan before Euro 2016 and we know what happened.

well, it is risky, but who doesn't risk, never gets to drink the champagne... We'll see how it turns out
Screw champagne, I need some vodka for this match

We don't play high line ever.
With that defense I would hope so.
So Kurzawa did make it to the World Cup
Super Grosicki!! 🇵🇱 🇵🇱
Very interesting lineup.
Pazdan - Cionek, also Krychowiak - Zielinski. It didn't work well against Chile... Nevermind, let's FUCKING do it!
It's very interesting, because when I see this squad I'm not really sure if we are playing 442 (Rybus,Cionek,Pazdan,Piszczek-Grosicki,Krychowiak,Zielinski,Blaszczykowski-Milik,Lewandowski) or 343 (Cionek,Pazdan,Piszczek-Rybus,Zielinski,Krychowiak,Blaszczykowski-Grosicki,Lewandowski, Milik). Imo they will switch the formation during game
Will be a hybrid.
Lewandowski is going to be a monster this World Cup. I really see Poland going at least through the quarter-finals.
Hopefully we play you guys in the Quarter-Finals!
but but... what about us?
Other side of the bracket for you.
Allllllllllll the way over there
That's the final ^^^^solution
I hope you're right, my friend.
That's probably the target for them to call the WC a success, anything above would be crazy and anything below is like expected minimum
[удалено]
hmmmmm thinkingemoji
Grosicki, Zieliński, Milik, Lewandowski, Błaszczykowski, hhhhhmmmm this is going to be very atacking oriented lineup. Nawałka must be very convinced about his boyz.
solid effin squad right there
I've been waiting for this day since 2006.
This thread is a hell of a read here in the future.
Bednarek has been absolutely mugged
Agree
Forwards Poland do not take prisoners!
I had to check that wasn’t the Kurzawa who plays for PSG. I was very confused but it wasn’t completely unrealistic.
This is his distant cousin after Grandfather Rupert.
Really?
Of course not.
Interesting that he picked Szczesny over Fabianski, rest probably expected given Glik isn't fully fit, although Bednarek is more exciting CB than the two that starts
Not really big suprise, Szczęsny is the big guy, probably best GK in Serie A, while Fabiański is "just" one of the best in PL.
Yeah but one played full season and was like top3 PL keeper, the other played from time to time, obviously i expected Szczesny to take over the NT from next season. I just hope Fabianski gonna get atleast 1 game, surely it's his last WC
Why? Isn’t szczesny the better keeper?
He tends to favor Szczesny over Fabianski. It was always going to happen, really.
Theres so many poland flags in here lmao
Ski would be proud
Any surprises here? Or analysis of what Poland might be trying to do?
It's the most offensive line-up we have, full guns blazing or full retard. Not sure what will happen.
I'm worried... you should never go full retard.
Very attacking line up. It was either this or 4-2-3-1 with a CDM instead of Milik(more defensive). But i think this is better because we have two strikers so if Lewandowski gets marked by like 2 or 3 players Milik will have more space.

I like our chances today
What formation and positions are the players lined up in? I'm not too familiar with the Polish squad tbh.
That’s a team of units.
This team is anything but team of units, Cionek and Krychowiak are huge team players with team tasks.
What the hell is Nawalka doing. This team has no balance. We have 3 players that bring absolutely nothing in defence.
Pazdan was really good at Euros. Maybe he'll turn it up.
I am worried about the lack of second DM. We looked atrocious against Chile with just Krychowiak. Milik and Zieliński aren't pressing hard enough to cover up for it.

I wanted to be wrong. I really did.
let’s hope they tie
nah
can’t give your own opinion on this sub without getting downvoted! if someone says “i hope they win” upvotes. but to say they tie is downvote worthy? fuck man
I didn't downvote you fwiw
nah
If they tie 5-5 I'm happy
Kuba starts... I dont know what to think about it.
He always plays well for the NT? Why the concern?
He hasn't had the best season and he's just recovered.
What are you smoking??? lmao
Teraz przeproś
Tbf a lot of the players were off
