Posted on by index

Robert Lewandowski is by far the more well-known player in the Poland national team as he is a regular starter in Bayern Munich and widely considered to be the as most talented footballer that has emerged from Poland in the past decade.


The 28 year old player is the captain of Poland and he has been scoring goals at a consistent basis not only for Bayern Munich but for his national squad as well. It’s because of this that Robert Lewandowski was recently named as the best Polish footballer of 2016 for the past 6 years in a row.

Poland are currently at the top spot of Group E as the head coach Adam Nawalka and his squad have collected 10 points from their 4 opening qualification matches.

Poland coach Adam Nawalka has been rewarded with a new contract after having guided the national team to the Euro 2016 quarter-finals.


They were beaten by Portugal only on penalties after having ended the tournament undefeated.

This was one of the best performances by Poland on the international scene since a very long time, and the Poland Football Association does not want to disrupt the team preparation.

It is believed that the new deal will see Adam Nawalka remains as the Poland coach until the end of the next World Cup in Russia.

Adam Nawalka took charge of Poland in 2013 and had successfully guided the Poland team through the Euros 2016 qualifiers and brought them all the way to the quarter-finals.

Poland made a risky move over the weekend by trying out an experimental lineup in one of their games.

Grosicki and Wszolek both scored two goals separately though so the experiment seemed to work out just fine. This gave Poland the edge against Finland to completely dominate them with a 5 point lead, leaving Finland with 0 points. They now have a winning streak of five games and are eyeing the Euro 2016.

Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich was left on the bench in the first half of the game. This decision was made after the loan winger from Fiorentina named Jakub Blasczykowski was also benched. However, in the late game, the winning goal was actually scored by the benched players. This was only a friendly game versus Serbia on Wednesday but currently Poland is trying out some experimental techniques and lineups that they don’t traditionally do.

Poland scored three goals before the break had even occurred so the game was actually over well before it was officially over. By halftime, the game was over as a contest and not something that could be salvaged. The Brazilian goalkeeper Guilherme also made a little bit of history as he defended the goal from Russia in a halftime as a substitute player. This allowed Russia to dominate Lithuania with a 3 to 0 game. Continue reading “Poland made a risky move over the weekend”
