Germany 3-2

Germany always comes ready to play... Poland always comes out flat
Germany has won 11 of the last 15 against Poland... Poland has won 0 of the last 15 against Germany
Germany has won 3 European Championships... Poland has never been in a European Championship

3-0 Germany

Germany shouldn't have problems in defeating Poland, but it's football, so we really don't know. 3-1 Germany

I've got mostly German blood, but my gf is all Polish. I can't side lol

I'm looking foward to this game later on. I always enjoy watching the German's play, and Ballack was very entertaining for Chelsea this past season. As for Poland, I don't know a huge amount about them!! The soccer forum on here is going to be packed if a thread is done for ever game of the Euro's!!!

I'm also surprised at the Soccer forum lately; 2-3 months before, this section was almost dead!

Podolski scored after a great pass from Miroslav Klose. Germany 1-0

could have been a lot more

According to logics, they should have a 2-3 goal difference against the Polish

Poland missed that one great chance when the right wing beat the defender and passed it to the wide open forward.

right at the start

FT Germany 2 - 0 Poland

half-time (1 - 0)

WHOOOOO PODOLSKI!!!!!!

That 2nd one was a cracker!!!

Poland impressed me

For good or bad? I watched a bit of the match because I had to study. Luckily I could see the first goal

played well in second half especially the brazilian kid

Oh yes, I heard about him: Guerreiro, had a couple of interesting moves
