Poland Sports News

It's shocking that they had to play in such conditions, btw:

That is why there are voices demanding the resignation of the WTA leader - he is accused of incompetence and negligence.
PS. Strange that PiS rightist infection is spreading onto people in other countries.

Liverpool vs Manchester city today 12:30 GMT, should be tasty :)

Poland grew apparently since the last time I checked :)

Looks like Legia hooligans are attacking the Aston Villa stadium because they're not allowed in.

Hopefully there will be plenty of arrests.

"A statement from Birmingham Police said: "We're currently unable to allow away fans into Villa Park following disorder outside the stadium which has seen missiles thrown at officers. Three officers have already been injured & a significant policing operation continues. Please avoid Witton Lane where possible."

63 arrests, three police officers injured (one set on fire) and the Legia Hooligans were also setting off flares (illegal at U.K. sports events) and attacking vehicles. Hopefully Legia will be banned by UEFA from taking part in international tournaments.

They behaved like Roman legionaries.

That's not a high bar.

Hopefully Legia will be banned from Europe.

@jon357
It is often that a host stadium sells too few seats for opposing fans to Enter to try and increase their chances of winning. I bet that's what happened here and why Legia fans did what they did. Never the less, I hope they get banned. Not only do I see Legia as rivals, but also a shame to Warsaw. Hope that Club finally disappears and "Palace of culture" with it

Tickets were restricted by the police well in advance on the basis of specific intelligence that the hools were planning trouble and Legia's owners refused to cooperate. Additionally, some hools brought flares which are illegal.


The same. It seems their management are as bad as their ultras.


I prefer Warzawa Polonia myself.

Additionaly?..I would say traditionally

They refused to give out the tickets number specified by UEFA, they agreed with the club on lower number but without a word reduced that too (that according to the Polish journalists).

That being said that is obviously no excuse for what happened and the participants should be punished.

They reduced the allocation on the very wise advice of the police. Legia refused to cooperate with UEFA, the host club and the police. Nor did they bother to pass on the information to their fans, many of whom travelled without tickets and with the sole intention of committing crimes.

Pretty well the same way the hools (and the club's shameful 'management') behaved at Alkmaar and other matches. All Polish clubs need to be banned from international tournaments until they deal with hooliganism. Just banning Legia alone isn't enough to stop the institutionalised violence.


Better to take the official police statement more seriously than Polish 'journalists'.


Not in the UK. They are illegal at sports events for very good reasons.


They certainly will be, however the problem needs to be addressed within Poland before there's a major tragedy.

Buahaha. Love that one. Group responsibility?

Tough.


Of course.

The problem is too big and too systemic to be dealt with by only banning Legia.

Is this a joke? Did you people see what happened in paris during the champions league final? Just wait till the Olympics that will be a riot (literally)

Hopefully they've learnt their lesson from poor organisation before, however Olympics visitors are unlikely to riot and large groups of Polish 'ultras' can't afford tickets or the crazy prices for hotels during the Games anyway.

A bigger worry is terrorism, however the security is going to be crazy strong. Even then, there's always a risk.

the first australian coach in the EPL, when he got appointed, the poms and the zyds said who the hell is this guy? Well now u know. Ange doing a great job at Tottenham. And changing english football.

Hahaha a bit of a melee between Tottenham and Bournemouth staff yesterday, but Ange Postecoglou's reason why is priceless 😂 That's classic aussie humour! :) :)

After yesterday's play-offs to Euro 2024 in Germany we know that Polish, Ukrainian and Georgian footballers will be playing in this year's European Championship.

We also know that Russian footballers will still be playing only with their dicks (or with Serbia, which is pretty much the same thing ;))

Hey, Russia - maybe, just maybe, it would be a good time to stop invasions in Europe and rejoin the great, happy Football Family. *high five*

I'm probably the best ameture soccer player there ever was, I can play like CR7 OR Ronaldionho. I think I come from sprint runners in genes and also public speaking. REF: 23&me

Maybe it's better not to rejoin anything, because they would start another football war for sure.

Excellent news.


Corrupt anyway. And nobody wants their fans.


Perhaps they could film that and put it online.

They spoiled it for everyone on their last visit with state sponsored hooliganism in France.

Their drunk yobs were of course praised by North Nigerian politicians

But anyway this is a happy event so lets talk about the football

Poland - no chance
Serbia - might be a dark horse for the semi finals
Ukraine - quarter finals
England - one of the favorites but I think quarter finals

I think I'm the only one interested but it's VNL again. Poland had no problems so far. Today playing against The Netherlands. 1 - 0 for Poland so far but it took them a bit to win that set.

Polish Women Volleyball team is in the second week of VNL and they are undefeated! Pretty nice, looking forward to next games.

Doesn't Poland have any transgender women who play volleyball?

How about asking some volleyball guys to self-identify as women and win the damn thing in straight sets?

BTW, Lenka, do you know the definition of a woman?

Some Russian sports men and women who were banned from international sport events are joining Polish teams in order to participate. What surprises me is they get the permission from their Russian sport organisations. Amasing!!!

What surprises me even more is that Polish sport authorities have nothing against. Simply unbelievable.

At the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued an appeal to international sports federations, recommending that they do not allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in any competitions.

In 2022, the International Skating Union (ISU) suspended athletes from Russia from competitions. For now, the issue of the Russians' return to the international arena has not been raised. The last tournament for Russian figure skaters was the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

Russian figure skaters, Oleg Muratov and Anatoly Belovodchenko, have obtained permission from the Russian Figure Skating Federation to compete in Polish colors. This decision opens up new opportunities for them in international competitions, despite ongoing restrictions imposed on Russian athletes by the International Skating Union (ISU).
