Poland Sports News - part 2

@mafketis

You obviously don't understand and can't properly comprehend historic Serbian - Russian relations. Serbs have not made it exactly a secret that they support Russia in the war in Ukraine as they consider the Russians as their brothers.

Polish media seems to be very pessimistic: "Lech to lose against Zvezda?"





This pessimistic headline from the Poles is certainly somewhat surprising.

Crvena Zvezda is the favorite over the two legs, but at the "Enea" stadium, a "hot" home field, in front of about 40,000 fiery fans, they will have to do their best to defeat Niels Frederiksen's team.

The match in Poznan is scheduled for 20:30, while the second leg is in Belgrade in six days.

"Lech strąci Czerwoną Gwiazdę" has a different meaning.

GOOOOOAAALLL!!!

Crvena Zvezda is ahead in Poznan.

🙂

Good game by Crvena but modern football is highly retarded: Champion of Poland - 4 Poles in the starting 11, Champion of Serbia - 1 Serb (one!) in the starting 11. What's the point? How can fans even identify with such "Polish" and "Serbian" teams where Poles and Serbs are in minority in starting elevens?

Gazprom fixed the game. 😀


Club football is about putting the best team on field that you can afford, so I'm not sure if it's retarded. However, there is something about having homegrown talent heavily represented on the roster. The MLS rules say only a certain percentage of roster can be non-American. Is there such in Ekstraklasa?

State-owned company subsidizing a foreign football club (plus heavy subsidies from Serbian state-owned companies). Pensioners on sh*t money, atrocious health service, under-financed education, but state subsidizing Brazilian and Angolan football players xD.

As I said - modern football is retarded.

As for foreigners in Ekstraklasa: maximum of 2 non-EU can be fielded in the first 11. EU nationals are not even considered foreign. xD

Instead of fighting in pubs with Ukrainians or Poles couldn't they show their love for North Nigeria by volunteering for a stint in the muddy trenches of Pokrovsk, with a crappy 1950s rifle ?

A-ha, so you can have as many Swedes with Swedish sounding names like Ishkar as you want.

That is correct. A creative owner can have a club consisting only of Bulgarians or the Irish if he wishes - from the football point of view they are not foreigners in Ekstraklasa. xD

@Torq

But those players should assimilate, change names to McCloskeyowski, Sullivaniak.

Yesterday, three cyclists from the Tour de Pologne got into the elevator I was riding with. We only rode two floors together, so there was no conversation. I wonder if the one who had the serious accident yesterday was among them? 🤔

Match Report:

Lech Poznań face uphill battle after losing Champions League first leg



tvpworld.com/88217479/lech-poznan-face-uphill-battle-after-losing-champions-league-first-leg

Zvezdan Terzić (General Director) congratulated Crvena Zvezda, but still calls for caution: This is (only) the first half - nothing is over yet!



Zvezdan Terzić: "Crvena Zvezda is better, in footballing terms of more quality than Dynamo Kyiv.." 💪🏻🔴⚪

Red Star General Director Zvezdan Terzić congratulated the players and coaching staff on the great victory last night in Poznań, where Lech of Poland was defeated 3:1 in the first leg of the doubleheader for the Champions League.

The Serbian team gained a big advantage before the rematch of the 3rd qualifying round on August 12, when in front of their fans they will try to win a place in the play-off round, where the better team from the duel Paphos - Dynamo Kyiv awaits them.

"I congratulate our football players and coaching staff on their exceptional success, as well as my closest colleagues who made a great contribution to all these results.

We beat the champion of Poland on a difficult road trip and once again showed how much we are growing as a club from season to season.

We achieved a great victory and made a significant advantage, but there is no relaxation. Nothing is finished. This was only the first half. The Polish champions showed that they are an excellent team last night as well. We have a difficult game in the second leg. We must be maximally focused in the preparation of the return match.

Once again, I use the opportunity to invite the fans to come to Maracana in as many numbers as possible against TSC, and then to fill it to the last place in the rematch against Lech.

We need a full stadium and great support from the fans so that everyone can rejoice together at the end. Let's go step by step to the Champions League. The next one is on Tuesday at the Maracana," said Terzić.

Lech will be better off playing in Europa League or even Conference - more possibility of getting points to country ranking for Poland and victory bonuses. In Champions League they would be whipping boys.

F*cking UEFA is going to punish them for the "Kosovo je Srbija" banner :( Hopefully they won't close Lech's stadium for European home games.

This has nothing to do with Poland? Why did they do it?

For this any Polish fans who decide to make the trip to Belgrade today for the return match between Crvena Zvezda and Lech Poznan will be welcomed as heroes.

This only shows there is a big difference between Polish people and the Polish government.

Delije - UEFA MAFIA - KOSOVO JE SRBIJA!

#UEFA supports terrorism! #fkcz

👍👍👍

F*ck UEFA! Kosovo je Srbija forever! 💪

Poles in the centre of Belgrade



The Poles have arrived in Belgrade



Lech, reinforced by Cracovia and ŁKS fans, arrived in Belgrade.

The Poles are already in the city center. Considering the mutual respect of these two nations, as well as the support of the Poles on the issue of Kosovo, I do not expect riots.

In addition, both Lech and Zvezda have very good relations with Spartak Moscow fans.

Crvena Zvezda publicly thanked the fans of Lech Poznan for displaying the Kosovo is Serbia banner at their stadium.

Poles have more important things to worry about right now

this is the message that Maccabi fans sent to them yesterday



the Polish government has already forced the Israeli embassy in Warsaw to issue an urgent apology this morning

they are also looking for a reaction from UEFA

Firstly, there weren't many of them, secondly, they were probably thinking about themselves, right?
