Poland 1-1 Holland: A very good display from the Biało-Czerwoni, all things considered
Image via @LaczyNasPilka on Twitter A slightly under-strength Poland managed to earn a 1-1 draw against the Dutch at Stadion Narodowy in Warszawa. Jakub Kamiński’s opener at the close of the first half was cancelled out by a Memphis delay leveller shortly after the second half began, although it has to be said that for large parts of both halves it was Poland who were the more threatening team. Nicola Zalewski missed a gilt-edged chance barely a minute into the contest, as

Poland vs Holland: preview and predicted line-up
Image via @LaczyNasPilka on Twitter Poland play Holland tonight at Stadion Narodowy in Warszawa, in what looks set to be something of a key match for the hosts. Judging from what I’ve read of the Dutch press, and indeed reading between the lines of coach Ronald Koeman’s words as well, the visitors appear happy to settle for a draw. Part of me thinks this is largely due to the fact that Poland earned a slightly unexpected draw in the return leg in Rotterdam two months ago, i

A candid Lewandowski, an optimistic Urban and positional problems as Poland’s training camp for November begins in earnest
Image via @LaczyNasPilka on Twitter Articles are coming thick and fast on the website these last few days, but for good reason: there’s an awful lot going on in the world of Polish football, and I feel a lot of it really is worth commenting on. Firstly I think it’s best discussing this afternoon’s press conference, at which both captain Robert Lewandowski and Selekcjoner Jan Urban spoke to the assembled media. Lewandowski has certainly been in the headlines this past 48 hou

Injuries hit Poland’s squad, Lewandowski scores a hat-trick before flying to New York and why are Legia so bad? A round-up of talking points as we begin the international break
Images via @LaczyNasPilka, @FCBarcelona and @LegiaWarszawa on Twitter A fairly entertaining weekend for Polish football as we head into the last international break of 2025, with both good and bad occurring within the context of the national team and Polish football as a whole. By far the things which will most affect the two games Poland play against Holland and Malta are the two injuries which have struck down two members of the squad you assume would be nailed-on starters

Poland’s November squad: Jan Urban shows he’s capable of surprising us with his call-ups, but are they helpful?
Image via @LaczyNasPilka on Twitter This morning, Jan Urban announced his latest Poland squad for November’s crucial World Cup qualifiers against Holland and Malta. Whilst you would assume the Biało-Czerwoni to be underdogs in their initial game against the Dutch in Warszawa, they should be considered comfortable favourites away to the Maltese. That being said, it was a very pleasant surprise when Poland navigated a 1-1 draw away in Rotterdam, so there is every chance that in

Today’s we’ll be speaking about Matty Cash getting his great form rewarded with a new contract at Aston Villa, Grzegorz Krychowiak hanging up his boots, th

Casting an eye back over the international break just gone, and looking ahead to Poland’s games in November (plus U-21s chat!)
Images via @LaczyNasPilka on Twitter With the conclusion of October’s international break, I thought it’d be worth taking a look at it as a whole in retrospect, plus throwing it forward to the potential problems of the next international break as well as the stunning work being done by Jerzy Brzęczek and the players at U-21 level. In hindsight, all the worrying and negativity in the light of the narrow friendly win over New Zealand seemed like ancient history after the partic
