Can either host score in their opener? Can the Germans live up to their high expectations? Is it a replay of Slavic Europe vs Germanic Europe, or is it just a game with a ball?
All this and more in Sunday’s games…
Having the three Polish born players on the German squad makes the geopolitical interpretation a bit more complicated.
Not to mention the fact that two of the Slav squads are coached by Dutchmen.
Looking at this match in Vienna is a reminder of the downside of using multi-purpose venues for the tournament — crowd is very far from the action, especially at the ends.
No goals for the hosts…
Poor Poland. They lost because the Polish-born Podolski scored two goals.
Of course the host team struggles a part of it but it would be nice if any match had featured more than one team scoring.
I guess it was a fair deal this sunday: poland’s podolski made germany win and germany’s bmw allowed poland’s kubica to win.
