...in european football tournaments :) for polish football, I mean. why? well, no polish club has played in Champions League since 1994. Yeah, it's not a mistake - 17 years since Legia managed to qualify to group stage, and consequently to 1/8 finals of the knock-out.
But the coming week may eventually bring a turn of the tide.Wisła Kraków has won the 1st leg of 4th round in CL qualifiers 1:0 over APOEL Nicosia. We all hope then that this is a good prognosis before the 2nd leg and that we will finally see a decent polish club in football elite.What's more, we have also 2 clubs in final qualifiers round for Europa League, former UEFA Cup. Legia Warsaw drawn home with Spartak Moscow 2:2 and Śląsk Wrocław just kicks off vs. Rapid Bucuresti, romanian champion.
So beware, Europe, Poland is coming to show off before Euro 2012! We put really big deal of hope in our boys. We'[ve missed a real challenge in Europe since 17 years, despite having clubs in Europa League recently (Lech Poznań qualified for EL 2 times in a row, reaching 1/8 finals both times) and we do hope that this year we'll be watching good football not only in the TV. We also hope, that tough european challenges will season our top players before Euro, so that out national team will stand firm against Europe best teams. And it's really a big deal, as Euro takes place in Poland and Ukraine, as you may know. There are pretty stadiums being built, what we are still lacking is a good national team to excite the crowds next year.
So, hail to Śląsk, Legia and Wisła! Go, boys, go!
As an incentive, have a look on Wisła scoring against APOEL:
let me show you my piece of Poland, a country long time ago, in galaxy far, far away. well, perhaps not so far for some of you.
