Finally the Poles are getting some players into some respected leagues. Some of you may know that one of Poland's starting strikers in the 2002 World Cup was Pawel Kryszalowicz, a guy who was playing for a second division German team. Poland is doing slightly better, now we have Grzegorz Rasiak who has unexpectedly moved to Tottenham to help the Spurs, and Maciej Zurawski who now plays for Celtic and will hopefully enjoy some success. Poland also has two goalkeepers in the Isles, Boruc who along with "Magic" Zurawski plays for Celtic and Jerzy Dudek, who helped Liverpool to the European championship last year. Of course we also have Kamil Kosowski who plays for a 2nd Division side Southampton, Frankowski who made an awful move from Polish champion Wisla to perennial 2nd division La Liga team Elche. I have to maintain that I feel better about Poland in 2006 then I did in 2002. Now all that needs to be done is a sound defeat of England in Wembley, easier said than done.
