France - England 0:4:)

Another point collected after the draw 2:2 against France. Very hard match with, I must say, supporting luck. The first half fully in line with our expectations and seeing the situation on the pitch the result seemed rather safe. Coach of France changed the tactic in ~40' when we led 2:1. From that moment we were losing ball possession and France had more good situations, however our defence as well as goalkeeper did the job. Finally we collected a point in another game against the stronger team (match statistics 81.8 vs 76.8).

After todays games we still lead the Group A:

Team Games Wins Draws Losses Goals Points
1. England 2 1 1 0 4-3 4
2. Italia 2 1 0 1 4-2 3
3. France 2 0 2 0 3-3 2
4. Brasil 2 0 1 1 1-4 1

In a week the last group stage game. We will play our best to win against Brasil and do not focus on points' calculations :-)

*2 best teams are promoted to the next round


How it might evolve?
Current group situation together with remaining games indicate there will be promoted one team from the game Italia - France and one from the game England - Brasil. England to promote cannot lose with the difference more than 2 goals. It's not a bad situation but also not relaxing. Brasil and their supporters still strongly believe thay will win 3:0 and go forward as this NT has been considered as one of WC favourites to the title.

What a loss 1-5 with Brazil it was totally unfair from the moment my goal keeper got a slight concussion things began to go wrong.In the second half i had to change the tactic which flopped when we got a one on one with a goal keeper it failed 6 times.I am very frustrated in the game. Unfortunaly i am going to take a break from representing it, in the next game Lucas will represent us.Thank you for all the time and i wish good luck for the next Trainer.Thanks Piotr.

Tough break today :-(

Unlucky Piotr, so close, up until that game you did really well.

tomorrow Lukasz debuted as a coach. I only helped his a little with the players. we will see how he does, wish him all the best.

great scores.. good luck on next games .

One remark to the friendly game with Turkey today - we both will play U27 so a bit of testing before upcoming EC U27.

:) Thanks
