Pallamanski · 18.06.2008, 22:01. Evaluating our Euro 2008 performance!

Hey bros!

I just wanna come with my perspectives on Polands performance in Euro 2008!

Expectations:

I was fairly optimistic I must say. Mostly because this time, a foreign trener was coaching Poland. Also because of the brilliant qualification campaign. If Poland could play like they did at home against Portugal fx then there would be a fair chance of progress to the quarter finals.

Evauation for:

Goalkeeper:

By far exceeded the expectations. Artur Boruc was outside the ranking! He was phenomenal. But one player doesn't make a squad. He can go home with his head up high among some of the few!

Defenders:

Simply embarrasing! I have never seen a defence being so undertimened, so unsecure and so poor! Jacek Bak and Mariusz Job's defending was horrifying to look at! Pawel Golanski was supposed to show that he has the class but failed misserably! Only bright spot was Kokoszka and Wawrzyniak who did fairly good.
A DEFENCE SHOULD NOT PLAY WITH A FUCKING OFFSIDE TRAP IF THEY'RE HALF WAY ASLEEP!

Midfield:

Lewandowski tried to do his best. Dudka seemed unable to match the high pase of the games but fought decent. The problem of the midfield was not the handle of the ball but the lack of ideas! Bright spot was Roger Guerrero; he had the ideas but few of his teammates showed determination to follow them!

Attack:

Smolarek mostly alone with no support is not a good Ebi! I was happy when Zurawski got injured because he plays like shit! Saganowski wasn't much better! I'd like to have seen Pawel Brozek there!

Overall evaluation:

Beenhakker unfortunately made the same mistakes as Janas! Playing most games with midfield defending more than creating or attacking! And some times with only 1 striker! The offside strategy was ridicoules... the central defenders was far too slow to execute this well.
I think last place in the group are well derserved... I still think the penalty against Austria was a travesty! But we were far away from the class of Croatia and Germany sadly!

Only bright thing is that France was a greater let-down than us!

What do you all think?

Pozdrawiam!
