There's only 36 days to UEFA Euro 2012 Poland-Ukraine(?)

What are your thoughts? Do you have your favourite national team? What is it? Are you excited with championships?

I'd like to see Germany - Netherlands finale. Both teams play beautiful football, and I simply enjoy watching them.

Of course I will cheer Polish team to win, but I'm not that optimistic.

Oh, by the way, what do you think about some hipocritic politics "boycotts" ?

Ps. Here's the Polish OFFICIAL song for Polish national team:

Yes. This is for real. The nation chose that song. Fortunatelly for the world, it's just the official Polish NATIONAL TEAM song...

Mmm Germany nah I don't see many germans in their team and kinda hate them for that... I personally will love to see Spain - Netherlands final again.

Poland can get out of that group if that kid from Borussia Dortmund - Levandovski ,has a day :)
Sadly my country misses another Euro championship ...

To be honest I will like to see a suprise final Poland - Croatia ... but I doubt this will happen :D
Poland has a strong chance to get out from the group, with Lewandowski, Blaszczykowski and Piszczek from Borussia Dortmund, but I doubt they will go far from it.

And what do you mean by german national team is not national? For example, Boateng and Ozil were both born and breaded in Germany.

They don't have "German" names, but they are clearly more German than some dudes from Polish national team, for example.
I'm not biased. I'm for the better team that is going to win (Germany of course).
If Germany plays the same football they showed at the World Cup then they are my favorites.

Boateng,Ozil,Kedira,Podolski... Hitler is rolling in his coufin when he hears this name. And check the german under 17 team... Yildiz,Mujezinovic,Öztürk,Ekin... this is not normal...

You have 2 Frenchman in your national team...and to be honest ...your team is quite good as individuals....
Szczęsny,Piszczek,Błaszczykowski,Obraniak,Lewandowski & Jeleń....and the whole team is quite young 25-27y.o.

So yes I think Poland have a good chance to go to Semi-Finals...

Well, well, well. Blunt racism. Haven't it this obvious in a long time. They are born and raised here, they are as much german as I am. Only because my heritage also lies here doesn't make them less of a german than me. Some of them speak better german than I do, actually. And as they are proper germans, they are under my protection. So fuck off.

And to come back to football, all of our national players were born and raised in german clubs, which is something really good, imo.
Exactly. Germany is multicultural country. They don't have familiar (German) names, but they are just as German as Phillip Lahm.

Maybe except for Podolski, but he lives in Germany for a time long enough to be in national team, imho. Also, Polish football federation rejected him, when he applied for national team.
And I'm glad they did. Lukas Podolski wouldn't be as great as he is, if he trained in Poland.

No it is not racism at all... Yes they make the team better,but for instance... I don't see a lot of the young talents Germany already have .
I don't see Gotze & Marin playing very often.. and recently you coach calls Marco Reus to the team... Don't get me wrong Ozil is a great player but he should play for Turkey not for the Mannschaft

Because Bundesliga has one of the greatest teams in Europe, so you have plenty to choose from ;-) But yes, this is a great thing, because all of your players understand the German way. What I mean by that? Beautiful AND effective football. And deadly counter-attacks.

Kevin Prince Boateng is born in Germany too...but yet he plays for his country ...and his brother plays for Germany :)
Klose is polish too ;)

OZIL WAS BORN IN GERMANY DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? How can you say that he should play for Turkey just because his ancestors are from there?

Klose was born in Poland, but he moved to Germany when he was a little kid. He speaks German better than Polish. In fact, he doesn't even want to speak in Polish. He feels more like German than Pollack. And good for him.

Marco Reus is also German. I don't get what you're saying. Gotze is a great player too, so is Leitner, but they both have very good substutions. They're not irreplaceable.

So please stop with all this "his parents / grandparents are not from germany so he is not german and he should play for teams in africa!!!!" because it is racist.

Ps. It's also a good sign for Germany, when "Hitler is rolling in his coffin".

Well, he wasn't really raised in the best club (although it is my favourite), so he might just have been as good in Poland as in Germany ;-). But he needs a fitting team, not even a strong one, but one he likes. I wonder how he will be doing in England.

And if you hear him talking, you can see that he is as pure of a "kölsche jung" (cologne original) as they come.

Yet his brother>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%B4me_Boateng

You can't reason with racists, just ignore him.
