Germany vs Poland

[Eeyore]

Imagine if England had failed to beat Poland. Meltdown. #Perspective

Poland looked like a very composed and able side.

There's been one stand out game during the Euros and a handful of decent games and that's it.

This competition is very open and anyone can win it.The top teams have dropped in standard and the small teams
have raised their game yet again.

I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna write off the Germans

That was well decent

Started off well and then deteriorated rapidly to ordinary like most games so far.

Nope, you've lost me!

Got the feeling both teams were content with the draw. Could have been a great game if there had been more at stake.

Unusual result, normally the Germans completely overrun Poland.

I would agree. The downside was the number of German yellow cards, they'll be disappointed with this.

Erm... last 5 games between Poland and Germany were 3 draws, 1 Polish win and 1 German win.

Poland could be dark horses to win the tournament. They ruined Northern Ireland and really should be winning here.

Steady. Germany were poor last night, and Poland should've put them away. They didn't.

Both teams poor could this be our year?

I know, but that striker won't miss two such presentable chances again in this tournament, and Lewandowski won't remain a peripheral figure all tournament either. Their poor finishing to date is all that marks them out as a dark horse rather than a serious contender. Their full backs have been absolutely superb.

I think the post you replied to was in reference to an event in 1939.

Possibly, but even then the losses they suffered in both men and equipment make it hard to call it "overrun", especially that we had to play against two teams at the same time: Germany and Soviet Union (isn't that against the rules by the way?).

 

[Mellotron]

Nah. I reckon we're about the 5th best side there, if playing to potential. Probably quarters, possible semis if a favourable draw. I would like to see us against a side that actually ATTACKS us for once, think then we'd see the best of our attacking play.

 

[Triggaaar]

Both teams have qualified to the knock-out stage.

How so? If they both lose their next game, they finish on 4 points. That might be enough, but it might not be.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Poland look one of the best sides, so far. Solid defence, creative midfielders and dangerous upfront.

Could well get to the last four, I think.

You are right, I was too hasty, but the chances of either Poland or Germany not making it to the 2nd round are rather minute.

Not very likely. By the look of things we will get Switzerland in the 1/8, which is not too bad, but in the quarter-final there will be Spain waiting and they are too strong for us.
