I think I saw Lewandowski’s picture on the side of a milk carton.

That’s the way to score a goal. Run the whole field right down the middle.

Poland gets to be the first Euro team to lose to teams from three different continents.

“Harry Kane has more goals then Lewandowski has touches.”

Tables were updating quicker than this... maybe because it is Sunday.

I#ll post tomorrow.
Too tired to do simple math.

Yeah, watch Poland actually beat Japan.

It happened the last time, they lost their first two and got eliminated, then beat the US, but the US still did advance anyway.

Switzerland goes on my s-list.

No class at all.

That was 2002 which was the only time the US reached the quarterfinals.
