How Poland players overcame adversity to shake up Euro 2016
...you wonder at the extent to which adversity has shaped a team of huge character and, at its best, relentless energy. The story of the centre-back Kamil Glik, who recovered from a life-threatening bout of meningitis as a child and saw alcoholism kill his father, has been widely publicised and so has the most shocking of all – that of the winger Jakub Blaszczykowski, who saw his father kill his mother when he was 11 years old. Another forward, Kamil Grosicki, has a complicated history of gambling addiction and associated debts, while Robert Lewandowski is another who lost his father at a young age.

Jakub Błaszczykowski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a child, Błaszczykowski witnessed a family tragedy which had a major influence on his life.[25] In September 1996, when he was 10 years old, his father stabbed his mother to death.[3][25][26] After his father went to prison, he and his older brother, Dawid, were raised by their grandmother.[2] He briefly gave up football, but with the encouragement of his uncle, Jerzy Brzęczek, a former captain of the Polish national football team, he decided to resume training at Raków Częstochowa two months later.[3][27] Błaszczykowski has credited his successes to his grandmother.[28] He dedicates every goal he scores to his mother and can be seen looking up to the sky during goal celebrations.

While it was a surprise, people aren’t giving Iceland credit (painting it as an English failure rather than an Icelandic accomplishment). They play well; England was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I’m cheering for Polska today!

I want to see Wales win it, but I think Portugal will win out.
