Goal! Poland 1-0 Portugal (Lewandowski 2)

Lewandowski emphatically announces himself at Euro 2016! Cedric, who had just made a very good tackle on Grosicki, misreads the bounce of a crossfield ball and watches it arrive at Grosicki’s feet behind him. He scampers forwards and pulls the ball back to Lewandowski. On the penalty spot, the Bayern striker sidefoots home with power and precision.

In the meantime, gossip mag The Sun, their football page, shows Wayne and Collete went off to Ibiza, sipping wine and so on.

For gosh sakes, England need to get, even Alan Shearer in there and never call back the likes of Wayne Rooney. That's a bit harsh but at the most, he should be on the bench.

22:00 - FANTASTIC combination by Poland in front of Portugal’s goal. Best I’ve seen in a long time.

The arbitro could have indeed given a penalty in that situation it looks like at least. Silly move as well by the Polish defender. Poland dodges a bullet. If that happens again! There would not have been a score if Ronaldo had not been touched. Those kinds of moves are very questionable.

Oh dear, that should have been blocked by the goalkeeper,

1-1 game.

Maybe a deflection and Fabianski couldn’t have reached it now on the replay.

Goal! Poland 1-1 Portugal (Sanches 32)

What a way to announce yourself on the international stage! Sanches has thundered a left-footed shot into the corner from the edge of the box. Nani played a key part too, flicking the ball back to Sanches on the right who, on the run, shifted the ball with electric speed and thrashsed it at goal with his left foot.

A good match... really. I certainly hope Poland can get the Win. Major test for this team, score before the half!

This happened vs. Switzerland, it seems Poland loses the tempo and flow some... almost like they look tired which can’t be at this point. Now, they are getting a bit back.

It looked like vs. Switzerland, they were playing for it to go to penalties.

It was almost worth it to give up that goal. Poland plays like dreck when they have a lead.

All of England’s players are from England. That’s the rule.

Our US announcer said Portugal is the 4th favorite in this tournament behind

Germany, France and Belgium.

If that is so, that is sure taking Italy lightly, maybe it means the oddsmakers are looking at the brackets.

Some fouling going on but a fairly workmanlike performance by Portugal so far.

Cedric, nice strike, thank goodness that didn’t go in.

I know I posted Ronaldo’s picture the other day but I’m just kidding around, Ronaldo is the type everyone loves to hate. Though I don’t hate him or Portugal.

Tight situation here, it really does seem like Poland plays for the draw.

Let’s Score Poland! Too close for comfort!
