:::Tip of the hat:::
Polish XI:
Szczęsny - Piszczek, Glik, Pazdan, Jędrzejczyk - Błaszczykowski, Krychowiak, Mączyński, Kapustka - Milik, Lewandowski.
Szczęsny, Pazdan, Mączyński, why is Adam doing this shit kurwa?

Feels like a fecking self sabotage but should be enough to beat NIrishes hopefully. Kapustka is the player to watch by the way, I guess he'll be off to BVB soon enough.
Another time I'd be rooting for N.I, but I have money on Poland to win the whole thing. Was supposed to do NI as my crazy outside bet, but I chose a more rational and potential outside bet in Poland.
NI will win this.
Which shit?
lol you can't do it anymore on Google Chrome, but it was a website that some Canadian guy made as a joke, and by clicking "I'm feeling lucky" it took you directly to it. Wasn't Google at all actually.No! I use google version French
Mayve they have corrected it!
The three I've mentioned.
Szczęsny is a fecking clown, Fabiański has been doing more than fine the whole qualifications, why start this fecking moron instead? Another Greece-esque performance waiting to happen.
Mączyński was sidelined for half a fecking year with a broken leg, came back for what, 2 matches in Ekstraklasa and jumps in when Zieliński was doing fine, bar that Dutch blamage.
Pazdan who can't defend and is a disaster waiting to happen, should've played Salamon.
Official squad of Poland.
Mączyński - seems that other options are either too risky (Zieliński, creative but error prone) or conservative (Jodłowiec). Pazdan is poor, but we don't have a real other good option. As for Szczęsny, I'm not that much surprised. Although I would rather play him against Germany. He is a risky option, but comparing to Fabiański with more chance to do something extraordinary. Obviously also much easier for him to have a terrible flop.

I have some sympathies for NI here, mostly because of Paddy McNair. Poland impressed me last championships, haven´t seen them much since. Possible dark horse I reckon, so should be clear favourites in this game
These guys. 
Mączyński reeks of bloody Henderson for us, a nothing player really plus he's been out for a pretty long time, that's a bit like throwing Shaw into starting XI now. Pazdan is pretty easy for me, it was stupid not to take Szukała in the first place I thought but Salamon got everything over him, passing, physicality, he's just been promoted to Serie A as well, no?
Picking Szczęsny ahead of Fabiański is just a slap to Łukasz's face imo.
I'm just popping in to say I'm firmly behind you Northern Ireland . Always had a soft spot for you. Best of luck today.
The local boneheads stirring things up last night, it must be the first time I can ever remember violence involving NI fans. Both sets of Irish fans generally tend to go abroad and guzzle beers by the gallon and make friends with the locals without a hint of trouble. One big party
Looking forward to seeing McNair.
Neil Lennon on a HD screen, does not look good.
Same here, it's the only reason I'm bothering to watch.
Hope he does well.
I remember Irish fans in Krakow for Euro 2012, even though they did not play any games here a lot of them would use it as their accommodation base due to much lower prices than Gdansk and Poznan plus equal or better party base. Top people, I would go out in the evening just to have a beer or five with them lot.
Cathcart and Evans at CB, with McNair in front. The heart of that defence is made in Manchester.
Lewandowski is captain for my Euro Fantasy team, so hoping he does the business.
Prediction:3-1 Poland.

Come on Ireland!

N.Ireland don't have their own anthem like Wales?
Get your own anthem, ya pikeys.
I was just about to ask that. I guess it's fine.
Nah. Constant discussion (online anyway) about how we should have our own.
Oh my god, its this anthem again
Technically Northern Ireland doesn't even have its own flag. The one that is used in sporting competitions etc. ceased to be the official one in 1973.
What happens when Northern Ireland play England? Do they play GSTQ twice?
Every Anthem seems to be an upgrade on ours.
Well technically, England don't have their own anthem either.
Quite possibly the worst national anthem ever. They should have their own one.
Think they just play it once. They played each other in the WC qualifiers in 2005.
The ref looks disconcertingly like every PE teacher I've ever met.
So many former and current Manchester United players in this Northern Ireland side. I feel like rooting for NI this match just for the former Man. Utd. players.
Well yeah, but it's the one that England use and (I thought) nobody else did.
It should just be the UK anthem and England should get something else...
Very defensive formation from Northern Ireland
Watching to see Mcnair dominate that midfield
