bristolcitysweden Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Germany 4 Sweden 4! Germans were 4-0 up! A great achievement although of course the Germans stopped playing after 4-0.

Tall King Blox Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 people do tell me that whenever they go to Poland they do think its a fine country to visit, but football wise right now it's not good. the person in charge has actually just been forced out of the FA 2 weeks ago and elections are taking place in November to select a new president of Polish FA, so maybe it will change a little bit for the better (especially the corruption which in Polish football is absolutely disgraceful) as to the Euros I think it was more to do with other organisations than our FA that it was so successful, but that might just be me being too negative about our FA Duwing da woa, Polish pilots saved our arses, the free polish were instrumental in giving the RAF much needed manpower, most still live on this free island, let's keep it free ! ! !

Frome Valley Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Whoa there tiger, what you saying....they are as corrupt as the olympic pussies ? It is a case of pick a decade. The English FA have always been piss poor whether its building a stadium on time and on budget or getting tickets into hands of fans at Italia 90.

Aizoon Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Do we have a definitive statement as to why they didn't? From BBC website: "Spokesperson for National Sports Centre, who operate the stadium: "There is a functioning drainage system but with this amount of rain falling continuously no system could get rid of this amount of water.""Roof closure takes 15 mins "but cannot happen in temperatures under zero centigrade, very strong winds or when rainfall is deposited on it.""Staff apparently now on "red alert" to get the pitch ready for tomorrow. General air of embarrassment and bemusement." So they can't close the roof when it's raining? No doubt the half-time coffee comes in chocolate cups...

PhilC Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 According to Polish media (I have only heard this and not seen it for my self however) "Both teams opted to keep the roof open" and the stadium management cannot close the roof without the players' and non-playing staff's consent. If that is indeed what the media in Poland are saying, it says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Yet they had the roof closed in summer. Laughable We played on Monday Tom in worse bloody rain than that.
