And the two in the centre certainly enjoyed leaving a lot of space. Didn't they say the Poles hadn't played a competitive match in 2 years? It showed.
To be honest the Poles were excellent in the 1st half, you can't blame the defence for his mistakes as that wasn't their fault.

He completely misses the ball for one and blatantly takes the guy out for the 2nd, in reality Poland should have lost and only a good save from his deputy stopped that happening. Had he not screwed up I reckon Poland would have 3 points in the bag, especially after the shocking refereeing decision in the 1st half.

I agree keepers have bad days, but to have a bad day in such an important game really is unfortunate.
