    everything is possible except draw :lol:
    I don't believe twice in miracle :wink2:


    Haha, draw will be interesting. :P I'm just kidding. But seriously Belgium are not weak and you have problems as far as I know. And hey, what happened with "the super talant" Wlazly, is he fit?

  • Wlazły is a big mistery. Once he is fit, then not. Now he is OK, but who knows what will happen later?

    It wasn't a miracle! Poland wasn't good and Belgium was, so it can happen again.


    If Lozano played in the Polish NT himself and would score 30 points, That would be a miracle!!
