I don't expect you to know it but Michniewicz was involved in match-fixing in Ekstraklasa back in early 2000s, he went to the prosecutors and testified that he doesn't know anything but was later found to have made 711 phone calls with the match-fixing guru. He's a boring, defensive-minded coach who parks the bus and plays long ball to Lewandowski for all it's worth. When he was U-21 coach he couldn't beat Faroe Islands... twice. Now he will crowd the NT with his buddies from U-21 and Legia Warsaw to appease a certain agent (Mariusz Piekarski who used to play for Atletico Paranense & Flamengo in the 90s) who is his personal agent too. In other words, I prefer Sousa Idk what club do you support but if it's Flamengo then you might not like Sousa these days True but even with four GK (should be Szczęsny, Skorupski, Drągowski & Grabara) he will still find a place for Ekstraklasa old timers like 35-year old Artur Jędrzejczyk who hasn't played in NT for three years and nobody wants him back (he would have been called up for Nations League but was injured, hell, he got injured two weeks ago again so maybe football gods are trying to intervene here ).

Yeah, Dani Alves got a "life-time achievement" call-up just in case Brazil actually wins it? Poland will announce the squad on Thursday. Our idiot coach said he will call up four goalkeepers Even if we go Greece '94 and swap them after every group loss, there won't be game four to use all of them

Well, with Hojnisz skipping the season Kamila Zuk has nowhere to hide anymore. But I've lost hope with her even before last season

First time in a while Brazil have a real shot of winning it IMO. Most European teams that were the class in 2018 are just four years older. Argentina got an easy group but they will probably stink up the joint again.

Justin Fields set the new single-game record for rushing years by QB (178). Previous recored was 173 by Michael Vick twenty years ago.

Like said above, Jan Boklov first started using it during 1986/87 Four Hills and broke though as the inventor though there were others who also tried the V style. And he always got low style marks but eventually the longer distances outweighted the marks to the point he won the 1988/89 overall World Cup (Jiri Malec won bronze at 1988 OG normal hill using this style as well). From that point onwards more jumpers started to switch over, the first one being Swiss, most notably Stefan Zuend.

Caroline Garcia & Aryna Sabalenka will play in the YEC final

1991/92 was the last season where almost half of the field was still using the parallel technique. It was basically all gone come 1993.

Yeah, Westman has one of the worst landings out there and always gives up style points BUT she can only improve on that! First podium for in ski jumping World Cup since March 1992!!! https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=JP&competitorid=38148&raceid=647#results

Lukas Podolski still wheeling it for Górnik Zabrze. Scores from half-way line...

Maxime Crepeau (GK) is out of the World Cup after a serious injury in the MLS Cup final. Other notable players who will be absent are N'Golo Kante & Paul Pogba. Ben Chilwell is also out.

Incredible MLS Cup final between Los Angeles FC and Philadelphia Union. No spoilers just in case...

4-1 was the final score. Houston Astros win their second World Series ever after 2017. Rookie Jeremy Pena should be voted WS MVP. Dusty Baker is no longer the manager with most MLB wins w/o a World Series victory.

Yordan Alvarez with a 3-run HR in the 6th. Astros added another run and lead 4-1 in Game 6...

Caroline Garcia beats Daria Kasatkina in third set TB to secure the Sakkari SF match-up. Iga Świątek blitzes Cori Gauff 6-3 6-0 to complete the sweep. Gauff & Pegula went 0-9 at the YEC losing ALL their singles & doubles matches

Correct. Even an old-timer like Apoloniusz Tajner (ex-HC & boss of Polish federation) said this week that he thinks in 20 years time there will be no ski jumping on snow anymore

Silje Opseth wins the first women's event ahead of Marita Kramer & Eva Pinkelnig. Frida Westman in 4th place (one whom a lot of Polosh fans want to do well given how Swedish ski jumping fell off in the last 25 years). Maren Lundby 16th on her comeback. Noticeable good results for Rautionaho (9th) and Strate (11th). No points for Tamara Mesikova who finished 35th splitting both Konderla & Rajda.

Well, it reminds me of this old classic

Aryna Sabalenka beat Jessica Pegula so Ons Jabeur had to beat Maria Sakkari in two sets to make the semis but she lost in straights. Iga Świątek vs Sabalenka is the first SF, Sakkari will play the winner of Garcia vs Kasatkina.

Also in Wisła...

Ahem, the Slovakian sleuthing needs an upgrade The last Slovakian to win World Cup points in ski jumping was obviously Tamara's uncle Martin Mesik. I could have told you that without google Engelberg 2005: https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=JP&raceid=1991

Astros take game five 3-2. Justin Verlander gets his first World Series victory decision. Phillies travel back to Houston where they'll have to get wins off both Framber Valdez & Christian Javier

Świątek beat Garcia 6-3 6-2 and Kasatkina beat Gauff 7-6 6-3 which means Świątek has made the SF while Garcia plays Kasatkina for the second spot. In the other group Sakkari has advanced.

The most puzzling Polish name for a foreign country is obviously "Włochy". It comes from a German version of Vlahs who invaded Italy in the medieval period. The same background has the Hungarian name of Italy. However we sometimes use the term "Italia" just to have some language diversity

In Poland everyone always says "Czechy" so this change is completely irrelevant
