The Irek Jelen Show

If you have not seen Jelen’s goal against Le Mans, you should do so. The video is below.  What you’ll see (if you’ll share my point of view of course) is nice technique, flair and composure (and a nice assist by Dariusz Dudka too!). Some of you might remember Irek’s performances at World Cup 2006 in Germany. He was, next to Boruc, our only player who represented Poland proudly enough to deserve call ups in future. Instead, he was somewhat forgotten and pushed to sit in the shade. Undeservedly in my humble opinion.

Ekstraklasa Round 21 Wrap-up

Gornik Zabrze and Legia Warsaw started the weekend off on Friday in a 0-0 draw. Legia outplayed Henryk Kasperczak’s squad but were unable to connect on a goal, in a game watched by national team coach Leo Beenhakker. Zabrze’s goalkeeper Sebastian Nowak played a great game and was the main reason why Gornik got a very valuable point.  On Saturday, Ruch Chorzow’s struggled continued as they lost yet again, 1-0, to Odra Wodzislaw and Lech Poznan still has troubles scoring goals, as they tied Arka Gydnia 0-0. Wisla Krakow after being down 1-0 at half-time to Cracovia in the Krakow derby, had an offensive attack in the second half, scoring four goals. Here’s the rest from the weekend from the ekstraklasa.
