Top Spaniard for Polonia?

Although Ruch Chorzow currently occupy second spot in the Ekstraklasa, they are not really regarded as a member of the exclusive ‘Big’ group, yet. The Wisla Krakow v Legia Warszawa clash, or first against third, was the game of round 13, but because of the stadium-rebuilding programme which is affecting all ‘Big 3’ clubs, this was not reflected by the 3,500 gate. The Krakowianie are having to play their home matches in Sosnowiec, 40 miles away. Miroslav Radovic scored the 34^th minute winner for Legia just two minutes after coming on for Sebastian Szalachowski.

Top of table clashes

Last weekend’s most interesting league match was the top of the second division, or Unibet 1 Liga, clash between Gornik Zabrze and Widzew Lodz. The Silesians lost 0-1 to a Piotr Grzelczak goal, in front of 16,000 which many English clubs in the Championship would welcome.

Lech Finally got themselves a #1 Keeper

The powers of the Ekstraklasa have been loading up on talent this summer, trying to stack a roster for what should be a very competitive 2009/10 season. Such moves like Arek Radomski from NEC in the Dutch league to Lech Poznan, Carlo Costly returning from his load deal to GKS Belchatow from Birmingham City, Marcin Mieciel going back to Legia Warsaw from German VfL Bochum and Wisla Krakow bringing in Lukasz Gargula and Andraz Kirm. However, the biggest signing of them all may have been this past week when Lech Poznan signed goalkeeper Grzegorz Kasprzik from Piast Gliwice.

Thursday June 11th Bullets

It’s been a while since i last checked in with some news and notes around the Polish league. Honestly, not much has happened since my last post on transfers around the Polish league and abroad. Most of the attention has been on the national team but there have been some news of note last few days that I figured i’d get everyone up to date on the happenings in Polish soccer.

Wasted trip ends with 1-1 draw with Iraq

My title of my previous blog was a bit off. It wasn’t just a wasted trip to Johannesburg, but a completely waste of a time to even head down to South Africa. My entire post could be the same as the one I posted on South Africa. Except, this time Roger Guerreiro came in at half-time and provided some type of offense, provided some type of attack. After all, they were only playing Iraq, and don’t get me wrong, I do think Iraq has come a long way from where their national team was just even a  few years ago with the war going on and all, but, it’s Iraq!

Monday bullets

It’s Monday and I’m still depressed with what happened on Saturday with Gornik Zabrze, but, it’s finally hit me and i can now move on and just hope for the best. We’re a second division club and I have to accept that fact for at least one season. During the summer break, Polishsoca.com (currently getting re-build) and the Soca Soul blog, we’ll provide fans with all the news, rumors and opinions on Polish soccer all over the globe.  Here’s some of the stories from Poland and Polish players abroad from the last few days-
