  1. 3D AGO

    Grief

    Polish Football's best era since the 1980's ended last night in Stockholm. And frankly we and our sanity are all the better for it. Because where does it say that Football must be our most popular sport just by acclamation? We are lucky to have had Lewy because he is the only star of his caliber we have produced over the past 40 years. And he sure didn't do it thanks to the structures that our beautiful game has. It's time to stop hoping for what is above our ceiling, which just got much lower. Also, Kamil Stoch ended his spotless and Mount Rushmore-level career on Sunday, 20 years to the week since, in the same place, he met his wife Ewa. Their relationship is truly a gift to us all, just as much as his victories.

    Wembley '73 Retrospective

    As we await the World Cup playoffs, let's take a look back at the most important match in Polish football history. 53 years ago an unfancied but hungry side came to the mecca of the beautiful game and, with a little verbal jab from Brian Clough, made Wembley into a buzz word for generations of Poles. This is the story of how a "clown" named Jan Tomaszewski stopped Alf Ramsey's England and helped launch a golden era for the Biało-Czerwoni.

    Crash and Dash

    Poland awaits(and dreads) this Thursday's World Cup playoff semifinal against Albania as Łukasz Skorupski is injured and Jan Urban selects Bartosz Bereszyński instead of his Palermo teammate. Iga Świątek is shocked by Magda Linette in Miami and sacks her coach Wim Fisette. Frankly, whoever the replacement is, they have to keep Iga calm and aware of her mastery. Also, Kacper Tomasiak, Kasia Niewiadoma and Michał Kwiatkowski all crash on skis and bikes, respectively(happily they weren't hurt), Kuba Szymański wins World Indoor gold and Kamila Sellier provides an update on her horrific Olympic eye injury. Errata Disclamer: Marc Andre Ter Stegen moved to Girona(close enough, I guess!), whilst Vincenzo Montella manages Turkey, not Albania. Tonight we're facing Sylvinho's side(I guess I omitted him because he played 2 seasons for Arsenal and then beat us with Barca in the CL Final.................)

    Five (Set) Girls

    Apparently, the new USTA boss wants women to play best-of-five-setters in Grand Slams from the quarterfinals onwards. Iga is said to benefit from this move the most but even she understands that an extra two hours of Tennis isn't necessarily good for you! Also, Irish Dave and I discuss the Ekstraklasa big boys being hoisted by their own financial petards, the verdict in the Śląsk/Wisła forfeit saga, Łukasz Piszczek sacked as a rookie manager by GKS Tychy and the government's plans for a much-needed participation sports reform.

    Wojciech Fibak Retrospective

    In this historical retrospective, we take a lookback at the godfather of Polish Tennis and how what should've been the biggest win of his career was derailed by Kirk Douglas and his wife! This is the story of Wojciech Fibak, a Renaissance man in more ways than one.

    Wisła Walked (all) Over

    Wisła Kraków and its owner, Jarosław Królewski, have reminded Polish Football of its sordid past by forfeiting the 1. Liga game against Śląsk Wrocław. The reason: Śląsk didn't allow Wisła's hooligans to come to Wrocław because they didn't want to forgo bearing weapons. The club that used to be run by the underworld of Football fans/criminals has once again cowered to them. Also, Oskar Pietruszewski's wonder goal against Benfica, Harry Kane chasing Lewy's Bundesliga record, Vladimir Semirunniy gets another medal and how PDC's new chief referee almost fainted in Kraków the other week.

    In Part 2 of our lookback on the career of Andrzej Gołota, we'll talk about his two homecomings in Poland, the mafia ties with the infamous Pershing gang of Pruszków, the two times he should've won the heavyweight title and the inevitable in-ring decline into a comfortable retirement and, in the end, universal admiration.
