Poland - Cameroon friendly 0-3 11 Aug 2010

I don't even want to write too much about this match. Instead of being happy of Euro 2012 I'm starting to be really afraid that all of this is going to be one big shame of Polish team.

I'm really not sure if a need of watching Polish goalkeepers is enough to stand 90 minutes of a poor performance both in defense and in offence. And the worst is that it doesn't seem there is going to be better. New coach, new players, new strategy, and guess what! Poland is losing 0-3 with Cameroon, a next to the last World Cup team.

They are a few players, who try to do something. I can name Ludovic Obraniak, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Robert Lewandowski and perhaps one or two others. But there is no team. No unity.

The goalkeeper postion is the only one the coach has no need to worry. Poland has a lot of talented keepers. But a goalkeeper cannot win a match alone...

As for the goalkeepers, Łukasz Fabiański could do nothing when Eto'o scored the first goal. Made one very lucky save when he rushed to clear the ball, and pass was almost snathed by Cameroon player (blame a defender for that). The ball landed in Fabiański's hands eventually.

Przemysław Tytoń was playing in the second half. Again, the mistakes which cost Poland two goals, were rather on the defense side. And when Poland lost the goal he seemed to be the only player, who still tried to motivate the team.

A few photos of Fabiański, and no a single one of Tytoń, because I couldn't find any.
