Euro 2012: Spain vs Italy 1-1 10 June, Casillas picspam

A decent game for both goalkeepers. Both Casillas and Buffon made 5 saves each and were strong sides of their teams. I'm especially happy thay Buffon is back, after struggling with injuries, and seems to be in a good shape. The players could feel safe, having them behind their back. Pity that the goalkeepers can't say the same, especially Casillas, which was left in situation 1 to 1.

Rather happy that the teams shared the points. After all I like both goalkeepers equally.

Small picspam with Casillas and Buffon. Will add more photos of Buffon tomorrow.

Tytoń: the result was fair, but we can't be satisfied - video

Watch the video interview with Przemysław Tytoń after the Euro 2012 opening game Poland - Greece.

Przemek, please tell what is your general opinion of the game? You have seen a part of it from the bench and a part from the pitch.

In the first half we had a lot of occasions to score. We created a lot of them, used only one. Later, a red card for Greeks, perhaps we lost our concentration back then. When we started the second half, our game didn't look too good. Greece scored a goal, we wanted to create some situations, later a red card for us. It think that the result 1:1, the fact that we shared the points is fair for both teams, however, we cannot be fully satisfied, because we had a lot of opportunities in the first half.

How it is, when one comes on the pitch and in the first action defends a penalty shot?

Fantastic. But well, it was just a twist of events, it was only one game, next one is ahead. Euro hasn't finish yet.

It seems that you are going to be the first choice in the next game. Did you expect that Euro is going to look like that for you?

No. When I joined the team I wanted to fight for the place in the squad. The coach decided that Wojtek [Szczęsny] is going to play. I'm trying to give my support to all the others, as much as I can. Perhaps now I'm going to be given a chance. I want to create a history.

Poland - Greece 1:1, 8 June 2012, Przemysław Tytoń saved a penalty

One goalkeeper's bad luck is another goalkeeper's chance. Wojciech Szczęsny was send off with a red card. Przemysław Tytoń took the place between the posts and saved the penalty in a crucial moment.

Some photos from the open public training of Ireland, which took place in Gdynia 5 June 2012. The stands were full of people. Of course I focused mostly on the goalkeepers: Shay Given, Keiren Westwood and David Forde.
