FT Poland 1-1 Czech Republic Not what either of them wanted! Poland won’t be qualifying from the group, the Czechs still have work to do.
Between tons of inexplicable reasons, being a living proof that international breaks are too short (as some of them can and do play well in clubs, where they train with other players all the time and they know what other people will do, but in the national team they act like they are playing football for the first time all the time), having a mentality of a gelatinous cube under the hot shower (unless your gelatine has some chemicals that makes it not completely melt down under (hot) water, in this case gelatinous cube is better), and even more problems, a lot of things have happened.
