I say USA wins 5-0. Two goals by us, and three by Poland kicking it into their own goal... Sorry, couldn't resist
Polish jokes are welcomed here too. Did you hear about the new Polish submarine? It has a screen door........ Don't laugh..........it keeps the fish out. DaDakota
The ONLY good Polish joke I've ever heard (told this one to my friend, who's of Polish decent, and he laughed) A Mexican, an Italian, and a Pollock are eating lunch on the 30th floor of a skyscraper on which they are doing construction. The Mexican opens up his lunchbox and finds a burrito. he screams in disguset, "AHH! If my wife packs me one more burrito, I'm going to jump off this skyscraper to my death! The Italian opens up his lunchbox and finds a slice of pizza. He screams, "If my wife packs pizza for me again, I'm going to jump off this skycscraper to my death!". The Pollock opens up his lunchbox and finds a piece of Polish sausage. He screams the same thing, "If my wife packs Polish sausage one more time, I'm jumping to my death!" So, the next day, the Mexican opens up his lunchbox, finds a burrito, and jumps, falling 30 stories to his death. The Italian opens up his lunchbox, finds a slice of pizza, and jumps to his death. The Pollock opens his lunchbox, finds a Polish sausage, and plunges to his death... The next day, the wives of the three guys are grieving together. The wife of the Mexican says, "If I hadn't packed that burrito for him, I'm certain he wouldn't have jumped!" The wife of the Italian says, "Me too! If I hadn't packed that pizza, MY husband wouldn't have jumped" The wife of the Polish guy sat there with a confused look on his face..."I don't get it...he packed his OWN lunch that day!"
USA 2-0 Q: How many Pollocks does it take to change a lightbulb? A: None, They just wait for it to come back on...
After the Tyson fight and the NBA finals the World cup has been such a let down US 3 - Poland 1 hmmmm if we finish behind S. Korea we play Mex. if we win we play Italy- I wish we could win out and play Mexico - we have played well against them lately esp. the Mexico City tie.
USA all the way. And as a reward for winning our group, we get to play Italy in the next round. I find it interesting that every time a soccer thread pops up someone feels the need to call it boring. Guess I'll have to start posting in the baseball threads. Regarding the NBA finals. What little of it I watched I found to be very uninteresting. Hopefully the East can improve somehow.
USA 3-0 Q. Why did the Poland water polo team have to withdraw from the olympics. A. Their horses kept drowning.
USA 3-1 Friedel was awesome vs. S. Korea. I hope he can keep it up if the US plays it conservative. We were struggling against the speed and endurance of S. Korea, but I heard that Polland lacks speed in their backline. U-S-A!
I'm the only person who's giving Poland any type of chance to win, so I put them in a draw situation with the USA. I'm half Polish-half hispanic, but I'm pure american. I gotta give some support.
USA 1 - Poland 1 Unless the US is more aggressive and doesn't allow Poland to ram the ball constantly, their luck will run out. Poland isn't a very good team, but they have the capability to capitalize on mistakes. Thankfully, I don't think they'll beat the US, and the US will move on.
they really need to play for a tie but thats hard. i say get a good lead, like 2-0 then score two quick own goals and play mexico
for some reason i was thinking 2-nil since that is the most popular answer it must be a good one. I do think Poland can score. especially with Korean fans supporting. 2-1 is most likely the result. America is not a high scorer, especially with reyna running the show. Stewert should play, so it may go a bit more up tempo. problem with that is donavan or Beasley will be sitting most of the game. Mathis better knock a few back. Go USA and dont even worry about Italy or Mexica untill you KNOW we get to keep playing. also on Mexico. after that tie in mexica and all the struggles their team had the Mexican team was COMPLETELY re-vamped. and with those new players has been on a tear.
"and dont even worry about Italy or Mexica untill you KNOW we get to keep playing. " Its Poland. Just remember that statement.
2-0 Poland at the half...and the referee SCREWED the US by disallowing Donavan's equalizer. After that Poland scores on the counter attack...it should be 1-1. Korea and Portugal can see the score, they both get through if the US can't score...so I expect them to stay at 0-0. It is ALL on the US now. And Arena sticking with his boy AGOOS cost us 2 goals again. DaDakota
