Rasiak Returns to Southampton

Bolton have decided not to keep Rasiak any longer. He was on loan from Southampton but Bolton did have the opportunity to keep him for a price. He has been with Bolton since January where he has appeared in 7 matches and scored 0 goals.

From 32 to 26

6 players were cut and deemed 'reserves' from the original list of 32. They include: Kowalewski, Radomski, Goliński, Piszczek, Wichniarek, and Janczyk. The final number for Euro is 23, so 3 more players will still be taken off the current roster.

Some Fans Don't Want Roger

Roger is not being welcomed by all Polish fans. Some had a banner saying "Roger - nigdy nie będziesz Polakiem" during a Legia-Jagellonia match on Wednesday. It also involved a celtic cross which is sometimes used as by white supremacists as a hate symbol. The symbol is prohibited by UEFA.

Beenhakker considering other options?

Beenhakker has received interest from many places recently, including Australia, Mexico, and most recently, Borussia in the German league. Beenhakker has said in the past his focus was on Poland, but more recently he has stated he will decide on his future in July. In prior interviews Beenhakker was much more adamant that he would stay on, which is far from the case now. It looks like he may opt for greener pastures, which may be more likely if Poland has a poor showing at the upcoming European Championships.

Protecting the Future

Players like Podolski or Klose need no introduction, which is maybe why former coach Jerzy Engel and PZPN have been working to try and convince skilled youth with any connection to Poland to represent the white and red. As many as 500 young players are being scouted. Some countries named included Germany, England, the USA, and others. The aim is to ensure that if there is a young talented player that could play for Poland, to try and convince them that Poland should be their choice.

Hockey: Poland Finishes 3rd in Group A

Poland was able to beat Korea 4-1 on Friday but when it came down fighting against the favourites, Poland folded 7-3 to the Austrians who ended up winning the group and earned a spot in next year's IIHF World Championships. Poland finished 3rd in the group behind Kazakhstan and Austria.

Roger Guerreiro is a Pole

As of Thursday, Guerreiro received his citizenship. Guerreiro has done his part, now it's a matter of will Beenhakker give him the chance, and if there will be any problems from FIFA. The former probably won't be an issue given that that is what probably fueled the whole process, but the fact that Beenhakker did not wait a day more in announcing the 31-man roster suggests the process may still need a bit more time before he can be added to the list of hopefuls.
