Go Poland! My score prediction is 2:1 for Poland. Will see.
If you have an AT&T service, or whatever other service listed on the site, you can watch live feeds on the ESPN website. This is a great way to follow this third largest sporting event in the world, right after the Olympics and FIFA World Cup.
16 European teams in 4 groups will compete for the 2012 European Championship.
Group A: Poland, Greece, Russia, Czech Republic
Group B: Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Portugal
Group C: Spain, Italy, Republic of Ireland, Croatia
Group D: Ukraine, Sweden, France, England
Poland and Ukraine completed an astonishing number of projects despite the worldwide recession and Euro financial troubles. Even though Ukraine is not a member of EU, the country led to EURO 2012 to be organized together with Poland.
Thank you for that Ukraine, Poles know about your commitment.
Despite some unfair reports from BBC and other Western media, Poland is ready for the challenge. New roads, hotels, train stations, and above all, friendly Poles welcome all the teams and their fans with open arms. Polish traditional bread and salt welcome was a huge hit and a surprise to many foreign teams. Italian team was greeted at the Krakow airport, Irish team had a welcome ceremony in Sopot (near Gdansk).
But the best welcome, not surprisingly since he was born in Poland, went to Lukas Podolski who plays for German team. On June 4th, Podolski turned 27 so during the practice in Gdansk, 11,000 Polish fans sang the traditional Happy Birthday "100 lat" (live a hundred years). Check out the video from the event.
If you are the lucky ticket holder, enjoy your time. Thanks for visiting Poland!
