成人快手

I was at the England v Croatia match in Lisbon back in 2004 and their support that day was equally impressive. Although English fans out-numbered them by about 5 to 1 in the ground they sang non-stop for the entire match. I came down on an overnight train from France with a whole load of Croats who had been travelling for days to get to Portugal. They are certainly the most fanatical supporters I have ever encountered. Good luck to them for the rest of the tournament.

I know volkswagen make vans in poznan! not sure it helps , but there you go

Poznan is a charming town with a very well-preserved (restored) old town square. The people are very hospitable, friendly and helpful. The general education level is quite high. It is a good place to get to know the Polish people and culture. I'm sure you'll enjoy watching the match from there.

A.

Poznan isn't the richest city. Passed by it a couple times, but never went in it. I live in Warsaw. I don't know if you'll be hearing the boys singing though. Everyone here is disgusted with Poland's previous performance last game.

This game will be definitely a hit or miss game. I personally predict 3-1 Germany, but don't be too suprised the game is drawn. The Polish squad is getting a lot of heat over here for lossing a game they should've won.

It's going to be interesting how Germany's two foward play being polish. Too bad they don't use those telescope microphones in soccer games as they do in american football. You get to hear some interesting conversations sometimes.

If you want to know about Poznan, why not read a book?

A tip - in Poznan there is the ridiculous late 19th century castle built for the Kaiser, whose interior was redesigned by the Nazis and then partially by the Russians after the war. It was there that Himmler gave his famous speech to SS officers in which he said that being able to face the sight of corpses piled high was what had 'made us strong'.

I went to Poznan recently. The town square is beautiful its also got an amazing cathedral, Katedra (or something).

The way in is all old style communist tower blocks. The heart of the city though is very European. Everybody there was very friendly, not many spoke English and they tolerated my virtually non-existent polish.

what's up

I want to say only about Lech Poznan club - this is football team club from this city. Maciej Zurawski and Mirek Szymkowiak were playing in this club and many more great polish players. The intresting thing is that when this team is playing, almost always there is no free chair, (if any exist,joke) and this is the most of all in poland.

I was in Germany for the Euro 04. The croats do provide a very vocal and keen support. maybe due to their relative recent national pride being allowed to show itself. All credit to them, they played well.

Enjoy your visit to Poznan. I hope you will be suitably impressed with the town and the Poles. Poland is one of my favourite holiday destinations; not just because it it such good value, but because of it's people and their 'can do' attitude to life.

If you know as little of Poland as you appear to do, may I recommend enlightenment via the works of Norman Davies. His history of Poland in two volumes 'God's Playground' is brilliant, and a real eye-opener to anyone who knows nothing of central european history. Also try 'Microcosm' a history Wroclaw/Breslau which will tell you much about the relationship between Poles and Germans (and Czechs) over the centuries. Finally, the 60th anniversary of the 1944 Warsaw Rising received precious little attention in this country: Davies's 'Rising'44' will make you angry and sad, and hopefully make you want to visit Warsaw one day (if you haven't already).

Regards, James

PS Yes, I will be supporting Poland tonight!

Pozna艅 is one of the finest cities in Poland; I know I used to live there! The people are friendly and helpful and the local fans (Lech Pozna艅) are tolerant and without a real hooligan problem.
The London pub near the Rynek (main market square) is a good football pub and for an affordable Western-style hotel close to the centre (with excellent English-speaking staff) look no further than the Ibis, next to the river.
Whatever the result, take a walk around the 'Cytadela' (large park and former fort). Great place to relax and reflect, and also the resting place of some of the men who took part in 'The Great Escape': rather apt for tonight's game! Na zdrowie! (Polish for 'Cheers!')

Well, I don't know about Poznan. But I do know that the World Cup is taking place in Germany this year.
The match Germany vs. Poland is played in Dortmund. Hope you can make it in time there. ; )

I have worked in Poznan. It is a very nice city witha charm of its own. Beetroot is always on the menu in one form or another which was the only downside. Come on Poland !!

I used to have a girlfriend from Poznan, she was gorgeous. Up the Germans!

Under no circumstances drink any vodka! Once you've had one to be polite, they'll put another in front of you. As they're such small glasses it would seem churlish to refuse the second and so on and so on. You must however try some traditional Polish food - now that won't give you a hangover you'll want to forget. Tell them you remember Boniek and you'll probably get a discount. Chescz.

The most important thing to know is that 'piwo' is Polish for beer.

Sto艂eczne Miasto Pozna艅 is a very traditional polish city, twinned with nottinghamshire in the U.K. I am from warsaw but my family used to own an estate just outside poznan and I have been to visit it a few times. The square is full of beautifully coloured houses with very interesting architecture. i think u will enjoy ur time there.

I thought Brazil looked very beatable last night. I also think it's great that you are travelling to various cities and stadiums to watch the games and get different perspectives. If you ever feel like swapping jobs, let me know!

Celina,

Back in home Brazil's first apperance did not convince. The magical square did not work and Ronaldo is being called fat, round, ball, etc. Kaka was appointed the best on the field and although Ronaldinho did not disapoint, he didn't shine either. In sum, it is a great team individually. But isn't Real Madri as well?

The Brazilian media praised our defence, especially Dida, Lucio, Juan, Emerson, and Ze Roberto. Ronaldinho Gaucho was somewhat disappointing, Kaka played well (but can do even better) and Adriano was somewhat encumbered by Ronaldo while he was on the field. As for Ronaldo, well, we knew he was in bad shape, but not THIS bad.

The overall impression seems to be that Ronaldo should be replaced by Robinho, but that Parreira will (stubbornly) use these first games to get him in better shape.

Who knows, the man has coached us to a championship after 24 years in 1994, maybe he really knows what he's doing.

I would just like to say that i agree completely with the person who posted here yesterday. The person has since had the post taken off because the 成人快手 are not in favour of free speech. Why on earth did they hire someone so stupid that they even got themselves to the wrong country on the night the hosts were playing.
Perhaps she prefers Polish men to German ones?

Perhaps she doesn't care about the World Cup?

Perhaps she just got the job because she has a 成人快手 type name?

Get someone with a clue to write a blog. This is right up there we the page i read earlier where you have asked Graham Taylor about tactics,the worst tactician to have ever graced this english game. What do we pay our license fee for. While we are at John Motson is getting on my nerves by constantly calling Pirlo, Perlo, Its Pirlo and Kaka is said just like it looks not KarKar.

Aggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
