No self-respecting Pole would purchase them (at least I hope). We can make choices and nobody as to purchase primitive crap. Those primitive papers give Poles a bad rap.

And that those who will suffer defeat are not inferior but simply have lost in a sports event. Posted from Germany I hope that whatever the result of the Poland – Germany match may be the

It's always so sick. :( Which is why I has always believe politics and football just don't mix with each other. An experience so close to home early last year really hit me on the effects of it. Which is why when I first knew the whole controversy out of Poland, it really brought back those unplesant memories for me (which at least has a happy ending). Anyhow, as I was discussing about the tournament with my father, I couldn't even bring it up to him when I was talking about the Germany-Poland match. I just stop short. I just said that it's a tabloid controversy. And my face almost white when I was watching ESPN Sportscenter Asia like on Thursday. We have ESPN's Asian feed on the pay-TV here and they did reported about the controversy...with the photos. I have to get a newspaper to cover my face from what was shown on the TV screen. As far as I am concerned, at least the newspapers here didn't publish those sickening photos. Only a report about Poland coach Leo Beenhakker apologising the entire matter. I would have really on the verge of vomitting if it happens. 'Provoking negative emotions ahead of a football match, where Polish and German fans will flood the streets in Klagenfurt is just irresponsible.' Yeah. Already what happened two years ago during the World Cup...I don't want to talk about it. Jan, true.

I'm sure most Poles don't believe in any of this, but it does create a stir and heck, here we are talking about.
