The Polish national football team may have missed out on qualification for the past two FIFA World Cup tournaments, but is looking as strong as ever in the qualifying rounds for the 2016 European Championship. Indeed, Poland is currently at the top of qualifying Group D-a group that also includes World Cup champions, Germany. Fans can celebrate the success by purchasing a new Poland shirt 2014 at Soccer Box!
Now that the World Cup is over, football fans everywhere are getting ready for the next big international competition. For most of us, that means turning our eyes toward Euro 2016, which will be held in France in the summer of 2016. In honor of that fact, Soccer Box has stocked up on the jerseys that European national squads will be wearing during the Euro 2016 qualifying rounds.
One of those is the Poland home jersey 2014 2015, a stunning Nike jersey that somehow makes the traditional "white jersey, red trim" design style look entirely fresh. The jersey boasts a V-neck and a bold stripe of red that runs down the center of the shirt from the neck. It's a simple but stunning look that will surely make Polish soccer players standout through the next year of qualifying matches.
The Euro 2016 Qualifying Rounds
The qualifying rounds for the 2016 European Championship began in early September and will carry on until mid-October 2015. Throughout that 13-month span, each European team will participate in 10 different qualifying matches, playing each member of their qualifying group twice.
This time around, Poland was drawn into qualifying Group D, which also includes Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Georgia, and Gibraltar. The top two teams, of course, will qualify directly for Euro 2016, while the third-place finisher will proceed to the play-offs for a final chance at qualification.
Poland vs. Gibraltar
Currently, the Poland home jersey 2014 2015 is the garb of the strongest team in Group D. In the first round of the qualifiers, Poland crushed Gibraltar 7-0, and at an away match no less!
The Gibraltar match was a series of one exciting moment after the next for Poland fans. Polish winger Kamil Grosicki got things started, scoring the first goal of the match at the 11-minute mark, and adding a second at 48 minutes to make the score 2-0 just after halftime.
However, the star of the match wasn't Grosicki, but Robert Lewandowski. A striker who currently plays for Bayern Munich on the league football level, Lewandowski scored not one, not two, but four goals in the second half of the match to do the Poland shirt 2014 proud. Another goal, scored at 58 minutes by center back Lukasz Szukala, notched Poland's score at 7.
Future Matches
The win against Gibraltar gave Poland three points in group standings, as well as a goal difference statistic of +7. Those numbers put Poland at the top of the group, at least temporarily above the likes of Germany and Ireland-both of which won their first matches as well.
Will Poland be able to keep the magic alive? That much will be tested on October 11, when the squad dons the Poland home jersey 2014 2015 to take on Germany. Even with the home field advantage and momentum from the Gibraltar match, the match will be a tough one for Poland. Germany is, of course, currently regarded as the best football team on the planet.
Still, if Poland can hold its own against Germany and force a draw-or even a low-scoring loss-the team will still stand a chance to reclaim the top slot on the Group D standings within a few months. Upcoming matches against Scotland and Georgia (to be played on October 14 and November 14, respectively) will likely present easier wins for Poland.
Do you think that the Polish side could really best Germany and continue to reign over Group D for weeks or months to come? If so, stop by Soccer Box today and pick up a new Poland shirt 2014!
