Trendsetter?





So apparently the Polish newspapers and The Guardian have caught up with Don'tKickIt,PassIt. Here is what I wrote last week on my Euro Group A post: 


"Game to watch from Group: 12 June- Russia vs Poland- the historically oppressive neighbour vs the host of the tournament. It's 1920 all over again!"


And here's what The Guardian had to say about 1920:


"The meeting between Poland and Russia in Warsaw on Tuesday has been billed in some Polish newspapers as the Battle of the Vistula part two, a reference to a famous Polish victory over a stronger Bolshevik army in 1920. The game also falls on Russia Day and rumours that visiting supporters are planning to march en masse from the city centre to the stadium have created concerns that violent clashes could overshadow the game."


Looks like I am on the right track. Lets just hope that the march doesn't occur otherwise there maybe another battle off the football field.
