Eurosport - Thu, 08 May 08:42:00 2008
It's time to forget the failures of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and throw your weight behind the most British team at Euro 2008!
With no home nations qualifying, you might think nobody in Britain will have anything to cheer when Euro 2008 kicks off in a month's time.
But there are around half a million people living here who will be attaching flags to their cars and getting the beers in ahead of Poland's opener against on Germany on June 8.
With so many Polish people living in the UK, eurosport.yahoo.co.uk is adopting the Bialo-czerwoni as "our" team for Euro 2008.
Think of it as our way of saying thank you for providing world-class plumbing and building services to millions of British homes...
Starting today we will be publishing regular news and features on the team and urging Britain to get behind Poland!
Are you a Pole living in Britain, or do you just want to see them beat the Germans?
Send your messages of support for Poland (in English, please) to: eurosport_polska@yahoo.co.uk
Marcin Rosinski: "I have been living in England for 15 years and it would be an honour for me for the English fans to get behind the Polish national team! We need all the support we can get! This is our debut at the Euro championship and I believe we have a really good chance of going quite far!!!! English fans will love to support our team - GOOD BEER, BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, FIRST GAME AGAINST THE GERMANS.......what more could they ask for!!!"
Maciej Ostrowski: "Come on all you Brits it's not all doom and gloom. You can support Poland and we all invite you to do so. We have never beaten the Germans, well not on the football pitch. But this is our chance to do it for the first time. And who does not like to see the Germans being beaten?"
Szymon Kr: All British football fans, you have to see Croatia beaten by Polish, but the first, I am sure, exiting fight between Poland and Germany. Let's support our team - Bialo-czerwoni!! Why don't you support Leo Beenhakker's guys, they need you to spur them on!!
g_hine: Being from Peterborough, I am expecting a lot of Euro08 celebrations (or commiserations) come Poland's games. Would be nice to finally see them get the better of "Jerry" though (after 70 years). Cue photos in the Sun of brave Polish fighters v nasty stereotypical Germans.
