After a painful defeat of 1: 2 with Scotland and a inheritance to division B of the League of Nations, the Polish national team returns to the game. In 2025, the team of Michał Probierz will face Lithuania in the first match of the World Cup elimination. Although fans and experts see no scenario other than winning three points, the selector at a press conference pointed out that the rivals will certainly not give us a reduced tariff.
This is how Lithuanians wrote about PGE Narodowy before the match against Poland. “Marked with a bloody sign”
– These are very devoted people. They can be weaker, but they will definitely leave their hearts on the pitch. Lithuanians have a very experienced coach, a strong and tall team, they are dangerous with permanent fragments of the game. They also have players who can go to a counterattack very well and we have to get sick of it – said Printer.
Our neighbors are also excited about the Friday match. A few hours before the first whistle, an article about the National Stadium in Warsaw appeared on the Lrytas.lt portal, where the meeting will take place. Lithuanians returned to the tragic events that took place several years ago during the construction of the building.
“Chapel in Warsaw stained with blood” – we read in the title. “This stadium was marked by a bloody sign for our neighbors – during construction in December 2009, several construction workers were killed here, who fell from a height of 18 meters. The same accident occurred less than a year before the official opening of the stadium – in May 2011 – a man who fell from the scaffolding then died” – reads in one of the paragraphs in which the incident from years ago was reminded.

Despite this, Lithuanian journalists did not focus only on the “dark side” of PGE Narodowy. Its advantages were also recalled, which is not lacking. “This is not only a pride of football, but also the whole city. Over 58,000 places. The National Stadium in Warsaw, will be filled to the brim during the match against Lithuania on Friday, although among the crowd of Poles there will also be Lithuanian flags – it is said that more than a thousand of our compatriots will come to Poland” – they write.
The Poland – Lithuania meeting will start at 20:45. It will be the first in history a clash with our neighbors from the East on points. We invite you to track the text relationship on Sport.pl and to our mobile application.
