From the beginning of the tournament in Chisinau, the goal of the Polish national team was one, i.e. the medal of the European Championships. The path to him had its pussies. Our team from group C came out of second place, after the Ukrainians pulled out a 2: 2 draw at the end of the third match and took the first place thanks to the goal balance. In turn, in the 1/8 finals you needed penalties to eliminate Lithuania (after 40 minutes we draw 1: 1). Fortunately, Poles overcame all obstacles. In the quarterfinals they did a great job again, playing Moldova 5: 3. And in the fight for the finale, the Croats threw us a difficult challenge, but the Polish triumph 2: 1 effectively cooled the Balkan enthusiasm.
The French did not have light either
Only one obstacle remained on the road to the heaven decorated with gold. Tri -color obstacle, or France. This team did not reach the finals invincible. In the group, apart from the 7: 1 victories with Ireland and 3: 1 with Bulgaria, they also had a 2: 3 failure with Moldova. Promotion from second place to the 1/8 finals is not the only thing common with Poland, because in this phase they also needed penalties to enter the quarter -finals (0: 0 with Albania after 40 minutes). There they were not the favorites of the competition with Ukraine, but they defeated it 2: 1, and in the semi -final they showed the class against Spain (2: 0). They will not be favored against Poland, but they have already proved that this is not so important to them.
The final clash with France will start at 19:00. The broadcast of this meeting will be available at this link on the Ball on the Orlik on YouTube:
