Is that first pic an actual photograph of the banner then? Or are my eyes playing up?

Yes, it's a photo of the banner.

Wow, and look at how they've allowed the space between the soldier's right arm and his body. It looks more like a cut-out. Must've taken ages to make.

I think you can order stuff like that at a photocopy place. You just specify "100 times original size please"!  |

If I understood correctly the first one, with the picture of the nazi soldier, was displayed during a match against a team from Kazakhstan - so what was the point? If it had been a German opponent I might have understood. |

Well, that makes some sense, I guess. I am sure Poland has received a lot of money from Germany already, in the form of EU subsidies.... |

A lot of stuff goes on in Buffalo (big Polish community here). August 1st, September 1st and Easter Monday, "Dingus Day". Honest question, why are the captions in English and not Polish? |

Honest question, why are the captions in English and not Polish? Smingus Dingus - I remember that from my time in Poland. I spent some months there on an exchange program last millennium. I asked myself the same thing about the language on the sign. If I were a Polish nationalist I am not sure I would like the use of a foreign language very much. I guess it was in English for the benefit of the international media. They could have used both languages though - that would have been more palatable. |

They're going to cop an unfortunate one for mocking UEFA.
