Ep. 72- Poland’s Potential: A World Cup Preview, with Chris Lash of Right Bank Warsaw, in conjunction with Tactics FC

We are officially done with top flight domestic seasons. The promotion finals are over, the Champions League Final is done, and International Friendlies have already begun. It’s not that Saints aren’t in the news at all, with Mark Hughes and the first team coaching staff signing new three-year contracts last week, but aside from that, there isn’t all that much going on.

So, for this week,we’ve teamed up with a bunch of other podcasts and in conjunction with @Tactics_FC to help bring you a World Cup preview podcast for each team at the tournament. My part in this is to bring a preview of the Poland squad. This is  partially driven by the fact that my country of birth (USA) and the two countries my family comes from (Italy and Norway) failed to make the tournament, leaving me without a country to truly pull for in the finals. Plus, add to it I find Poland’s history, both on and off the pitch, to be interesting, and I kinda know a guy (or at least I’ve spoken with one before) that can help shed some light on the squad. Oh, and Bednarek is potentially going to make the final roster, so that’s also pretty cool too.

This is where Chris Lash (@rightbankwarsaw and also rightbankwarsaw.com) come in. He lives and breathes Poland’s Ekstraklasa and has his own website, podcast, has done TV, etc. So, when I saw the opportunity to get to speak with him again and learn about the history of the squad and the expectations that they take with them into their first WC Finals appearance in 12 years.
