I know of Wisla Krakow and Legia Warszawa, because Celtic have two Polish players. We also played these teams during preseason.

I watched the games on t.v. and both Krakow and Warszawa have very loud and passionate supporters despite the small numbers!

IMO Legia is very weak, I don't know how this team was first last season I don't like Legia (except for Choto and Fabianski )
I think that at this season there will be GKS Belchatow or Wisla Krakow on 1st place ;] But I don't support any of polish team (except when either of polish teams is at Champions League, UEFA Cup etc. ;] )

Wisla Krakow beat Odra Wodzislaw 6:0

Goals: Sobolewski, Radovanovic, Blaszczykowski, Cleber, Kryszalowicz - 2

Maybe you know Sobolewski and Kryszalowicz - Kryszalowicz played in World Cup 2002, Sobolewski played in World Cup 2006.

I don't like their too

Go Go Lech Poznan! I hate Legia. Hmm I hope Wisla win with Blacburn

This is a table after first round:

1. GKS Belchatow
2. Zaglebie Lubin
3. Korona Kielce
4. Legia Warszawa
5. Wisla Krakow
6. LKS Lodz
7. Cracovia Krakow
8. Lech Poznan
9. Groclin Grodzisk
10. Arka Gdynia
11. Widzew Lodz
12. Gornik Zabrze
13. Pogon Szczecin
14. Gornik Leczna
15. Odra Wodzislaw
16. Wisla Plock

Interesting situation in top of table. Belchatow, Zaglebie, Legia, Korona and Wisla want to win. I think GKS Belchatow will be a winner

Pogon Szczecin - Brazilian team, not Polish ...

I think Belchatow wil be winner - they are very good in this season.

Now about corruption - police have 80 people who are involved in this scandal. Few days ago, police caught boss of Zaglebie Lubin....
