No wait! Come back! Look, for the 1st time in 25.5 years I have to watch the bloody thing. On Terrestial Telly no less. Mrs P\_F has never heard the phrase Why Unami Nul Pwoint. I’ve opened a drinkable bottle of £2.50 Bordeaux and… Yep, I’m gonna be reporting on Poland,'s answer to Sir Terry Norton or whatever. Unlike Watford who stupidly took the FA Cup seriously & got but fvcked on live global TV, Poland decided to select some badly dressed losers who got knocked out by that bastion of EU loyalty, Australia. So buckle up, let me know Norton’s best quips and let’s take the piss out of Nigel Farage’s favourite TV show I mean, this was the absolute gem from Polski.

1st TV coverage report. It’s all in English. And damn the presenters are a good reason to watch Israeli TV. The Polish 'tater isn’t.

now its based on which former eastern bloc countries hate each other less this year so the scoring even more politicised than 30 years ago… the Germans could resurrect the rotting corpse of John Lennon, and get him to pen a tune with Bob Dylan an Neil Young and would still never win… ---
