Leo Beenhakker has announced the list of players for the match with USA on 26th March 2008. The list of players who will go to EURO 2008 is going to be announced right after this match, so we could expect not many changes. Although:

"This is the squad only for the match with USA, we are not closing the door for anyone. The list is not set in stone." - said Dariusz Dziekanowski, Leo Beenhakker's assistant.

But my personal feeling is that changes in this list are going to be done only in the case of injury.

Goalkeepers: Artur Boruc (Celtic Glasgow), Tomasz Kuszczak (Manchester United), Lukasz Fabianski (Arsenal)

No surprises. Artur Boruc's position in the squad is inarguable and these three are simply the best Polish goalkeepers, despite Kuszczak and Fabianski being only reserve goalkeepers in their teams.

Defenders: Marcin Wasilewski (Anderlecht Brussels), Pawel Golanski (Steaua Bucuresti), Mariusz Jop (FK Moscow), Jacek Bak (Austria Wien), Michal Zewlakow (Olympiakos Pireus), Grzegorz Bronowicki (Crvena Zvezda Belgrad), Arkadiusz Radomski (Austria Wien), Marcin Kus (Kolporter Korona Kielce), Adam Kokoszka (Wisla Krakow), Jakub Wawrzyniak (Legia Warszawa)

Arkadiusz Radomski being in the conflict with his coach, will not be able to practice before EURO. But in the past, he and Jacek Bak they were forming our best defense block. I'm also looking forward to see some goals scores by Adam Kokoszka - this guy can be the real threat for unsuspecting opponents. Marcin Kus, Adam Kokoszka and Jakub Wawrzyniak got really big chance to prove themselves worthy in Polish national team.

Midfielders: Mariusz Lewandowski (Shakhtar Donetsk), Dariusz Dudka (Wisla Krakow), Rafał Murawski (Lech Poznan), Michal Pazdan (Gornik Zabrze), Michal Golinski (Zaglebie Lubin), Jakub Blaszczykowski (Borussia Dortmund), Wojciech Lobodzinski (Wisla Krakow), Lukasz Gargula (PGE GKS Belchatow), Jacek Krzynowek (VfL Wolfsburg), Radoslaw Majewski (Groclin Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wlkp.)

Leo Beenhakker has tested many midfielders in the last 6 month, so I'm sure that he has chosen the best of them.

Strikers: Tomasz Zahorski (Gornik Zabrze), Maciej Zurawski (AE Larissa), Euzebiusz Smolarek (Racing Santander), Lukasz Piszczek (Hertha Berlin), Radoslaw Matusiak (Wisla Krakow), Pawel Brozek (Wisla Krakow), Dawid Janczyk (CSKA Moscow).

The most surprising name: Dawid Janczyk. 19 years-old reserve player of CSKA Moscow doesn't seem like having enough experience to be in the squad for European Championships, but we'll see in June.

Several names are missing on this list, mostly Ireneusz Jelen (Auxerre), Artur Wichniarek (Arminia Bielefeld) and Marek Saganowski (Southampton). One of our biggest problems is the lack of classic centre striker and any of these guys could play really well on this position.

Alltogether this squad looks really well and I can't wait to see them in action
