Clubs-

A week into the World Cup and there has already been devastation to the American and Polish teams. Both teams were shut-out (had "0" points) which makes the loses even harder. The only remedy to the way we feel is to join together: Polish, American, Canadian, and Irish, and devote all our energies to cheering not for, but against England. In the end, you'll all be glad you did:)

(just a joke, anyone who wants to cheer for England can, but do you really want to hear Marcin ranting and raving and talking badly about other teams every time there's a soccer game on?)

Message from the editor-
Welcome to the first week of the World Cup... here's a run-down (summary) of what to expect from the Polish squad (team).

Poland beat Croatia 1-0 in a warm-up match on Saturday.

'Boruc has the best chance,' goalkeeping coach Jacek Kazimierski said. After coach Pawel Janas controversially left out Liverpool keeper Jerzy Dudek, Boruc's main rival for a starting spot has been West Bromwich Albion's Tomasz Kuszczak. But Kuszczak's chances took a blow when he allowed a freak strike by Colombian goalkeeper Luis Enrique Martinez to sail over his head into the net in a friendly last week.

The Poles also face hosts Germany and Costa Rica in World Cup Group A.

Poland vs. Ecuador odds
Poland -0.5 points 2.08
Ecuador 0.5 points 1.82

Message from the editor-
My my, time flies when you're having fun (idiom: time goes fast when you're doing something you like)! It seems like yesterday that the new school year was starting and now it's only a month away from being over. Many students are interested in what the teachers are doing next, so here is a brief summary of everyone's next step...

Doris: What a long strange trip it's been and now it's time to call it quits and head back to the motherland... Ireland. We bid you farewell

Chris: Working at SPEED this summer and returning next year as well.

Matt: This summer Matt will be travelling with his significant other (Holly) through the Balkans in Southeastern Europe. Next year he will travel across the globe to Quito, Equador and take his teaching styles to Central America.
(Godspeed and good luck my friend, be careful of the elusive BOT FLY.)

Susan: Will be settling down with her husband and new baby... maybe back next year?

Brian: Working at SPEED over the summer and also continuing his employment here next year.

Rob: Working in Budapest this summer and then heading to the distant land that is Morocco in Africa. Get your injections!

Holly: This summer Holly will be travelling with her significant other (Matt) through the Balkans in Southeastern Europe. Next year she will travel across the globe to Quito, Equador and take her kind and gentle, yet stern with the children, teaching expertise to Central America.

Lee: Working at a kid's English camp this summer near Poznan and then next year moving to Wroclaw to work at SPEED'S other branch.

Jake: Heading back to California where the beer flows like wine.

Marcin: Still rockin out in Gliwice this summer and next year.

Jan: Still undecided

Tanya: Will be back next year taking care of all the little kiddies (children).

James: He will be travelling a bit over the summer and then returning to Gliwice to work until December.

Sean: Staying here at SPEED over the summer and then again next year.
