Simple reasoning
The 29-year-old RC Lens defender has played 37 times for his country and said: "It's an honour to wear the captain's armband but the most important thing is that the Polish national team is successful. We must help each other, our target is clear – we must be winning."
Venues announced
The Polish Football Federation (PZPN) also announced today that the country's EURO 2004™ match against Latvia would be played on 12 October in Warsaw at the Wojska Polskiego stadium, home of champions Legia Warszawa.
