Poland (Alex O'Henley, @UEFAcomAlexO)

Dariusz Dudka, a second half substitute in Poland's 4-0 win over Andorra, told the Polish Press Agency about the great spirit in the current squad compared to previous teams. "This team is different from the ones in previous tournaments," said Dudka. "Now the team is younger and has a bigger future. Most of the players start every game for their own clubs and are very hungry for success.

"The atmosphere is much better than before," Dudka added. "I don't remember a situation where 15 players would gather in one room to chat and have a laugh together. In the past there were small groups within the team, but now we are a united group. We showed this against Andorra.

"It was also a huge plus not to concede a goal for the fifth consecutive game," the AJ Auxerre midfielder concluded. "I can remember the days when people complained a lot about our defence, but now we've developed a good understanding."
