Polish clubs are packed to the gills with foreigners, many of whom are black.
<div> </div>
<div>In order to give You a little insight, let's use last night's Lech Poznan side which drew 3-3 with Juventus in the Europa League (which is as unlikely a result as You'll ever see, given that the pathologically corrupt and grossly mismanaged Polish clubs usually fail to make it even this far into the European competitions...
).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Lech, who are actually the reigning Polish "champions" (please understand that such a lofty term is applied in its strictest technical meaning
) fielded a starting eleven comprised of the following players:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4 Poles</div>
<div>2 Serbs</div>
<div>1 Bosnian</div>
<div>1 Belorussian</div>
<div>1 Latvian</div>
<div>1 Colombian (black)</div>
<div>1 Panamanian (black)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To top things off, a black from the Democratic Republic of Congo (i.e., Zaire) came on for the Bosnian for the final 10 minutes...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Mind You, Lech is practically the most "foreign" club in the league, but I'll give You a couple of more starting lineups from the last round of Ekstraklasa matches (11-12 September).</div>
