Watch Germany Vs. Poland 2016 UEFA Euro Live Stream: Joachim Loew Wary Of Counterattack As Germany Tries To Pull Away
Germany look to advance to the knockout stage of the 2016 UEFA European Championships with a win over Poland in a match that will stream live Thursday — but surprising Poland also won their opening match, defeating Northern Ireland 1-0, and the counterattacking skill of the Poland side has the defending World Cup champions wary of being caught off guard.
“They have a team that is focused on a very quick transition game,” said German Manager Joachim Loew. “They are better than the Ukrainian squad because they have better players for that. They are one of the strongest counter-attacking teams that I’ve seen over the last two years.”
Germany cruised past Ukraine 2-0 to open their tournament, but the team looked slightly off their game, and though Germany has lost to Poland just one time in their last 20 matches, Poland features several players from the German Bundesliga who may have some inside knowledge of how to find weaknesses in the German game.

In fact, Poland striker Robert Lewandowski plays the same position for Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and has led that league in scoring two of the past three seasons.
Lewandowski did not let loose so much as a single shot on net during the Poland victory over Northern Island and will be looking to make up for lost time.

A win for either Germany or Poland would effectively send the victor through to the Round of 16 in the 2016 UEFA Euros.
The two counties last squared off in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, facing each other two times. Poland won the first meeting by a 2-0 score to put an end to what had been an 18-game winless streak against Germany, who then went on to get even in the return match, 3-1.
