MARSEILLE, France -- Poland is facing Portugal in a European Championship quarterfinal on Thursday. Here are five Poland players to watch:---ROBERT LEWANDOWSKIThe star striker is making headlines for the wrong reasons in France. After scoring 13 times in qualification -- more than any other player in the competition -- Lewandowski is goalless at Euro 2016. The Bayern Munich striker has never stopped working and his runs have opened up space for teammates -- coach Adam Nawalka has said he is doing phenomenal work in that role -- but he will be keen to get off the mark against Portugal.---JAKUB BLASZCZYKOWSKIPoland may only have scored three times in four games, but Blaszczykowski has been the standout player in attack, scoring goals against Switzerland and Ukraine, in the latter game as substitute. He set up Polands only other goal at Euro 2016 with a pinpoint cross for Arkadiusz Milik in its Group C opener against Northern Ireland. With Lewandowski often marked intensely, Blaszczykowski could be key. Poland has never lost a game when Blaszczykowski has scored.---LUKASZ FABIANSKIHe wasnt Polands first-choice goalkeeper when the tournament started, but Fabianski has become a key member of the team since Wojciech Szczesny hurt his thigh in the first game. He kept clean sheets against world champion Germany and against Ukraine. The only goal he has conceded outside a penalty shootout was the spectacular overhead kick scored by Switzerlands Xherdan Shaqiri in the round of 16. He didnt need to make a save in the 5-4 shootout win over the Swiss, the only miss coming when Granit Xhaka skewed his spot kick wide of the post.---GRZEGORZ KRYCHOWIAKThe defensive midfielders boundless energy has been crucial for Poland, which has only conceded one goal in open play -- Shaqiris stunner. In attack, his smart passing helped the team to dominate Northern Ireland, earning him a man-of-the-match award. Krychowiak, a two-time Europa League winner with Sevilla, also blocked out the pressure to score the decisive penalty in the shootout against Switzerland.---BARTOSZ KAPUSTKAPolands youngest player at just 19 years, Kapustka put in an eye-catching performance in his teams 1-0 opening win against Northern Ireland, earning plaudits from former England defender Rio Ferdinand, who called him a very clever, composed and skillful player, in comments on Twitter. Former England striker Gary Lineker labeled Kapustka a deliciously talented 19 year old. But since then, Kapustka has only showed fleeting glimpses of that talent and missed the Switzerland game through suspension.--- http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/quinton-spain-jersey/ .com) - The red-hot Los Angeles Kings will try to extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Sundays clash at Rexall Place. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/jurrell-casey-jersey/ . -- Hunter Smith scored the winner with just 12 seconds remaining in the third period as the Oshawa Generals edged the host Sarnia Sting 5-4 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/brice-mccain-jersey/ . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/customized/ . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/nate-palmer-jersey/ . Andrew Luck lost his favourite target and the Indianapolis locker room lost one of its most revered leaders when Reggie Wayne was diagnosed Monday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that will cost him the rest of the season.Paul Merson has described Manchester Citys Champions League semi-final defeat at Real Madrid as the worst performance hes ever seen in football. Having earned a creditable goalless draw with the 10-time champions in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium, Manuel Pellegrinis men relinquished their hopes of a maiden European Cup final appearance as Fernandos own-goal saw Real progress.In what was a performance bereft of intensity and creativity, Citys star-studded line-up managed just one shot on target at the Bernabeu and failed to create a single clear-cut chance as they were dumped out of the competition with a whimper. I would say thats the worst Ive ever seen in football, Merson told Sky Sports Facebook page.It was the Champions League semi-final and City had 15 minutes to score one goal that would have seen them through to the final. They should have thrown everyone forward - the centre-halves, everybody!Champions League semi-finals come around once in a lifetime so to go out in the manner they did was poor. With £250,000 up for grabs in this seasons Soccer Saturday Super 6, Paul Merson gives you his thoughts on this weeks games There will be a lot of players who came home on that plane the other day thinking: I wont be here next season.Citys reluctance to throw everything at Real Madrid for a place in European footballs biggest game irritated Merson. Pick your team Aguero? Ozil? De Bruyne? Pick your Fantasy Six-a-Side team for the chance to win ￡10,000 Real, who were missing Karim Benzema and nursing Cristiano Ronaldo back to full fitness, were rarely tested and the Sky Sports pundit claimed the players would ultimately regret their poor showing.dddddddddddd Champions League semi-finals come around once in a lifetime so to go out in the manner they did was poor. Paul Merson on Manchester Citys exit I saw Cardiff lose 3-0 at Sheffield Wednesday last week in a game they needed to win, he added.They were 1-0 down, they chased the game and lost 3-0. You can hold your hands up when that happens, at least they had a go.City simply didnt have a go. I couldnt believe them on Wednesday, Ive never seen anything like it. Will City ever have a better opportunity to reach the Champions League final again? Merson runs through his Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-side team as he takes on Phil Thompson this weekend The last time I saw something similar was when Newcastle got relegated at Aston Villa in 2009. I watched that game expecting Newcastle to have a go but, like City, they didnt.Do you agree with Merse? Let us know using the message boards or by tweeting @SkyFootball.
