As Poland and Northern Ireland get ready to begin their respective campaigns in the European Championship, many fans might struggle to name six total players between the two teams.

When Poland were co-hosts of the Euros four years ago, Lewandowski was a good player, but not the star that he is today. Now, though, he’s helped guide his team through qualification with a series of superlative performances, and he’s on the biggest stage in Europe ready to show everyone just how good he can be.
Yes, Northern Ireland had their own impressive run in qualifying, and they’re an impressive and popular underdog in this tournament. But they don’t have a star on Lewandowski’s level, and their defenders don’t match up with him well either. If he gets rolling early, this game could get ugly in a hurry.
