I kid, I kid.
Seriously though, both Wroclaw and Gdansk are going to be happening during the soccer tournament.
Believe it or not, there are more German-language speakers than Polish. And they've been calling it Breslau for hundreds of years more than it's been called Wroclaw. And even the English-usage word for the city is Breslau. Just as they call it Prague and not Praha. Rome not Roma. Warsaw not Warszawa, and so on and so on...
And as for the ramping up of the border controls, this is being re-inforced on the Polish eastern border correct? Which really should be the case every day of the year.
