WROCLAW, Poland (AP) -- With a place in the quarterfinals at stake, Poland is ready to make history against the Czech Republic. The Euro 2012 co-hosts will be seeking their first victory of the tournament -- and first quarterfinal berth ever at the European Championships -- on Saturday at the Municipal Stadium following a pair of 1-1 draws against Greece and Russia in Group A. "It's going to be a mini final for us," Poland captain Jakub Blaszczykowski said. "It'll be the biggest match in the recent past for all of us." The Czechs are one point ahead of Poland after beating Greece 2-1 to revive their chances of advancing following an opening 4-1 loss to Russia. A win for either team would put them through. The Czechs, however, could be missing captain Tomas Rosicky because of an Achilles tendon injury.
