History

Criticism

The newspaper came under criticism from the Bundestag, the German parliament after publishing a photo-montage picturing Poland national football team coach Leo Beenhakker carrying the severed heads of Germany national team head coach Joachim Löw and captain Michael Ballack in the buildup of their UEFA Euro 2008 Group B opener against the Germans in Klagenfurt (Austria). Peter Danckert, head of the Bundestag's sport committee, called upon the Sejm, the Polish parliament, to take appropriate action on Super Express, labelling the issue a scandal. Beenhakker has since distanced himself from the image, calling the people who put together the spread named "bring us their heads" "sick".

Circulation

Super Express had a circulation of 386,000 copies during the first three quarters of 1998. The circulation of the paper was 353,882 copies between January and February 2001.
