The main problem with Poland is always the same as always, when you read the names in the squad you think.." ohhh yes finally they are gonna do a fantastic job in the tournament, look how good players they had" but in the reality they always made nothing they play extreme defensive and doesnt attack at all.
That's a great comment explaining the Polish national team.😅 I think Fernando Santos is the reason for this situation. Yes, he is not in charge of the Polish national team now, but you can see his traces in the team. Especially the Moldova game, which they lost in the group stage, was a disappointment for me, but I'm still hopeful for them. A team with players like Szymanski, Zielinski and Lewandowski shouldn't have any more problems in scoring, I think one day they will overcome this problem.
Poland has a few great players in the team, but if I am not mistaken I think they had more quality in the team like 10 - 15 years ago. I could be wrong though, but I think I remember when I thought that Poland must be taken very seriously. At the moment they are going through hard times as it seems. A lot of the burden is supposed to be carried by Lewandowski, but this isn't how it works. He needs players surrounding him who are world class themselves. The game against Wales was close for a good reason.
If they had a much stronger opponent instead of Wales then I wouldn't give them much chance to move on with this poor effort.
Poor Albania, they are really unlucky with the draw. I guess that they wouldn't stand a chance here.
I don't know maybe their reaching the finale of Euro 2020 was also a factor in this. But I would rather show France as the biggest favourite anyway. I believe they are still the strongest among these teams.
