The goal of the Polish national team at PGE Narodowy. A surprising gesture after hitting
Until the 27th minutes, the Polish national team fans were waiting for the first goal in the match with Malta. Karol Świderski scored the opening of the meeting.
It is worth noting that for the Monday match coach Michał Prdyk decided to leave Robert Lewandowski on the bench. The captain of the Polish national team scored a decisive hit in the Friday clash with Lithuania (1: 0).
Karol Świderski with a goal in the Poland – Lithuania match. A surprising gesture after hitting
In the attack in the absence of “Lewy” he played the duo: Karol Świderski and Krzysztof Piątek. The former created a duo from RL9 also against Lithuania, but he did not pass a successful performance, as well as the vast majority of Polish representatives.
Apparently “Świder” and his colleagues really wanted to prove that both they and the national team have their own value. This was visible from Cieszynka, which the shotgun he presented together with the accompanying Jakub Moder. Listening to the PGE National stands, somewhat provocative or not necessarily? We leave your ratings.
Anyway, the Malta team also had their chances – before the Poles opened the result of the meeting. Therefore, in the first 45 minutes it was difficult to talk about the dominance of the Hosts of Warsaw’s Kultia.
Let us add that apart from the assist from five and … defensive error to the company with the guests goalkeeper, Jan Bednarek did a lot of good in the goal action. The stopwatch acting as the captain of the team initiated the whole confusion, recovering the ball in half of Malta well.
The Polish national team is fighting for participation in the 10th World Cup in its history
Looking at the history of football World Cup, the Polish national team nine times had the opportunity to take part in the most important international event in football. The World Cup is a holiday in which all continents are involved, which further emphasizes the importance of this unusual, cyclical event.
Poland debuted at the football World Cup in 1938. Then it stood at one match, exactly 1/8 finals and a crazy defeat with Brazil 5: 6, after extra time. Then 1974, the World Cup in Germany, from which the legendary staff under the baton of Kazimierz Górski, brought a medal. Poland was the third strength of the world at the time. Then 1978 without the podium (place 5-8) and again the album of the World Cup, this time with coach Antoni Piechniczek, in Spain (1982). In addition, 1986, where at the World Championships in Mexico, Poles managed to score only one goal in the tournament, ending with the 1/8 final.
Another World Championships with Poles came after a 16 -year break. Coach Jerzy Engel and his team were promoted as the first team from the Old Continent. Ultimately, in South Korea and Japan, it ended with a high disappointment and elimination of Poles in the group stage. This scenario was repeated on the next two World Cup occasions. In Germany (2006) and Russia (2018).
The “group curse” managed to break in Qatar. In 2022, the team of coach Czesław Michniewicz managed to play one match in the knockout phase. However, the Poles lost 1: 3 with the later runners -up in the world, the French.
In total, the balance of Poland at the rank of the World Championships includes 38 matches, 17 wins, 6 draws and 15 failures. When it comes to goals, 49 scored and 50 lost.
