Zbigniew Boniek clearly about the Polish national team. “Putting the grenade into the cloakroom”
The Netherlands – Poland on Thursday and Poland – Finland on Sunday. This is the system of football games of the national team in the fight for the World Cup 2026. Zbigniew Boniek evaluates it directly.
Polish players presented themselves poorly at the start of the elimination for next year’s World Cup.

However, both matches were … the beginning of the end of the then coach Michał Probierz.
Zbigniew Boniek about the situation of the Polish national team. The sincere words of the former head of PZPN
The representation did not convince the style, even tired of the least demanding – looking at the position in the FIFA ranking or general sports potential – opponents. The third elimination meeting of the G group was a trip to Helsinki. There Poles lost (1: 2), in addition, the so -called Wandering scandal.
Today, there is no coach of Probierz in the national team, Robert Lewandowski returned. Jan Urban has a difficult opinion ahead of him, but to implement, looking at the schedule. However, what will happen in the coming days will be crucial.

And this is a apathy for a year. This is true. I am not talking in autumn, some matches with Lithuania, with Malta, who have no meaning. Because if we don’t win at home with Finland, it will be hard to overtake them, let alone the Netherlands. So that it will be very important five or six days for the Polish team-admitted Boniek in an interview with Roman Kołton on the “Football Truth” channel.
