Nonsense. They've had 4 friendlies as preparation for the World Cup.

South Korea: preparation for Japan
Nigeria: preparation for Senegal
Chile: preparation for Colombia
Lithuania: a simple friendly

The choice of friendlies have nothing to do with Polands results at this World Cup.

This short-sightedness you claim didn't prevent Poland from playing a really good Euro 2016 and World Cup qual 2018.

But thanks for your analysis

Nope.

Those friendlies were deliberately scheduled to be played after the seedings were made for this tournament.

So how long until Russia are kicked out of the tournament they are hosting for inevitable doping scandal? Or will FIFA crumble out of fear of Putin

It is beyond doubt now that Poland are a class or two below England.

Let me help you, you were the one correlating Polands choice of friendlies with their World Cup results:

It was a short-sighted approach. All those easy qualifiers, and no friendlies against decent opposition is not the best way to prepare a team for the World Cup. Bad administration has short-changed these Polish fans.

You have no argument nor evidence for this.

Friendlies in 2016 (The Netherlands, Serbia, Finland, Lithuania, Slovenia) and 2017 (Mexico and Uruguay) are irrelevant. The friendlies the months before the World Cup is what matters: preparing the squad, facing football styles similar to your group opponents, finding the players for the final squad and so on.

What you are doing, just as you did when you claimed Poland shouldn't be seeded above England, is that you base your argument on what you feel and your opinion and try to string together soem sort of reasoning, but as shown it is based on nothing but ignorance. And we are left with an argument of Badass qualities from you

Some words ... passive aggressive emote

Today's results have put to rest any need to continue this discussion.

Plus. You're boring.

No. The results today are also irrelevant.

You are yet to provide any arguments to why there's a correlation between choice of friendlies and results for Poland.

Didn't watch a qualifier or a friendly of Poland's.

I did watch both of Poland's group games though. They were awful and both games could have easily ended with a final score even less favorable to them.

Are Urus even gonna try come forward considering there isn't much gain from a win?

3rd round games are annoying to predict because of all that juking

Why change playstyle? Uruguay will play to their strengths.

That said I think both teams would liek to avoid Spain and that means - most liekly - winning group A.

Golovin on the bench?

Can't figure out who I'd liek to see progress: whiny but better Portugal or boring and shitty but far more liekable persians :hmmmface:
