Now after three matches, Poland faced the same fate they expereinced in 02. Four years ago they came in fourth with 3 points, and now this year they ended up in third place with 3 points. Here are the results from the three matches.
Poland vs Ecuador (0-2)
In the opening match, I remember racing home to see their opening match, but to see them lose. Throughout the entire match it looked like Poland felt they would win the match, but Ecuador disproved the facts by beating them 0-2. Poland came close to tying it in the closing minutes, but every shot was stopped by the woodwork. And so we lose our opening match, giving us little hope to qualify with germany next on the list.
Poland vs Germany (0-1)
The match where you were proud of your team until stoppage time. In this minute, Poland fought so hard taking abusive from German fans throughout the entire 90 minutes even with a man down with twenty minutes remaining. When the 91st minute hit and it looked like just both teams would tie, Germany manages to sneak a goal in past Boruc to put them up 1-0. At that moment I lost my cool, and began a fury riot, and this match is one match I care not to talk about.
Poland vs Costa Rica (2-1)
The match where Poland finally won a match out of the group stage. I was not there to watch it, but I'm very happy they manged to leave with three points. It seems Cosat Rica took the lead early, but Poland came back with two goals from Bosacki to put them up ahead 2-1 and win the game.
Now that they are leaving Germany, I really hope that over the next years, they will be working hard to make the players stronger and add some new talent to the team to propel them to the second round again, and maybe even in the quarter-finals.
