Interesting group now, Sweden, Poland, Spain and Slovakia. Spain might even have trouble getting out of this group if Poland shows up.

No offense but do you follow Poland in tournaments?
Showing up would be completely against the pattern. Middle game is almost always a must-win vs a relatively tougher opponent which they far more often than not historically bottle. Very, very hard.

2002 - Portugal 0:4 (after losing opening match to South Korea 0:2)
2006 - Germany 0:1 (after losing to Ecuador)
2008 - Austria 1:1, Howard Webb gives a stoppage time pen to Austria to equalise (after 0:2 vs Germany, both goals by Podolski who got told by Polish FA he's too shit to play for us)
2012 - Russia 1:1 (after 1:1 vs Greece), even managed to lose to Czechia in the last game, all despite being odds on favourites in the group
2016 - Germany 0:0 (after barely beating Northern Ireland 1:0); went on to scrape through on pens vs the Swiss and lost on pens to Portugal
2018 - Colombia 0:3 (after losing 1:2 to Senegal)

Poland is a team chuck full of scrubs who make easiest of mistakes, even when they have at least some offensive talent.
There's already a video of Paulo Sousa telling them to mark Skriniar on corners ahead of the game - https://streamable.com/ybh9mt

Do not count on anything from Poland. Especially not now that they chose to change a coach 6 months ahead of the tournament and had like 3-4 games together under him.

The more I watch it the more I think he did it on purpose. He's not throwing those arms in a normal way.
