#4 Things are looking bleak for Poland

Lewandowski was feeding off scraps against Italy

Poland have not won a game after the World Cup, a tournament in which they were knocked out after just two games.

The problem for Poland has been the same as always. They just have not been able to provide much support to their talisman Robert Lewandowski. Against Italy, they were dominated in every aspect, and only some lackluster finishing from the Azzurri meant that the scoreline was not harsh.

Coach Jerzy Brzeczek has young talent at his disposal in the form of Piotr Zielinski and Krzysztof Piatek, but he has not been able to unleash their full potential. He does not know his best starting eleven, which was evidenced by his double change at half-time against Italy.

All is not lost though for Poland, and they can still qualify for the Euros if Brzeczek makes the changes needed.
