Outright Odds: a hundred twenty five/one
Team A Winners: 4/one
Next a disastrous 2002 Globe Cup campaign during which coach Jerzy Engel talked up his sides prospects just for them to get crushed two-0 by South Korea and hammered four-0 by Portugal, Poland will likely be keen to recreate their former Globe Cup glories.
Underneath coach Pawel Janas, Poland made quick perform in their qualifying team, having fun with dwelling and away victories versus Austria, Azerbaijan, Northern Eire and Wales. Two narrow 2-one defeats to England prevented a clean sweep but eight wins out of ten matches was over more than enough to cement their position while in the finals.
In qualifying they proved their capability to beat common teams convincingly and they will should repeat this over the grand stage If they're to repeat their glorious strategies of 1974 and 1982 during which they concluded 3rd. Nevertheless, In addition they need to prove they've what it requires to beat the more powerful sides because they did in 1974, when Argentina, Italy, Sweden and Yugoslavia had been dispatched before beating Brazil to assert 3rd position.
They definitely provide the firepower to do so and Polands primary toughness lies in assault. Through qualifying they cracked in 27 goals, notably the eight-0 thrashing of Azerbaijan and scored at the least after in all 10 in their qualifying matches. Extra importantly, they scored 10 greater than group winners England managed for all their multi-million pounds worth of strikers and only 3 sides scored additional objectives as opposed to Poles throughout the eu qualifying campaign.
Elche striker Tomasz Frankowski, nicknamed The Targets Hunter and Celtic forward Maciej Zurawski fired in fourteen goals between them in the course of qualifying while Southamptons Grzegorz Rasiak can also be in contention.
Poland also are a side that isn't in need of experience. The envisioned starting line-up has a mean age of in excess of thirty whilst Jacek Krzynowek, Jamil Kosowski and Radolsaw Kaluzny have all performed inside the German Bundesliga. 4 many years back the team struggled to manage Using the local climate in Korea and Japan but should have no such challenges this time when building the small trip about the border into Germany.
Their only actual weak spot is on the back where they have got made a practice of conceding gentle aims that can not go unpunished every time they confront a staff in clinical mood.
Encouraged Wager:
Poland have gained a favourable draw in which they need to arguably beat both of those Ecuador and Costa Rica Along with the community derby fixture towards Germany sandwiched in between. The dismal failure of 4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=온라인카지노 many years 온라인카지노 back suggests the Poles can not be backed confidently to get Team A, although they are powerful enough to qualify from it.
Poland to qualify from Team A @ 8/15
Poland to beat Costa Rica @ 4/five
