Switzerland is eliminated without losing a single game. They drew 0:0 with France and 1:1 with Poland. They imported a really impressive bunch of players to play for them. That goal was spectacular.

I'm happy we've advanced - the top 8 is the minimum I was expecting from us, anything more now is extra, though I hope they show more in their next game. The strikers are terrible, but at least now Milik and Lewandowski scored, maybe it'll help them somehow to see the ball go in.

I'm also not happy with how they started to fall back and focus only on defence in the last 3 games. Ok, I get it the defence is good and we only lost a goal after a miracle shot, but where's the ultra offensive team from the qualifiers?? The tournament is slowing coming to an end and our offence is nowhere to be found :-/ That's not good.

Can I take that as an admission of yours that Poland is not a top 5 team and that I know something about football?

Having just watched Croatia - Portugal, obviously no. We're not playing to our full potential, but we're still in it in the top 8 and we're still the favourites against Portugal. When you look at the last 8 teams standing, Poland will easily be in the top 5 And c'mon, the strikers are bound to finally have a breakout game.

PS. Poland does what Croatiadon't
