"The Italian national team is twice as good as Poland’s.
In this Italy side, I only see two Polish players who could realistically make the squad - Zielu and Robert. I don’t think anyone else would get in."

Arkadiusz Milik when asked if he will watch the Poland-Nigeria match: 💬
"Watching the team I could be playing for hurts me tremendously.
It's pure agony for me."

"As for Jan Urban's coaching and substitution decisions, they were on, off, on, off... It was unclear what was going on. The coach was looking for something that wasn't there, only plenty of changes,"
🗣️ Zibi Boniek via Prawda Futbolu
Zibi Boniek on Poland's embarrassing defeat to Ukraine: 💬
"One thing to ponder is how it's possible that there's a war in Ukraine, and they play better football than us.
It's not normal. The country at war, which we all help, plays better football than us!"
(Prawda Futbolu)
"We were wrong to call the Sweden loss an ‘accidental defeat.’ We felt we played well, but that wasn’t true. If we had, we would have won. Losing to an average team like Sweden means we can’t say it was a good performance."
🗣️ Zibi Boniek via Prawda Futbolu
Jan Urban has warned Poland fans to potentially expect a loss against Nigeria: 💬
"There will be squad changes, but if we try different solutions in friendlies, the fans must accept that it may come at the cost of results.
We have to be prepared for that."
