    That's what I don't understand, virtually every team that's qualified has won a lot during qualification (I believe from memory we had a 100% record which Poland didn't), but against really weak opposition primarily. Where they've faced tougher opposition they've never recently that I can see done anything special. EG getting knocked out in the group stage (last world cup, again like us) or struggling in qualifiers in recent years against Denmark and Germany.

    Interesting. That puts us sixth ahead of Portugal, surprised at that.
