Hear journalist Maciej Frydrych about the experience in March.

It was in March that Blågult late decided the playoff meeting with Poland and made it to the WC. For the Poles, it became a bitter story.

- Against Sweden, Poland was very good but lost. It was a sad day, as the Poles failed to qualify for a major tournament for the first time in a very long time, says Maciej Frydrych, journalist at Przeglad sportowy.

Criticized for action against Bosnia: "Weak"

Poland began their Nations League journey on Friday. The meeting with Bosnia-Herzegovina ended 0-0 - and afterwards the team has been criticized.

- Poland's effort against Bosnia-Herzegovina was weak, they played really badly. Although the opponents did not really impress, Poland were also really bad.

One who in recent years has been the nation's big star is Robert Lewandowski. The now 38-year-old striker got his fair share of rice.

- He played a terrible match. I can't remember such a bad performance from him. In Poland we talk a lot about the future of the national team and how to prepare for a period without him.

Pointing out names: They stood out

However, he points out a couple of exclamation marks from the last match.

- I want to mention Wiktor Nowak. He made his debut last time and is performing well for Slavia Prague. He is a versatile midfielder. It is our new hope. Center back Kacper Potulski (everyday in German Mainz) was also good against Bosnia and he can surprise you with his defensive game.

The meeting between Sweden and Poland in the second round of the Nations League will be played tonight, at the National Arena, starting at 20.45.
