According to statistics, from 1994 to 2018, Mexico’s first opponents in the World Cup group stage all stopped in the group stage. So will Poland, which has won World Cup qualification with great difficulty, manage to break this data?
Poland really struggled in the European zone World Cup qualification, and finally entered the World Cup play-offs. The team nicknamed Bialo-czerwoni easily beat the Swedish team at home and were lucky enough to get into the World Cup.
During this time, Poland has participated in three World Cups. But at the 2022 World Cup, Robert Lewandowski et al were included in group C which had Argentina, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
However, Poland has experienced players at European club level. Not only Lewandowski (Barcelona), Poland was also strengthened by Milik from Juventus, Zelinski from Napoli, Kaniski from Wolfsburg, Zalewski from Roma, and the twins behind Aston Villa, Star Cash and Bednarek.
On the other hand, Mexico does not have players at Lewandowski’s level, but overall Gerardo Martino’s squad appears compact and fairly evenly distributed on every front.
