Will Poland Advance for the First Time Since 1986?
Poland performed well during the FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers, finishing second behind England with six victories from their 10 matches. They were able to advance with a walkover against Russia in their first playoff before defeating Sweden 2-0 to secure their place at Qatar 2022, courtesy of goals from Lewandowski and Piotr Zielinski.
The Poles now need to channel that form into the World Cup, where they’ve not reached the knockout stage since 1986. It will take a place special effort to rise to the occasion against Argentina, but it could define their tournament and spark something special.
Poland Top Scorers FIFA World Cup Qualifying
| Name | Position | Matches | Goals |
| Robert Lewandowski | Forward | 9 | 9 |
| Adam Buksa | Forward | 6 | 5 |
| Karol Swiderski | Forward | 9 | 5 |
| Kamil Jozwiak | Midfielder | 8 | 2 |
Lewandowski is the ace in the hole for Poland at the tournament. Few players in the world are better than the forward in front of goal, and he displayed his predatory instincts during the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification period. He is not in the prime of his career anymore, but with this being his last World Cup, it’s inevitable that he will be desperate to make an impact. Poland do have promising players such as Buksa and Swiderski, but Lewandowski has to do the heavy lifting, especially against Argentina.
Poland manager Czeslaw Michniewicz inherited the reins after the surprise exit of Paulo Sousa, but he rallied the team to guide them past Sweden. FIFA World Cup 2022 Group C is not the toughest, which will give the Poles a chance, but Michniewicz and his team will have to be at their best throughout.
All Eyes On Messi and Argentina
Argentina embark on another World Cup campaign with high levels of expectation. The Albiceleste were knocked out in the round of 16 in 2018, losing out in a seven-goal thriller to France. Four years prior, Argentina lost out in the final to Germany. It’s fair to say they have unfinished business in Qatar 2022 after being beaten by the two winners of the last two World Cups.
The Albiceleste were impressive during qualifying, finishing second behind Brazil to earn their Qatar 2022 dates. Having conquered the Copa America at long last with their triumph in 2021, there will be a belief that they can go all the way.
Argentina Top Scorers FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualification
| Name | Position | Matches | Goals |
| Lionel Messi | Forward | 15 | 7 |
| Lautaro Matinez | Forward | 14 | 7 |
| Angel Di Maria | Midfielder | 13 | 3 |
| Nicolas Gonzalez | Midfielder | 11 | 3 |
Messi is the key for Argentina in what could be his last World Cup. He finally won a major international competition with the Albiceleste after their triumph in the Copa America, but he and his teammates will be desperate to win the Qatar World Cup 2022 to match the achievement of the great Diego Maradona. Messi is not operating at the peak of his powers anymore, but does have support from Martinez, Di Maria and Paulo Dybala in the final third.
The balance Argentina have in their squad could give them and advantage over their rivals. Manager Lionel Scaloni has already guided his team to one major crown, and another would set him apart as one of the great Argentina managers of all-time. A lot of legacies are at stake.
