True - but Poland's performance has been remarkable

Who could have expected an essentially mid ranking European team to win every game home and away - apart from (of course) their game against England?

A record of six wins and a draw out of eight would be enough in most groups.

Italy, Spain, Czech Rep, Portugal and France all have a poorer record than us.
