World Cup Favorites #23: Poland

Wamma! Robert Lewandowski is STILL going! The man is like a fine wine — he just gets better with age! At 37 years old, the Polish goal machine is still banging them in at Barcelona, and he's coming to the 2026 World Cup to prove he can FINALLY perform on the biggest stage. Poland lives and dies by Lewandowski, and this might be his LAST chance to leave a World Cup legacy. The pressure is ON!

Manager: Michał Probierz Key Players: Robert Lewandowski, Nicola Zalewski, Piotr Zieliński FIFA Ranking: ~28th


The Squad

  • Robert Lewandowski is one of the greatest strikers in football history with 600+ career goals — he can score against anyone
  • Piotr Zieliński brings creativity and experience from Inter Milan's midfield — a classy operator in tight spaces
  • Nicola Zalewski's pace and energy on the wing at Roma gives Poland a modern attacking threat on the flanks
  • Poland's defensive organization under Probierz has improved significantly, making them harder to break down
  • Lewandowski's leadership and desire to finally perform at a World Cup will drive this entire squad beyond their limits

The Verdict

Poland at the World Cup is basically the Robert Lewandowski Show, and we are ALL buying tickets! If Lewa scores, Poland wins. If Lewa doesn't score, Poland goes home. It's that simple. At 37, this is his farewell tour, and he will give EVERYTHING to make it memorable!


Tomorrow: #22 — Stay tuned for the next World Cup favourite!
