The 2006 FIFA World Cup is Poland's 7th
successful World Cup qualifying campaign. In their début in
1938, the Poles were eliminated early on, after a remarkable 6-5
loss to Brazil. Poland enjoyed greater success in 1974, prising
third place from Brazil in Germany with a goal by Lato. In 1982, the
Polish team repeated their 1974 performance. In the semi-finals they
came up against the on-form Italians and lost by 2-0. They went on
to defeat France 3-2 and claimed third place overall.
The team will be playing in Group A along with Germany, Costa Rica
and Ecudor.
The Star Men are Artur Boruc and Maciej Zurawski, both of Celtic.
