Poland went out of the World Cup with a dismal performance in South Korea against Portugal on a very slippery pitch in pouring rain. The Poles were completely outclassed by a much faster Portuguese team and the four nil score line was completely justified. Poland has no longer any chance of qualifying for the second round although it has still one match to play against the United States. The team is unlikely to receive a very enthusiastic welcome back home and what may happen to expensive advertising campaigns with products being endorsed by members of the team is open to question.
