I remember, 2014, everyone was so hyped about the WC, but that's completely different nowadays.
LOL I wish Polish media learned from this. Basically every four years (and also on Euro 2012) we have a cycle: insane hype, great expectations, then the first match is actually played and we lose it in a worst possible way, and it's almost a kind of a national tragedy (that;s how strong the reactions from media and the viewers are), the second one is deemed a "match for everything" that will decide if we pass the elimination round, usually played against actually decent team and we obviously lose it.... so the last match is a "match for honor" - which we win - even though we honestly lost all honor in that first one.
I hate my country.
