Thursday brings the semi-finals of the playoff series for the 2026 World Cup. The spotlight is on the evening tie at PGE Narodowy in Warsaw. The match pits Poland against Albania.

Prime Minister’s comments

Warnings and optimism

The prime minister cautioned against easy optimism. He reminded listeners that Albania is a tough opponent despite past perceptions.

At the same time, he expressed hope. He said he will keep his fingers crossed for a win and progression beyond the playoff final.
