Mexico City: Poland must fight it out with Mexico for second spot in Group C at the World Cup since Argentina are the overwhelming favourites to win the group, Polish winger Jakub Kaminski has said.

The 20-year-old told ESPN he saw Argentina as strong candidates to win the tournament, but was confident that Poland’s more conservative style of play would see them through to the knockout stages.

“Argentina are the Group C favourites. I think we can fight with Mexico for the second spot,” Kaminski, who plays in the Bundesliga for VfL Wolfsburg, said.

“Our strength is to be a team that defends and we have a different game than Argentina or Mexico. They have a different kind of football, a more attacking football.”
