Poland v Brazil was a football match held during the 1938 FIFA World Cup in France and still remembered by Polish fans of this sport as the one in which Poland national football team debuted. To qualify to the tournament Poland had to beat only one team - Yugoslavia. In the first leg, on October 10, 1937 at Polish Army Stadium in Warsaw, Poland won 4-0 (goals by Leonard Piątek - 2, Jerzy Wostal and Ernest Wilimowski). In the second leg (at Stadion FK Partizan, Belgrad, April 3, 1938), Poles lost 0-1 (goal by Blagoje Marjanović) but, due to better goals difference, the white-reds qualified. It is quite obvious that Józef Kałuża, manager of the National Team, and trainer Marian Spoida, decided to choose almost the same players who had beaten Yugoslavia. There was only one difference - injured Wostal (AKS Chorzów) was replaced by Warta Poznań's Fryderyk Scherfke. ==The team== To Strasbourg, France, where Poland was going to play its first game versus Brazil (June 5, 1938), Kałuża and Spoida took 15 players: *Ewald Dytko - midfielder (Dąb Katowice), *Antoni Gałecki - defender (ŁKS Łódź), *Wilhelm Góra - midfielder (Cracovia), *Edward Madejski - goalkeeper (not representing any club at that time), *Erwin Nyc - midfielder (Polonia Warszawa), *Władysław Szczepaniak - defender (Polonia Warszawa), *Leonard Piontek - forward (AKS Chorzów), *Ryszard Piec - forward (Naprzód Lipiny), *Wilhelm Piec - forward (Naprzód Lipiny), *Fryderyk Scherfke - forward (Warta Poznań), *Ernest Wilimowski - forward (Ruch Chorzów), *Gerard Wodarz - forward (Ruch Chorzów), *Walter Brom - goalkeeper (Ruch Chorzów), *Edmund Giemsa - midfielder (Ruch Chorzów), *Stanisław Baran - midfielder (Warszawianka Warszawa). On the roster, there were two athletes who had never before put on a white-red jersey - midfielder Stanisław Baran and goalkeeper Walter Brom (who was then 17 years and 4 months old - up to this day Brom is the youngest goalkeeper on FIFA’s World Cup list of participants). In Poland, on stand-by reserve, seven players stayed behind. Those were: *Ewald Cebula (Śląsk Świętochłowice), *Józef Korbas (Cracovia Kraków), *Kazimierz Lis (Warta Poznań), *Edmund Tworz (Warta Poznań), *Antoni Łyko (Wisła Kraków) *Bolesław Habowski (Wisła Kraków), *Jan Wasiewicz (Pogoń Lwów). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poland v Brazil (1938 FIFA World Cup)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
