VOLGOGRAD, Russia (Reuters) - Poland will take no comfort from their consolation win over Japan in their last match at the 2018 World Cup and will need fresh players and possibly a new coach in order to move on from their shambolic campaign in Russia.

The Poles lost their two opening matches and were the first European side to be knocked out of the competition -- a shock for a team which cruised through their World Cup qualifying campaign.
