I have just read Vitória’s article about Brazilian soccer and envied them for having so many successful players to craze for. Then I conducted a quick survey among my lovely international co-workers. The question was: do you know any famous Polish sportsmen/women? The answer was ‘no’ and it didn’t really surprise me. Why does a 38-million nation lack even one international sport star?
