Poland manager Adam Nawalka admits to being "really angry" following his side's 3-0 loss to Colombia in Kazan, but concedes that the better team won.

Adam Nawalka has said that he 'takes responsibility' for Poland's 3-0 loss to Colombia which ended his side's World Cup campaign.

The Eagles were second best in Kazan on Sunday night, conceding to a Yerry Mina header at the end of the first half and strikes from Radamel Falcao and Juan Cuadrado in the second.

Poland can no longer claim a top-two spot in Group H heading into their final match against Japan, having also suffered a surprise 2-1 loss to Senegal in last week's opener.

Speaking to Gazeta Pomorska after the match, Nawalka opened up on his intended gameplan and confessed that the better team won on the night.

"We regret it very much and we are really angry, but you have to be able to live with it," he said. "After all, tomorrow is another day. For me, this failure hurts the most, I take responsibility for it. I do not have a jumble in my head, it's sport, football. Such results are included in it.

"We knew perfectly well how dangerous the Colombia team are, how outstanding players have been in their composition, playing in the best clubs. Hence our pre-match strategy to attack them from the first minutes and to try to quickly score, and play carefully in the defence and go out for quick attacks.

"However, the Colombians were better and I think people will be loud about them this World Cup. As for the match against Japan, this rival is very well disposed, it is a team that plays very collectively. You can see the automatism in the game, repeatability, but also a lot of individual skill."

Japan and Senegal top Group H on four points, while Colombia are a point further back in third.
