Midfielder Maciej Rybus said that the team played well for 15 minutes against Colombia in Monday's (AEST) Group H match, but then something "went wrong" with their opponents punishing Poland with three unanswered goals.
Poland have now lost both of their group matches, after fall to a 2-1 defeat to Senegal in their first match of the World Cup, and are bottom of Group H with zero points.
"Today we've played against a very good team. A better team than we are... We played well for the first 15 minutes and then something went wrong and the opponent punished us," Rybus said post-match.
Poland will play Japan in their final game on Thursday before heading home.
"We'll be preparing for the next match, we want to win. We understand that we won't be able to make it into the knockout stage but we have to play for our fans and give them a little to cheer about. It's well-understood that everyone is upset, we are too. It's a pity that we've lost two games," Rybus said.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will continue until July 15, with the matches being played in 11 cities across Russia.
