text: why wasn't tomasz frankowski chosen for poland's team??? does anyone know why the polish coach did not select their leading scorer in qualifications? huge mystery to me. to the best of my knowledge, he was healthy and available. this appears to be, like some others, one of the more bone-headed decisions prior to the cup. fred as a brazilian striker is another, but don't get me started. only serious answers please. tomasz frankowski has a poor season at his club. he joined wolverhampton wanderers in january and has not scored a goal.  also, fred has been in great form for lyon and has scored twice in just 2 appearances for brazil.
