Summary/Abstract: A series of talks between three famous friends and artists (two writers and an actor) was entitled We apologize for the drawbacks and was published in an important Polish art magazine “Literature”. The talks were extremely popular at the time – it was a very special period for Polish football. The talks can be approached in many ways, i.e. as a commentary on the World Cup, as a reflection on sport and it’s transformations, as a document of intellectual formation and a kind of a portrait of certain characters. Kaniecki focuses on observations of these three commentators about the so-called national character.
