AL RAYYAN, Qatar — Saudi Arabia coach Hervé Renard was sorry to disappoint his mom when Poland beat his team at the World Cup on Saturday. The French coach said before the match that it was going to be special for her because her parents were Polish, "but she will wear her Saudi national shirt tomorrow, don't worry." It's the first World Cup that Renard's mother has attended, and she was there Saturday to see Robert Lewandowski score one goal and set up another for Poland's 2-0 win. Renard says, "She won't be happy with me this evening. I'm sure she's really sad."
