Czech Lost - Strikers

"But a hamstring injury to striker Jan Koller in the first half of that game ended up defining the Czechs' heart-breaking experience in Germany, and the team limped to defeats against Ghana and Italy."

One of the main reasons why Czech lost. It was a brave effort by Nedved to lead a team who put their heart out to qualify for the second stage of the World Cup, but nonetheless, the team with the sufficient players stood out. Gambling with Baros match fitness is also relevant.



The game went out of hand and was affirmed a loss when 11 vs 10 men was on. Polak...argh you just have to do that with that silly challenge there. Gone are players like Nedved, Poborsky, Koller for the coming World Cup in 4 years time. Anyway it was a good game for the Czech with the exception of the match against Ghana.
