Czechia Hub
The Czechia national football team finished last in their group at the 2026 World Cup with one point and a score of 2:6. Former league striker Petr Mikolanda drew a sharp conclusion from this.
What does Mikolanda say?
Mikolanda said that Czech football is an Octavia next to Formula 1. He didn't mean it as an insult, but as a gap in decision-making speed, creativity, and courage to take the ball into space where it hurts.
Why is this important?
The Czech league may be growing at first glance, but it's growing thanks to foreigners. Domestic player production has been failing in the long term.
| Date | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|
| June 12 | Korea | 2:1 |
| June 18 | South Africa | 1:1 |
| June 25 | Mexico | 0:3 |
What else does Mikolanda say?
Mikolanda rejects the illusion that a change on the national team's bench will solve the problem. The national coach has players at his disposal only for short periods, cannot teach them a completely different football.
What is the current situation?
Current situation of the Czech national team: 4th place in the group, 1 point, 0 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses, score 2:6. Next match: September 26, 2026 against Croatia
