A futile effort to deploy. The national team did not even reach the second place in the group. The Czechs are simply caroling for a strong opponent before the draw.
Portugal, Scotland, Russia, Italy, Sweden and Wales. This is the six deployments from which the opponent for the Czech national team will emerge. Poland, Ukraine, Northern Macedonia, Turkey and Austria also escaped the deployment together.

“I would take the Islands again, we have some experience with that. I believe it would be in our power to advance through Scotland or Wales. We would have to prepare properly, but I believe we would have them, “wishes coach Jiří Chytrý, who represented the absent Jaroslav Šilhavý on the bench at the end.
Do not take Italy and Portugal …
The lot will be on November 26. “It simply came to our notice then. They are the reigning European champions, we experienced them before the championship, it would be difficult … During the European Championships, we were convinced that the place of the match is not so crucial again. Let’s wait for the lot. In Scotland, we are convinced that this can be done. We have to take it as it is. It is not worth solving, we are simply not deployed, “says experienced goalkeeper Tomáš Vaclík.
“Italy and Portugal would not be pleasant. We imagined easier opponents, but we want to go to the World Cup. We would meet such teams there. It is a challenge, I believe we will fight for the procedure, “adds defender Jakub Brabec.

Scotland and Wales would also take. “These are more acceptable rivals than Italy and Portugal. We played with Italy before the European Championships, it was not ideal for us. We managed Scotland at the European Championships in front of their fans, it would be easier, “Brabec confirms the Czech wishes.
The first play-off since 2005
Before the end of the qualification, the Czech team had only a slim chance of getting into the top six teams. He needed not only a move to second place in his group, but also a win of at least six goals and at the same time favorable results in the other two groups.
In the end, the national team remained in third place and will be among the six non-runners. He made it to the playoffs as one of the two winners of the League of Nations groups, who accompanied a dozen teams from second places in qualifying. In addition to the Czechs, Austria also advanced.

The twelve teams will be divided into three spiders for the four teams that will compete in the semifinals and finals. In total, the remaining three European participants in the World Championship will emerge, joining the 10 winners of the qualifying groups. Only one match will be played at a time, and while the teams in the semifinals will have the advantage of the home environment, the final organizers will determine the lottery.
The Czech team will play in the World Championship for the third time and for the first time since 2005. At that time, after two 1-0 victories, the national team eliminated Norway and won the only participation in the world championship since the division of the federation.
