Netherlands, or maybe a derby !? The Czechs will wait another day for the opponent

The second place, which would probably be optimal, was within reach. However, in the end, the Czech national football team finished third in group D after a 0: 1 defeat with England, so that they will not know the opponent’s name for the EURO eight finals until Wednesday after the remaining groups have finished. There are two options. The Netherlands, or the winner of Group E, which can be made by anyone from the four-leaf clover Spain, Sweden, Slovakia, Poland.

After the defeat with England, the national team took third place in group D, and the progress had been certain since Monday. The second place was won by the Croats thanks to the victory over Scotland.

So the opponent for the round of 16 is not known yet. It depends on which groups four advancers from the third places will be recruited. Only then will the occupation of the first round of the elimination part be complete.

The European Football Championship, which was originally scheduled to be played a year ago, it starts on June 11 and ends on July 11.

There are two options for the Czech team. The first option is the Netherlands in Budapest. The second is the winner of Group E in Glasgow.

The first more probable variant is ideal for Czech fans. Budapest is close by, in addition it has a permitted capacity of 67,215 spectators. The national team would play against the Netherlands on Sunday, June 27 from 18:00. Czechs can go to Hungary without restrictions immediately after the first dose of vaccination or after undergoing covid.

The second option is the winner of Group E in Glasgow, where the Czechs played the opening matches with Scotland and Croatia. The whole four-leaf clover Spain, Sweden, Slovakia, Poland are also possible. However, the third team from group B or C should not be allowed to advance to this part of the spider. However, the trip to Scotland is de facto impossible for the fans, in connection with the ordered ten-day quarantine, it does not make time or economic sense.

We did the maximum we could in the group, evaluates coach Jaroslav Šilhavý

In complex progressive mathematics, the variant in Seville with Belgium eventually dropped out on Sunday from 21:00. The Czechia would go from the third place against the winner of group B (Belgium) only if the 3rd teams from the groups ABDE and ABDF continue. This cannot happen, Finland can no longer advance (B) and Ukraine (C) cannot advance, which has a better score.
