A Czech paper has offered a whole lot of shekels to encourage San Marino against Slovenia tonight. If the Slovenians win, the Czechs will be spending next summer on the beach.

Stay up late for Uruguay vs Argentina tonight


England the hors d’oeuvre ahead of an Argentine main course

Splosh

Starting at 5pm, you can take your televisual pick from five meaningless World Cup qualifiers, before the real action starts at a slightly-inconvenient-if-you-work time of 11.

Germany (already through) vs Finland (already out) help ESPN stave off the test card from 5pm, before channel hoppers enter heaven at around 7. Sky Sports 2 at 6:30 is the place to be to watch Shay Given clap the crowd who in turn will be clapping him, as he wins his 100th cap against Montenegro. Meanwhile Slovenia’s inevitable win in San Marino, makes Czech Republic vs Northern Ireland (7:20 BBC red button) another dead rubber.

Liverpool TV is the place to watch the top two in Group 5. Turn on at 6:45 for Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Spain, a match Rafa doesn’t want any of his stars to play in, although presumably LFCTV advertising execs take an opposing view.

Or walk the way of ITV1 at 7:30 to watch Gabriel Agbonlahor, Ben Foster, Michael Carrick and assorted others once more prove they aren’t quite up to international football. But all this is mere flotsam and jetsam compared to the second oldest derby in international football. Separated by the widest river in the world, tonight’s result could ensure many more miles will be separating the players of Uruguay and Argentina next June. Maradona’s men need a draw to qualify, but should they lose, and Ecuador win in Chile, the World Cup 2010 will take place without the world’s best player. Sky Sports 1 at 11 for the game of the season thus far.

UPDATE The Chile vs Ecuador match bizarrely (and slightly unfairly) kicks off an hour earlier, so if the away side win that game, the second half in Montevideo really will be something.

Any predictions? Let us know below…

WAG No. 349: Michaela Ochotská


The former First Lady of Czech football

Michaela Ochotská

Michaela Ochotská is a TV presenter, actress and bikini enthusiast from the Czech Republic. The 24-year-old beauty has modelled for Playboy and FHM, credentials that earned her the attention of Tomáš Ujfaluši, the former Czech captain who retired from international football in disgrace after being caught going at it with prostitiutes.

After boffing the lovely Michaela, Ujfaluši married former Miss Czech Republic Kateřina Ujfaluši. The pair have since divorced, however, leaving the Atletico Madrid star alone with his hair straighteners.

Six Czech Republic stars indefinitely suspended following prostitute scandal


Like moths to a flame, Czech footballers once again show their working girl weakness

Czech prostitute scandal

The shit really seems to be hitting the fan in Czech football at the moment. National manager of only eight games Petr Rada was sacked yesterday, following a 2-1 defeat to neighbouring Slovakia that has put their World Cup Qualification plans into jeopardy.

“Because of the current environment in the Federation and the media, I don’t want to represent the country anymore,” said Rada, clearly not realising that he did not have a say in the matter.

Rada’s ungracious exit was not helped by the extracurricular activities of his players. Following the Slovakia defeat, six Czech players were photographed entering a restaurant by Czech tabloid Blesk. Shortly after, a taxi pulled up, containing three ladies of the night. The party were snapped leaving the restaurant at 6.30 the following morning.

The shamed footballers are Atletico Madrid defender Tomas Ujfalusi, West Ham’s Radoslav Kovac, Reading midfielder Marek Matejovsky, Martin Fenin (Eintracht Frankfurt), Vaclav Sverkos (Sochaux) and former Liverpool star Milan Baros. All six have been

WAG No. 279: Tereza Franková


Yet more hotness from the Czech Republic

Tereza Franková

Milan Baroš is lucky enough to be engaged to Tereza Franková, a lady who is not only extremely good looking, but also very thoughtful.

The Czech WAG wanted to give her man a present that he could appreciate for his birthday, but struggled to find something that a fabulously wealthy footballer doesn’t already possess. Tereza was aware that Baroš owned a lifestime supply of chest wax, so instead opted for the brilliant idea of celebrating Milan’s 27th birthday by posing for a sexy calendar.

WAG No. 278: Jana Pavelková


A fan of Czech footballers and cheesy phtography

Jana Pavelková

Not only do the Czechs insist on using a crazy unpronounceable accent-filled language, but they also have an obsession with bizarre couple’s photoshoots. We’ve already seen the efforts of Tomáš Ujfaluši and his wife Kateřina, and now FC Sochaux striker Václav Svěrkoš and his wife Jana Pavelková are at it.

WAG No. 270: Hedvika Koller


Pretty model marries huge, scary looking man

Hedvika Koller

After yesterday’s rather splendid appearance from WAG Klára Medková, we thought it highly appropriate to keep the Czech Playboy model theme going today. The lady above is Hedvika Koller, the wife of gigantic Czech Republic and Krylya Sovetov Samara (huh?) striker Jan Koller.
