You don't need stars to play good.

Yes you do...
Nedved - Juve
Rosicky - Dortmund
Galasek - Ajax
Smicer - Liverpool
Koller - Dortmund
Baros - Liverpool
Cech - Rennes

All these players either star or at least play game after game for their club (maybe not Smicer but that's not to say he's not good enough). Polish players in that category:

Dudek - Liverpool
Olisadebe - Panathinaikos (not even a starter all the time)
Hajto & Waldoch - Schalke (last year, maybe. now I don't know)
Kaluzny - Wisla Krakow (not really but at least he shone in the UEFA Cup)

You know, I was gonna make that EXACT comment before I fllipped the page

You call those stars? You think the Czech Republic is a star studded team?

Nedved and all wasn't a star until recently.

Star studded teams are Brazil, Italy, France, Holland and so on. And the Czech Republic can beat any of their asses when they are ready

Martin, from that list, the only two players I consider close to stars are Nedved and Rosicky.

Depends on what your perspective of a star is then but established key player in top European teams seems a little more like it than the Polish squad, hence the Czechs do have a lot of stars in comparison with teams like Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Finland, Belgium etc.

sorry guys about what i said , but a local TV station said that Nedved suffered a Knee injury in this match . . .

sorry again

 

[Stu]

How serious is the injury? :nervous:

I guess. But the Czechs rocks still!!

 

[Martin]

They do, cause they have a bunch of stars

 

[Slagathor]

Yup.

 

[JuveCampione]

Erik, you think we can win France?

 

[Slagathor]

If Holland can beat France? Yes, if we play like we played against Germany.

VAN DER VAART WILL START FOR FIRST TIME

Tonight, against Moldova, Rafael van der Vaart will be in the starting line-up of the Dutch national team for the first time in his career.

Coach Advocaat has declared he made the decision after the last match against the Czechs, "The parnership Kluiver-Van Nistelrooy has been performing far too average or even below that even though I've tried many different systems. Tonight will be their last chance. I've decided to put Van der Vaart behind the duo as a last resort. If this won't work either, Kluivert or Van Nistelrooy will loose a starting place. It's unacceptable that a team with such quality up front scores so little."

The talented youngster was thrilled about his promotion, "I am very happy I have been given this chance. I won't let the coach, my teammates or my country down! This is my favourite position, there will be two of the most lethal strikers in the world in front of me and we'll destroy the opponent!"

Whether or not that will happen remains to be seen but we'll find out tonight, when the Dutch travel to the hyper-modern national stadium of Moldova.

Probable line-up: Waterreus - Ricksen, Stam, De Boer, Zenden - Seedorf, Van Bommel, Davids - Van der Vaart - Kluivert, Van Nistelrooy

Actually, I talked about Israel.

but it's now HT and 2-1 to France :down:
we lead 1-0 but Trezeguet scored. Zidane scored in the last second of the first half lucky goal

btw, today Holland will beat Moldova easily

 

[Martin]

Easily? No more than 2-1 though

 

[JuveCampione]

I was wrong again
very late goal by Mark Van Bommel!

Czech Rep. beat Austria 4-0! Pavel Nedved scored the first goal.

WHERE THE HELL IS MAKAAY!?!?!?

 

[Slagathor]

Makaay will probably be a starter now, after last night's pathetic performance

I am now officially hoping that the Czechs and the Austrians qualify - for football's sake...!

Zenden is playing Left back!!?!

First Zambrotta, then Janulowski, and now Zenden!!!!

This is crazy, they should now call the "LB" positon: "other!!"

Zenden started his career a left back and is the kind of player that can play anywhere except in the goal so it's not as big a shock as in theother situations you mentioned

 

[Majed]

really.....i never knew that.

i've always known that he was a midfielder (left, right, middle)
his realy position was always a mistory as he plays somewhere different everytime i see him.
