[Canadian_Supporter]

Zlin plays later today in the Inter-Toto Cup.

Sigma will play Pogon of Poland in the next round.

[Canadian_Supporter]

Zlin tied Neman 0-0 at home to advance 1-0 to the 2nd round of the Inter-Toto Cup. They will play Gent (Belgium).

Slovan Liberec will play Beitar Jerusalem and Sigma Olomouc will play Pogon (Poland).

Lukáš Jarolím has signed with Slavia Praha from 1. Slovacko. His father coaches Slavia.

David Hubáček has signed with Slavia from Zlin.

Dušan Švento (Slovak U21 international) has also signed with Slavia.

[Canadian_Supporter]

Slavia beat Pardubice (Div 2) 2-0 in a friendly yesterday.

[Canadian_Supporter]

Sigma wins 1-0 on a goal by Babnic in the 35th minute. The score is about what I expected. Should be an interesting return leg....

Inter-Toto update:
Liberec won the opening leg of their second round matches against Beitar (ISR) 5:1.

Liberec plays in Jeruselem this Sunday for the return leg. While Olomouc plays Pogon (POL) this Saturday...and try to hold their 1:0 lead from the first leg.

Czech League update:
Liberec striker Miroslav Slepicka went to Sparta via transfer. More here: http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UCL/news/Kind=1/newsId=315000.html

World Cup Qualifying:
The Czech Team page on the official FIFA World Cup site is here: http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/t/team/overview.html?team=cze

Champions league:
And Slavia is PO'd about loosing there seeding to Liverpool should Liverpool advance to the third round (which is likely). Slavia's appeal to UEFA was rejected. Read more here: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/headlinenews?id=336459&cc=5901

[Canadian_Supporter]

I can understand why Slavia is a little upset. They lose their seeding just to make Liverpool happy.

Granted, the champion probably should be in the Champions League the following year, but not according to the rules.

Intertoto Cup:
Should the three Czech sides advance out of the second round this weekend, here's who they would face next:

Liberec would play Roda JC (Ned)
Sigma against BV Borussia Dortmund (GER) and
Zlin versus Valencia (ESP)

Czech international Milan Baros:
For those of you who follow this Czech...here's a story on his club future: http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/3744042

Zlin drew with AA Gent and are done in the tournament, going out on aggregate 1:0.

Liberec can away from the Netherlands with a 0-0 tie against Roda.

[Canadian_Supporter]

Sigma has a player on trial who played with the University of Milwaukee up until 2004. I forget his name at the moment, but he is actually from Sweden.

Milwaukee played Sigma a few years back in a friendly game.

Good to see Horka make it to the next round. I went to a number of their games a few years ago. Currenlty they sit in the Czech 4th division. Horka is a village of only a few hundred people... just north of Olomouc.
