Keeper, Petr Cech could be on his way to Barcelona. His agent was in Barcelona yesterday talking with club officials. Cech is only 21 years old, but he has 11 caps for his country.

I was a little scared about the match today in Minsk. For some reason I thought the Czech Republic would come away with a tie. Good to see the top players on the Czech squad scoring the goals.

Thought you may be interested in this, as they begin to address the chronic under-capacity witnessed at the recent CR vs Netherlands game.

The Czechs will travel to Lansdowne Road to play Ireland in March. I'm not sure of the exact date.

Czech squad for match against Italy on Feb 18th.

Goalkeepers: Jaromir Blazek (Sparta Prague), Petr Cech (Stade Rennes)

Defenders: Rene Bolf (Banik Ostrava), Zdenek Grygera (Ajax Amsterdam), Tomas Huebschman (Sparta Prague), Marek Jankulovski (Udinese), Martin Jiranek (Reggina), Roman Tyce (TSV 1860 Munich)

Midfielders: Tomas Galasek (Ajax Amsterdam), Jiri Jarosik (CSKA Moscow), Pavel Nedved (Juventus), Karel Poborsky, Petr Vorisek (Sparta Prague), Tomas Rosicky (Borussia Dortmund)

Strikers: Marek Heinz (Banik Ostrava), Jan Koller (Borussia Dortmund), Vratislav Lokvenc (Kaiserslautern), Jiri Stajner (Sparta Prague)

Baros and Smicer are both missing up front, but their absence gives Heinz and Stajner a chance to impress the coaches.

Hope Rumania stuff the Czechs both home and away, the Czechs record of not qualifying for a world cup will hopefully stand..

Romania will be a tough two games for the Czechs, but I think they should be able to win at home.

In other news, the Czech Republic tied Italy 2-2 thanks to a last minute goal.

Does anyone know if Javernik is likely to start for the Czechs at Euro 2004?
