    Change it up a little bit from past threads, by including teams with Czech players in addition to the Czech clubs.

    Europa League qualifying rounds started this week and I know of two teams that have Czech players in this round (there may be others, but not that I know of):

    Slovak club FK Senica has quite a few Czechs on it's roster and a Czech manager. (Mainly appears to be mixture of young players that are there on loan and older players that would I assume would rather finish their career for a Slovak contender than a lower table Czech side.)

    The other is Rosenborg (Norway), where Bořek Dočkal plays.

    So far its looking like a good first leg for both teams:

    Senica picked up an away goal in a 1-1 result at MTK Budapest

    Rosenborg had a comfortable victory away at Crusaders (Northern Ireland) 0-3. Dočkal with one of the goals.

    Europa League updates

    Czech teams:
    Viktoria Plzeň will play Metalurgi Rustavi (Georgia) in the 2nd Round of Europa League qualifying. Rustavi defeated Albanian side Teuta 9-1 agg.

    Ml. Boleslav still waiting on the result of Thor v. Bohemians (the Irish ones) later tonight. The first leg in Dublin ended 0-0.

    Have to think both Czech teams will be favored to advance.

    Teams with Czech players:

    Rosenborg advanced 4-0 agg., resting some players (including Dočkal) for the 2nd leg against Crusaders (they had a 3-0 lead from 1st. Leg. They will take on Kazakh side Ordabasy in the next round.

    FK Senica and their Czech contingent also advancing today, with a 2-1 (3-2 agg.) victory of MTK Budapest. Former Brno player Jan Kalabiška with the winning goal for the Slovak side. Senica take on APOEL in round 2.

    Other teams with Czech players will begin in the 2nd round:

    Vitesse (Kalas): will play Lokomotiv Plovdiv
    Tromso (Ondrášek): will play Olimpija Ljubljana
    Anorthosis (Rezek): will play Levadia Tallinn
    Young Boys (Lecjaks): will play Zimbru Chisinau

    Goal Liberec!! Vojtěch Hadaščok with a nice finish in minute 23.

    Liberec have been in control as one might expect, but Karaganda had done a good job of limiting close range scoring chances before that.

    HT 1-0

    Liberec really could be up a couple of more goals, but they look out-of-sync in the attacking 1/3. Karaganda had a few somewhat dangerous looking moments on direct play as well.

    Liberec has an odd mascot:

    Karaganda just had a goal disallowed for a rather weak foul.

    And on the other end the Karaganda keeper just made a huge save on a shot from distance by Šural.

    The officiating has been poor.

    FT 1-0

    Slovan looked like a team that's still in preseason (by contrast Kazakhstan's league started play in March and is near its midway point), although still were the better side. They can't be too happy though, they had 4 shots on goal to the Kazakh sides 1, and 60% of possession but only managed the 1 goal. 1-0 is a precarious lead to take all the way to Kazakhstan, but I still like Liberec's chances to advance.

    The first half of Plovdiv-Vitesse has been excellent.

    1-2 Vitesse lead.

    The highlight goal was actually the Bulgarians' though, a well taken bicycle. I believe it was Kalas's mark, but there wasn't much that could be done. Other than that Kalas has looked solid, composed with good ball skills for a young center back. Despite the lead, Plovdiv have had the better of play, just Vitesse have done well with there chances.

    Another Gambrinus Liga alum on the Vitesse roster, Wilfried Bony is starting up front.

    Plzeň just went ahead in the 15th minute in Georgia, good start for them.

    edit: Vitesse just got denied a 3rd by a poor offside decision, the player was not involved in the play at all as it was a shot from distance.

    Plovdiv - Vitesse 2nd half actually out did the first, and the match ended 4-4. Vitesse with a significant away goal advantage going into the 2nd leg. Bony grabbed the third Vitesse goal.

    Viktorka defeated Rustavi 1-3, they look to be in good shape going into the 2nd leg.

    Ml. Boleslav is hosting Thor, Magera just scored for Ml. Boleslav, so they lead 1-0 in the first. He add's a 2nd, 2-0.

    3-0 the final for Ml. Boleslav, a bit disappointing, but should be more than enough to see them through. They out shot the Icelandic side (who have an American defender apparently), 26 to 2. Chramosta on a better day could have had a hat-trick, but failed to find net.

    They were pretty lucky that Nešpor wasn't sent off in stoppage time, he went in with a wreckless high boot, and cut a Thor player's head up pretty bad.

    Dočkal had another good day for Rosenborg, scoring both of their goals, but the final result wasn't great: 2-2 at home against the Kazakh side FC Ordabasy.

    Other Czech related matches:

    Senica with all their Czech league cast-offs lost 2-0 at APOEL.

    Anorthosis with a comfortable lead going into second leg following a 1-3 win at Levadia. Rezek actually on the bench to start this match, but came in at 70 minutes.

    Tromso with a 0-0 first leg at Olimpija Ljubljana, Ondrášek started and played 88 minutes.

    BSC Young Boys 1-0 at home over Zimbru, Lecjaks was not in the roster, not sure why.

    The draws for next round of Europa League qualifying were made, good news for Viktoria and Sparta, not so much for Ml. Boleslav.

    Ml. Boleslav will be taking on Olympique de Marseille
    Viktorka will play the winner of Aalesund v Tirana (1-1, Aalesund with the away goal)
    Spara will play most likely play Kalmar FF who won leg at Osijek 1-3

    I know Ml. Boleslav and Viktoria still have 2nd legs, but they are both in commanding positions heading after the first match.

    Never mind, apparently I was kind of hastily reading off a seeding page not the draw :oops: . The actual match-ups will be:

    Sparta vs winner of Zalgirus Vilinius v Admira (1-1 after first leg)
    Ml. Boleslav vs winner of Twente v. Inter Turku (1-1 after first leg)
    Viktorka vs winner of Ruch Chorzow v Metalurg Skopje (3-1 after first leg)

    Champion's league draw, assuming Slovan doesn't blow it in Kazakhstan would be:

    Slovan Liberec v. CFR Cluj

    Liberec advance 2-1 on aggregate with a goal in the 120' minute, a scramble in front of goal that ws ultimately tapped in.

    They will take on CFR Cluj in the 3rd qualifying round.

    Viktoria are essentially through, they already lead 2-0 (5-1 agg) and its just 15 minutes in the match (Ďuriš and Darida scored the goals). Also, a sold out (and very loud) stadium which is impressive for a match against a relatively obscure opponent in a Europa League 2nd qualifying round.

    Dočkal scored a stoppage time goal that put Rosenborg through at Ordabasy. I've seen reports that the Ordabasy fans were throwing bottles on the field after his goal, but it sounds like the players got out okay.

    Ml. Boleslav are well on their way to advancing as well, it is 0-1 (0-4 agg.) at Thor, Magera with another goal.

    Lecjaks did start and played a full 120 minutes as Young Boys Bern advanced on penalties.

    Tromso and Vitesse are also through with Ondrášek and Kalas both starting for their respective teams.

    Veteran Czech journeyman Patrik Ježek scored a goal for Admira (Austria), they are in good position to advance at halftime of their match with Zalgiris. They would play Sparta Praha in the next round.

    Kalas got a red card in the 2nd leg against Plovdiv, so he will miss the first leg for Vitesse against Anzhi.

    Liberec is missing a few players for the first leg: Rabušic, Nezmar, and Delarge.

    Starting lineup: Bičík, Kušnír, Tóth, Kelič, Fleišman, Šural, Vácha, Štajner, Bosančič, Breznaník, Hadaščok

    Liberec very close to grabbing an away goal there, first shot off the post, and 2nd just wide.

    And Cluj almost with a goal on the other end, huge save.

    Just over 30 minutes in, entertaining match so far.

    Halftime, still 0-0 in Cluj

    Contrasting styles in the 1st half, for the most part Cluj played really quick and direct, while Liberec was more methodical and trying to patiently pass their way through. Overall Cluj had a a couple more good chances than Slovan.

    Looks like no Mareček for Anderlecht today, they lead 5-0 late. Filip Twardzik is on the bench for Celtic who are 0-0 at halftime.

    2nd half starting, Lyulka in for Kušnír.

    1-0 Cluj, penalty for a shirt tug by Toth. Looked like a correct call.

    Štajner just had a 1-v-1 with the Cluj keeper, but unable to touch it over the outstretched keeper. Should have done better honestly.

    Well at least the official is consistent, but he's booked a player on each team for simulation when there was definitely some contact.

    Blažek on for Hadaščok.

    Cluj unquestionably the better side the last ~25 minutes.

    Slovan making final sub late, Morozenko for Štajner.

    Bičík keeping Liberec in it.

    FT 1-0

    Liberec have to feel pretty good with that result considering heading into the 2nd leg, especially with how the latter stages of the match went. Although, they did have couple of really good chances to pick up an away goal.

    Plzeň put in a commanding performance in their first leg, winning 0-2 at Ruch Chorzow, so a two away goal lead for the return leg. Ďuriš and Štípek the goal scorers.

    Ml. Boleslav are trailing 2-0 at Twente in the 2nd half.

    Sparta and Admira a few minutes from kickoff.

    Czech's elsewhere:

    Kalas was on a redcard suspension for the first leg against Anzhi, Vitesse will need a good performance in the 2nd leg as they lost 2-0 in Russia.

    The duo in Norway both started for their respective sides, Ondrášek scoring Tromso's only goal in a 1-1 home result against Metalurh Donetsk. Servette-Rosenborg is still at 0-0 in the 2nd half in Switzerland.

    Gecov on the bench for Gent in the first half, but may make his debut.

    Dočkal with another goal, gives Rosenborg an away goal, 1-1 1st leg at Servette,

    Trying to catch bits of the Sparta - Admira match, but apparently in Austria they are switching back and forth between that and Rapid Vienna's match on the same channel... On the plus side as a US teams supporter I get to catch bits of Boyd's match also, but it is distracting.

    Sparta do lead 0-1 in Austria though.

    2-0 defeat for Ml. Boleslav at Twente.

    0-2 for Sparta, very nice header from Kweuke, and a great move and cross from Krejčí to assist.

    Looks like Sparta and Viktoria Plzeň will be in great shape to advance.
