Analyst brief — Czech Republic going into Global Cup 2026

Editorial

Form

Came through the European playoff route under Ivan Hašek; Euro 2024 group exit accelerated the rebuild.

Style

4-2-3-1, hardworking, set-piece focused. Pragmatic over expressive.

Squad

Patrik Schick the centre-forward; Adam Hložek the wide threat; Šulc and Souček in midfield; Vitík + Krejčí in defence.

Tournament ceiling

Round of 16 with a friendly draw; group stage exit otherwise.

Biggest risk

Goal source — Schick is the only proven scorer; if he's out, options are thin.
