Perhaps the Czechoslovakia national football team deserves its own Wikipage. The team has a glorious past worth documenting, methinks.... -- PFHLai 17:30, 2004 Jun 16 (UTC)

Yes. There are many deserving topics that don't yet have articles simply because no one has gotten around to it yet. If you know enough to make at least a starter article, go for it! Cheers, -- Infrogmation 17:37, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Kits

To the Biggest Defeats list, add the World Cup match v Austria in 1954 (0-5). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.97.123.215 (talk) 00:09, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure that the home kit is mest up?The czechis never wore a red shirt,blue socks and blue shorts,they wore red shirts,blue socks,and white shorts.Thank You.--Cokepepsi 23:29, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm this. They wear the same [white] shorts for both home and away games. I've updated the kit colours on the main page. Gresszilla (talk) 11:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually to be more correct, they have previously used the blue shorts (i.e. vs. Ghana in the WC06) but currently (Euro 2008 qualifying) they are using white shorts, so I'm happy keeping the new edit. Gresszilla (talk) 12:00, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. Czech Republic had worn blue shorts against Ghana in World Cup 2006 because of a clash of shorts - I'm thinking this is a FIFA directive in World Cup play that teams must also wear different colour shorts in the event of a clash. Jonzi9 (talk) 17:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to the pictures on the BBC website - especially this one show they wear red shorts // Fi nns 19:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Penalties

The Czech national team(and the Czecoslovak team) is the only one that have converted 25 of their 25 penalties in the history of the European championships, and are the only ones to have beaten the Germans on penalties (1976 final).Can this be added?and,if yes,where?--Ujkaj4president (talk) 16:02, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FIFA ranking

I think that lowest/highest FIFA ranking is swapped. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.95.104.104 (talk) 02:35, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Head Coach

Did anyone verify that Vladimír Šmicer is a head coach of the national team? --ViseMoD (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:06, 14 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Biggest Defeat

Should we not rid of the results for Bohemia? // Fi nns 23:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Duplication

Michal Hubnik has been entered twice (when it comes to latest call-ups), but I am not sure which info is the correct one. 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Biggest defeat “for competitive matches only”?

My addition of the yesterday’s defeat has been reverted because “records for competitive matches only”. OK, that might make sense… but the current biggest defeat listed (3–0 against Switzerland) was a friendly match as well… There are no competitive matches resulting in a 3-goal defeat, AFAIK. And there are ten 2-goal defeats in the history of the Czech national footbal team. [1] So… what should we list in the article? Two record friendly defeats? Ten competitive defeats? Nothing? Something else? --Mormegil (talk) 22:39, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was my revert, may have been too swift in making it; having looked at other teams' pages it would seem there is at the very least no consensus to have the records for competitive matches only, and possibly even a trend to include "non-competitive matches" in this statistic. For now I am reverting back to Mormegil's edit. Cloudz679 (talk) 05:01, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Team name

There ought to be at least an allusion to the fact that UEFA graphics are now referring to the team as Czechia. Mjefm (talk) 16:03, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to change the article name

I propose to change the article name to Czechia national football team. As stated in the article, the official name recognised by FIFA (and UEFA) changed to Czechia in 2022. "Czechia" is now displayed in the TV broadcasts and English-language official UEFA news releases & tables for UEFA Euro 2024. In addition, the name change was adopted by many English-language media: I find it in the Euro 2024 coverage on Eurosport, The Independent, the Daily Mail, TNT Sports or ESPN. It's not universal, though: for example the BBC & The Guardian stuck with "Czech Republic". Rontombontom (talk) 10:35, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The name will be changed when the name of the Czech Republic page changes. FromCzech (talk) 18:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
