I agree but I'd bank on it against us.

You lot clearly have far more confidence in our team than we do. :D

I'd love to see us do the Czechs as well, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

We had a very generous 5,000 tickets from the Czech FA for our game in Teplice, so I imagine you'll get in the region of 7,500. Hope that helps.

Just got a letter from the FAI the Czech stadium in prague only has a capacity of 20,565 and the FAI are only getting 2 thousand tickets which is a bit sh*t.

|Yeah sure the czechs dont have any stadium with 35,000 seats in it.

And theres us moaning that 50k is too little for the new lansdowne road.

Seriously? Their national stadium has only 20,000 capacity?

F***ing hell......for a football country with their history and pedigree, that's shocking!

I know we played in a 17,000 cap. stadium but I assumed the national stadium would be a lot bigger.

The big day today. Come on Wales!

Come on Wales. 1-0. last minute peno. First minute og. Just win.

i reckon we are looking at 20,000 travelling in september

If so, then we are due another Bollywood epic :)
Will Mystic Stans's prophecy "There's still a lot of football to be played in this group yet" finally hit the bullseye?

Wales:
--------------Hennessey--------------
------Collins--Gabbidon--Nyatanga-----
Ricketts-------------------------Ledley
------Davies--Robinson--Koumas-------
----------------Giggs-----------------
---------------Bellamy----------------

Czechs:
--------------Cech---------------
Ujfalusi--Kovac--Rozehnal--Jankulovski

----------Koller--Baros------------

First half pretty dire stuff. But happy at 0-0. Still think Wales can win this with a bit more adventure in the second half. Hope the Welsh crowd start up singing. Very low key in first half.

koumas hits post...giggs nearly scores twice...czechs poor

Great 2nd half so far.

Hope this is a one off for Wales and not the start of a turnaround in fortunes.
They played dire against us at Croker and we still only managed to scrape a 1-0 win.
They still haven't managed to sore with all the chances they've had though.

Wales playing the better football in the 2nd half, 5 mins left.

another good chance for Wales
