The game Wales have to win to restore confidence not only in themselves but with stand in manager Robert Paige. The boy NL is otherwise predisposed due to the arrival of his baby son a few weeks earlier than expected, although he is threatening to send me something.
World Cup Qualifying — Group E
Date: Tuesday 30th March 2021
Kick off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Live on Sky Sports Main Event
S4C, Radio Wales and Radio Cymru
Please also expect Wales on Line and a certain journalist to mention Cardiff more than he mentions Wales in any match report.
Meet the match officials
Ovidiu Haţegan will take charge of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Cymru and the Czech Republic on Tuesday night. The Romanian official was in the middle in Cardiff back in November 2019 when two goals from Aaron Ramsey guaranteed EURO qualification with a 2-0 win over Hungary. Haţegan also refereed the 1-0 win over Austria in September 2017 when Ben Woodburn scored in the 1-0 victory. A familiar face in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, Haţegan officiated two group stage games at the EURO 2016 finals in France as well as two games at the 2019 FIFA World Club Cup.Haţegan will be assisted by Radu Ghinguleac and Sebastian Gheorghe while Radu Petrescu is the Fourth official. All of the officials are from Romania.
Time to work the same magic as Saturday night
Wales vs Czech Republic: Head to Head
The last time the nations played each other was in 2007, when the game finished 0-0. The nations have only played each other 3 times with 2 draws and 1 win for the Czech Republic. Obviously when called Czechoslovakia other internationals took place before the country split.
Czech star man
One of the revelations for both West Ham and the Czech Republic has been Tomas Soucek with the midfielder offering a huge attacking threat. Soucek was in unstoppable form against Estonia last week, scoring a 20-minute hat-trick either side of half-time. The Czech Republic star also scored in West Ham's draw against Arsenal which is his fourth goal in the last three games for club and country.
Wales star man
As long as he is in a red shirt Gareth Bale will always be the star player for his country. Currently seeing a return to form at Spurs he has stated in the last weeks he wants to return to Real Madrid at the end of the season.
Here are the groups and Wales fixtures
 
Astonishing that Wales will play eleven games over the coming eight months, and with further Euro 2020 ( rearranged from last summer ) success it could be far more
Our visitors
The capital city is Prague, the historic center of Prague is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Castles, there are several hundreds of castles, chateaus, and mansions in Czechia. Czech people , are a West Slavic ethnic group and a nation native to the Czech Republic in Central Europe, who share a common ancestry, culture, history, and the Czech language. Czechs consume the most beer per capita in the world. You can go join them for a Pilsner-style larger (their most famous brew) in any old alluring pub — called a hospoda — around town. And finally, The only thing Czechs love more than eating mushrooms, is hunting for them. If the town is empty on St. Wenceslas Day (held at the end of September), it’s because everyone’s gone funghi picking in the forest. Unrelated to mushrooms but the statue of the state’s patron saint can be found in Wenceslaus Square — one of the most famous monuments in Prague. Isn’t that magic ?
NL digs deep in to the heart and soul of the Czech Republic in an in depth report
Ok folks, the Czech Republic is great for a piss up, it’s where I bought my Dukla Prague away kit and was thrown out of a hostelry for standing like Len Ganley whilst customers played pool. I even lost my white gloves I had bought earlier that day. They have no sense of humour whatsoever. My mate Ed had three fights there in one afternoon and blamed a bad pint, I reckon it was because he consumed three pints of X beer which if you haven’t tried it ... don’t. Every time he went to the bog for a dump after drinking it he sounded like he was having a piss. And he stunk like burning skin.
Anyone who drinks this stuff is a bloody lunatic
And this stiff turns your bum waste completely black with a purple glow
Food
Food in the Czech Republic is great, especially the kebabs and they now have three Burger Kings as well. For those called Jonathan or who like to think they are continental cultural types there’s garlic soup, ( I mean come on, get a grip ) Goulash which smells & tastes like cats excrement ( I served in the military, I have eaten dog shit sandwiches, I know ) or Roast pork with dumplings and cabbage. The last dish has a soapy taste like you’ve snorted a block of Imperial Leather ( yes, don’t ask ) the cabbage smells like wet towels and the dumplings would get you arrested if you tried to smuggle them in to the Liberty. Cuisine wise they are on their arse. Which is where I saw a lot of British tourists after a pint of local ale.
That’s it folks, another in depth analysis of our visitors on Tuesday. You’ve learned from the best, keep it real.
Wales players latest
Wales have released Hal Robson-Kanu, Rabbi Matondo and Tyler Roberts from the national squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic for breaching team rules. Although no details were given by the Football Association of Wales, Roberts has apologised on social media for breaking curfew. Wales have sent home West Brom's Hal Robson-Kanu, Leeds striker Tyler Roberts and Stoke loanee Rabbi Matondo from their squad for breaching team protocols.
Although no details have been given by the Football Association of Wales, Roberts apologised on social media for breaking curfew - although he has since deleted the post."Gutted to be leaving the camp early, but rules are rules and I shouldn't have been up in the hotel later than the set time," he wrote.

Why the low epectations?. A win tonight and the group is up for grabs. Wales have only one more game against Belgium and the Czechs are not world beaters weaker for example than say Poland or Ukraine. | |

Czechs beat England in 2019, they put 6 past Estonia in Estonia a week ago and then give Belgium the run around a few days ago drawing 1-1, I think the Czechs hit the post twice and had one off the line against the world #1's, I noticed the Czechs are favourites to win tonight with the bookies as well, I'm hopeful but just our luck to draw such a form team. | |

It's them and Turkey to watch out for as regards improvers and guess what we have Turkey in the Euro finals. | |

Mepham, Joe and Lawrence are looking lost, James trying to con a penalty instead of trying to score or assist, Bale showing why he’s not at Real and Morell!!!
If the Czech's calm down in the second half we're in trouble.
Cymru look like they are trying not to lose but aren’t carrying out the plan that well. |  |

We're not set up to play football with 5 at the back and 3 up top. They've got all the space in the world in midfield against Ampadu and Morrell.
Counter attacking plan isn't working. Ward's kicking has been appalling, can't even hit the side of the pitch he's aiming for. | | | |

Is right.
Somebody needs to release tramps from that dark valley he's stuck in.
This is toe curlingly awful. I can't understand how we manage to take people away apart from them wanting to go on the pyss like the rest of British fans. Away supporting is ,let's face it,primarily social. | |

Yep, we look exactly what we are.
The Czech comfort and skill on the ball make me wonder what the hell British players are coached in. ‘Shape’ and ‘leather it’ is the answer by the look of this. Still maybe we can do a Cardiff. If Moore is fit, he should be on. |  |
