5 of 8
The one good quality the Czechs have shown when they've gone forward has been the quality of their crossing.
Far more even game than it's been up to now.

He always seemed to be slow getting down for long shots but don't know if this is still an issue
Don't often see a game in which Fabregas' most memorable contribution after 60 minutes is a goal line clearance.

Yeah he doesn't fill me with great confidence, but he does seem to be the best we have, although I am a fan of Forester and Butland.

Well they lost their first match in the group stages when they won the World Cup, so first matches might not be their cup of tea.

Yeah, a far better creator of chances then one of taking them.

Too busy trying to pass it into the net.

I don't think Forster is an improvement on Hart, but I was really looking forward to seeing Jack Butland in this tournament. Terribly sad he was injured and couldn't make it.
