Friendly result
Czech Republic 1 Bulgaria 0
Man of the match: Baros
Goal scorers:
Czech Republic: Poborsky 35 mins
Report
After last night's diasappointing friendly of Germany Against Denmark, things improved in terms of watchability, as the Czech republic claimed a 1-0 victory over Bulgaria. Although the scoreline suggests a lack of goalmouth action, this game certainly threw up some chances, but with both sides guilty of not converting them into goals. For the most part, the attacking trio of Poborsky, Nedved and Smicer bossed the midfield, and created the early chances. A Nedved freekick after only the first minute, saw his shot go high over the bar. Infact the first 7 minutes saw 4 fouls in close proximity of the penalty box, but Nedved again, was unable to find the target. Liverpool's Milan Baros came close to scoring on 10 minutes after he picked up the ball on the edge of the box swivled and shot with the keeper making a good save to deny the Czechs their opening goal. The tall but well balanced Koller was a constant threat in the air and with his height took advantage from a couple of good crosses, but failed to convert his headers. Bulgaria managed to manufacture a chance and Berbatov turned, ran and shot, but his effort screwed wide of the post.
The Bulgarians, tried to stifle the Czech attack, marking the forwards tightly, and for the most part it worked, and if it wasn't for Petkov's goalmouth blunder that let in Poborsky on 35 minutes to score an easy goal, Bulgaria may end up reflecting on what might have been. Petkov picked up the ball in his own penalty box and did not clear his lines, he simply took too long over the ball, which allowed Poborsky in to rob the ball from under his feet, and he then smashed the ball low into the net, with keeper and defender completely dazed. I am sure the Bulgarian manager manager will have some stern words for the defender in the dressing room.
Bulgaria continued soaking up the pressure and managed to set up a good chance through Dimitrov, who narrowly missed the target with an unlucky 20 yard shot. The Czechs held out for a 1-0 win and for Bulgaria, who battled hard and kept most of the Czech forwards relatively quiet would feel that they deserved atleast a draw or should they have converted one of their own efforts a possible win. However it wasn't to be, and the Czech Republic gave a good, but not great account of themselves against a hard working, but not spectacular Bulgarian side, who most definately would feel extremely hard done by losing to such a soft goal.

"Italy Coach Names Starting 11 for France Friendly"
Italy coach worldrecord50leagues, has named his starting 11 for the friendly game at the "Stade Louis II" against France.
Wr50l has admitted that he is yet to find the proper attacking formula and is far from happy with his defence.
Italy, have been conceding too many goals from crosses, and he has replaced veteran Fabio Cannavaro with tall defender Marco Materazzi.
Despite all of his problems on the drawing board, he is confident that he can hold at least a draw against France. He said,
"If we play to our full ability and our big game players like Totti, Vieri, Buffon and Nesta can help the untested players like Marco Di Vaio and Marco Materazzi then we have a good chance of beating them."
The France game is scheduled for tonight on wr50l's PS2, leaving tournament organiser t1000v2.0 free to continue with other friendlies.

Il Corrierre Della Sera
Italy coach wr50l was delighted with his team's performance at the Stade Louis II earlier this evening.
His main worries before the match was his team's goalscoring problems, but he seemed happy with that afterwards saying,
"In previous games, we had failed to hit the target, let alone score, but from the start of that game we were shooting, we had a shot which hit the bar in the first minute of play! And I was pleased that we made 9 shots on goal today."
The only negative thing he had to say about the game is the way we conceded the goal. He said,
"I said at the start of the game that I was worried about the aerial battle, it is the only weakness in our defensive play. And we conceded a goal in the air too. I hope that we can sort this out as it may be our downfall in Portugal this year.
Della Sera spoke to some of the fans after the game, they were all full of praise for the manager after a superb performance against the european champions. But they were still not entirely sure about the appointment of a novice manager just a few weeks before Euro 2004. They said,
"We were so worried after the first few games when we lost to Portugal at home, then there was the terrible set of friendlies against Saudi Arabia, Marocco and Belgium, in which we only won once. We just hope he can turn the corner and beat the Netherlands next."
Italy face the Netherlands next at the Stadio Del Alppi, you can watch highlights exclusively on insighTV.

do you use the same stats as t1000v2.0?? if not why bother making these games, they won't show how good you are ... and i think it's better to focus on matches being made by him, cause now it's chaos everywhere, everyone is making his own games, it's up to you ofcourse but it won't be that fun anymore

Here's an extra bit of randomness (mainly cos there's nowhere else to post this so )
I played a full Euro 2004 today with all the groups set as they should be. I played as France on 5*, 10 mins matches. Here's how it went:
France 4-0 Croatia
France 1-0 Switzerland
France 0-1 England (Gerrard header from a corner)
(England qualify top with 7 points, France are second with 6)
QF France 7-0 Portugal (revenge for the defeat )
SF France 1-0 Italy
Final - France 1-0 Holland (Trez header from a corner).
(And Italy beat England 1-0 for 3rd place. Hang on, Is there really a 3rd place play-off in the Euros? I didn't think so. Nah, there isn't..... I think.)
Oh well.
