#CZECH REPUBLIC

Polish football national team (led by coach Stefan Majewski) lost 0-2 its match against Czech Republic on Saturday. Due to this defeat, Poles don't have even mathematical chances to be qualified to the World Cup 2010 which takes place in South Africa. Czechs were visibly a better team and could lead 1-0 in the 37th minute, however the referee didn't recognise Milan Baros's goal. Both goals were stroke in the second half. Legia's Jakub Rzeźniczak and Maciej Iwański played in the match whole 90 minutes.

Polish national team only drew 1-1 with Northern Ireland (World Cup 2010 preliminary competition) at the Śląski Stadium in Chorzów yesterday. The first goal was scored in the 38th minute by the away team. Its author was Kyle Lafferty. Poles managed to equalise ten minutes before the end of the game thanks to Aaron Hughes's own goal. Although Poland only drew its match, it still has chances to win the promotion to the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

Legia's goalkeeper, Jan Mucha, has been called up to the Slovakian national team, again. "Muszkin" is one of 22 players who have been called up by coach Vladimir Weiss for September games against Czech Republic and Northern Ireland (World Cup 2010 preliminary competition). For the place in the squad he'll have to compete with Lubos Kamenar from FC Nantes. Thanks to Mucha's good disposition, he has been regularly appearing in the Slovakian national team.
