Early Bird: Footballers Head to the World Cup After 20 Years

The World Cup will feature Czech participation after 20 years

Šulc's goal in the 3rd minute provided an unexpected advantage for the Czech underdog. After a set piece, the Danes managed to equalize not only in regular time but also in extra time. Similar to last week's match against Ireland, the Czechs were better in the penalty shootout, thanks to a saved penalty by goalkeeper Kovář, and could celebrate a massive success. They will appear at the world's most-watched sporting event precisely after twenty years.
