Key players

Slavia Prague’s surprise run to this season’s Europa League quarter-finals highlights some of the quality at the disposal of a country that boasts the impressive West Ham duo of Soucek and Vladimir Coufal. Burnley’s Matej Vydra is an attacking option for a side that can call upon in-form frontman Schick, who has scored three goals in their two Group D matches to date. The Leverkusen striker’s stunning effort from just inside the Scotland half at Hampden Park may well prove to be the goal of the tournament.
