For those not involved in the Nations League this week, World Cup qualifying begins. In Group L – where a fifth team will be added after this round of matches organized by UEFA – the Czech Republic, one of the favorites to qualify or at least reach the playoffs, will face the Faroe Islands.
There could not have been an easier debut for the hosts. Three points are assured against a national team that will never, ever have the opportunity, at least not through sporting miracles, to play in the final stages of a World Cup or European Championship. Of course, the Faroe Islands have won two of their last ten games, so they are capable of putting something into practice, but it is also the Czech Republic’s progress that tells us that there is no chance of coming out of this first game unscathed.
Yes, because the hosts are coming off five consecutive positive results, which clearly highlight one thing: they are in excellent form and no one has any intention, in this first outing, when the points really start to count, of letting up and not getting off to the best possible start. And then there are the previous encounters: six in total, all won by the Czech Republic, without ever conceding a goal.
