What should England expect from their Nations League match against Czechia?
Oi oi everybody, welcome to the Football Ramble! England face the Czechs and Scotland hosts the Swiss. It's Tuesday, 29th of September. I'm Marcus Speller. And my name is Luke Moore.
Welcome one and all to the Football Ramble on a terrific Tuesday in the United Kingdom, if I may say. Um Luke Moore, the wonderful thing, the wonderful news um and the latest update I can give you with regard to England's um international break is we're not even halfway through it. The great beautiful, isn't it? The great autumn international break of twenty twenty six knows no bounds.
It's like being ten years old in the summer holidays between school, isn't it? Yuddy, I've been off for ages. But I've still got four and a half weeks to go. Amazing. Exactly. Yeah, when you put it like that, Marcus, it just fills my heart with international football joy. You know, I open the door to my heart and I bleed international football.
And the trick is everybody is don't support a team that can win trophies and league titles. Well the trick
is just embrace it. We've seen that the Premier League has been undermined by cheating. Completely. It's a total fuss for the rest of the season. So why not just mark your cards, your calendars, until the next England game comes around? Well the good news is it comes around tonight.
Exactly. Exactly. Um yeah, did you b before we got to him, did you see Roberto Mancini getting all antsy? Well I had a I I had like a double contract. I mean, uh uh what wait, what sorry, Roberto?
Yeah, I I also think that someone posted that um He they had cursed his uh his team. Mm. So I think that got him on edge and he was struggling a bit to deal with all that stuff as well. It's very difficult to think coherently and understand what you're supposed to be doing when a man from Hartlepool of advancing years and uh declining health has uh crossed over to the dark arts and cursed you and your international team. I'd be angry about that, so it's understandable.
advanced in years. Right then. England um are away in uh Czech Republic tonight, kicking off at seven forty five. On paper, you have to say, Luke, on paper, that this is the easiest game England could face uh or will face in this group.
Why does England need a win against the Czech Republic?
Croatia obviously the other Opponents. So a chance for England to get some points on the ball. Because I want to remind everybody that the top two from the groups go through to the knockouts in the Nations League next year. And yes, I am very excited about the prospect of that. So because the Nations League has been such a smash hit, we don't just get semifinals, we get quarter finals as well. And and it shows you the power of lobbying because I've managed to do it.
It's needed. One thing we s we can all agree on is that is needed.
Yeah. So uh and it's and oi and the core finals were two legged affairs as well. Come on. So lots to enjoy next year as well. But but in the here and now, England need to get going, Luke Moore.
I would just say that um Prague is a beautiful place.
Beautiful.
Have you visited? You must have
visited. Only for a few hours, but yes, I've been to Prague and I've had a little goosey gander.
I've visited and I would say this time of year is a perfect time of year to go. Not too hot. Beautiful autumn um scenes. Um so I hope England fans have a lovely time. The the Charles Bridge, 14th century bridge. Yeah. I've I've walked over that. Named
after a long
time in the old town square. I've had a lovely old time on the old uh On the old uh absinthe as well. So be careful. Be safe. Be absinthe safe.
Yeah.
Um
what was the question? Um what did you drink in the Czech Republic? So you've answered that. Yeah, and
absinthe.
Yes. But England, they need to they need to get some points on the board as I say. Oh yeah, they do. Yeah.
Yeah, definitely. I mean l look they had they had a Incredibly entertaining game against Spain, as we discussed yesterday. And obviously Spain are the standout team not only in this group but in the world. So you have a bit of a push and pull with Spain and you get a couple goals past them. You know, there there are positives to be taken.
