Europa League
Ex-Slavs are in the semifinals of the EL, after the match they had to take a doping test! How did Soucek and Coufal do against Lyon?
If not Slavia, at least us! It is questionable whether this was heard in the Czech enclave of West Ham yesterday. Anyway, West Ham have achieved a great success! In France, they reversed a bad match from the London Stadium, which they lost 0:1, and on the ground of Lyon the Hammers won clearly 3:0!

In France, they reversed a bad match from the London Stadium, which they lost 0:1, and on the ground of Lyon the Hammers won clearly 3:0! In the semi-finals of the Europa League they will challenge Eintracht Frankfurt, who sensationally got past Barcelona.
Ex-Slav players Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal played the whole match against Lyon. They were even called for a doping control after the match! For what? Too much running? The Czech national team didn’t let the doping test spoil their joy!
“They don’t trust us again! Doping control after a unique match! Yesoo! Let’s move on!” tweeted Tomáš Souček, and Vladimír Coufal tweeted the same tone and photo.
“The worst thing that can happen after a match like this is a doping control! Enjoy the celebration in the booth guys! West Ham is huge!”
West Ham didn’t play as much with the ball against Lyon, but the Hammers outshot their opponents, both in goals and shots on target.
