Excellent Vaclik joked! Czech Republic and Slovakia had one big first time

The opening round of the Euros is almost over! The Czech Republic and Slovakia are countries that have seen it all together, but the European Championship and its opening round marks one big first! Fans are also taking notice on Twitter of the joker Tomas Vaclik, who has conjured up a clean sheet.

Let’s start with our goalkeeper Tomáš Vaclík! Before the tournament, the number one goalkeeper was discussed. Some experts said before the Euros that this post was the biggest question mark for them.

The former Sevilla goalkeeper sent a clear message to the critics. He held Jaroslav Šilhavy’s team on several occasions and thanks to his sensational performance, we celebrated a 2-0 victory over a resilient Scotland. After the match, he joked about his own address on the social network Twitter along with the national team page.

Under his retweet, the discussion was filled with superlatives. Both Czech fans and Spanish fans are gushing. “Octopus on speed… unbelievable… the best on the set,” reads one of the comments.

Czech and Slovak victory

In their opening match of Euro 2020, the Slovaks won! They beat Poland 2: 1 and entered the tournament with a very good result.

This is the first time in the history of the independent republics that the Czech Republic and Slovakia have won the same round of a major tournament (European Championship or World Championship). Let’s hope that both camps can build on the win.

Šilhavy’s team will face strong Croatians and the Slovaks will face the Swedes. Finally, let’s take a look at the provisional statistics of successful passes in this tournament.

The next Slovakian opponent, Sweden, has the fewest completed passes (89). Our national team is also not the best in the number of successful passes (242). Slovakia completed 336 passes. The Spanish team leads the passing statistics with an incredible 830 passes.
