Czech Republic Defeat Saudi Arabia in World Cup Tune Up
Milan Baros scored in the 15th minute and Marek Jankulovski converted a penalty kick in the 90th minute to lift the Czech Republic to a 2-0 win over fellow World Cup qualifier Saudi Arabia in a friendly played in Austria on Friday. Neither team looked like world beaters, but the Czech side did control the run of play in a match where both coaches substituted liberally in the second half. Saudi Arabia looks to be improved from four years ago, but I still think they’ll struggle in Germany.
Saudi Arabia next face Turkey on May 31, while the Czech Republic take on Costa Rica on May 30.
In other action of Friday, Ghana and Turkey played to a 1-1 draw.
Later on today the United States plays Venezuela. Stop by the USA blog during the match for a liveblog.
