Czech Republic midfielder Tomas Soucek celebrates scoring during the World Cup Group L qualifier against Gibraltar in Olomuc. Nedved has a decision to make before hosting the Republic of Ireland in the World Cup playoff semi-final on March 26th. “We lost in Armenia and almost fired the coach,” noted the Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson. Czech Republic's interim head coach Jaroslav Köstl gestures during the qualifier against Gibraltar in Olomuc. If Ireland escape Prague they will almost certainly face Denmark at the Aviva Stadium.
