Czechs lose to Spain in EURO 2012 qualifier

The Czech national football team lost to Spain 2:0 in Prague on Friday, in a qualifying game for the EURO 2012. The Spaniards eased their way past the Czechs, scoring twice early in the game. The hosts showed a great deal of respect for the reigning world and European champions, and only picked up some courage before half time but Michal Kadles, Tomáš Rosický and Milan Baroš failed to convert some of the rare opportunities. The visitors, who had already qualified for the Euro cup, dominated the game, showing a far superior play. The Czechs now rank second in the qualification’s I Group, two points ahead of Scotland.
