Now he says he WILL go. On August 13, to support Czech athletes.
I am not convinced that [...]

Obviously, he wanted to watch EURO 2008 soccer championships while the wife ordered him to change the channel so that she could watch cartoons. The cops calmed [...]

European Football/Soccer Championships started and Czechs face the Swiss in the opening match. Since football/soccer is the most favorite sport in this country, there should be more frequent sports-related posting for the days to come… My first impression from this match was: Switzerland was kicking our ass the whole time.

The list of the cities that want to host the 2016 Summer Olympics was narrowed down to four, and Prague was among the three that did not make it. I must say I am kinda glad because I am positive that is would be too early and “we” would not manage to build all the [...]

Repka repeatedly has problems controlling his temper. Everytime he does something stupid [...]
Downtown Brno was partly paralyzed this afternoon by a series of races known as Brno Runs. I even saw some Kenyan and Moroccan runners but they disappeared before I could position myself for a decent photo… I hate to say that the crowd discipline sucked as always. People would cross the sections of the corridors [...]

New York Rangers will play against Tampa Bay Lightning in Prague in October. The teams should play two matches: on October 4 and October 5.
The tickets are on sale and the cheapest ones are almost sold out. After a few hours…

Some fans of the 1. FC Brno football club have a very strange idea on how to show the team spirit. On the way to the last league match to Prague their buses were searched by the police. Among the items found were homemade hand grenades! Also some baseball bats, axe handles, sticks, or table [...]
