Erm, that's not quite right; the Czech team qualified for the play-offs, they didn't qualify directly; only the two "best" second-placed teams qualify directly, and those are either England or Poland, and either Croatia or Sweden (whoever finish second in their group).

yes, sorry about that. This is too complicated for me to keep up with, sitting in front of a German Fernseher, where we only get this shitty friendly play between Germany and China today...

My heartfelt condolences, that must be dreadful...

ah, but at least it's in ARD, which means we get Günter Netzer to comment at halftime and afterwards and damn if that isn't worth a long tedious game. Lots of humourous to and fro between him and the guy who presents the blahblah. You get all these little stings between the two and then some pretty accurate, but off the wall assessments by Mr. Netzer. Just switch to ARD in 45 minutes or so and catch some of it, I'd say.
