Czechs beat Latvia 4:1 in last warm-up before Euro 2012 qualifiers

The Czech Republic’s footballers beat Latvia 4:1 in a friendly on Wednesday night. All the goals came in the second half, with the first scored by Roman Bednář, who was making his first appearance for the national side since being photographed by a UK tabloid buying drugs last year. The other Czech players to get on the score sheet were Martin Fenin, Zdeněk Pospěch and substitute Tomáš Necid. Next month the Czechs – who failed to make it to this summer’s World Cup – start their campaign to reach the 2012 European Championship with a tie against Lithuania. Their group also includes world champions Spain, Scotland and Liechtenstein.
