After three weeks of football mania Czechs have gone back to their everyday lives, swallowing the bitter disappointment over the national team's loss to Greece, which dashed its hopes of playing in the final of Euro 2004. Although the Czech team was not among the favourites at the start of the championship, the team's performance sent Czech hopes soaring sky high - and the eyes of the nation were riveted on Portugal. Never mind the fall of the Czech government and the shocking revelations of corruption in two leading Czech football clubs. There was a chance that our boys would be champions again and they were showing Europe -indeed the world - what football was all about. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/fotbal_cr_recko2.jpg?timestamp=1590297712 https://english.radio.cz/thanks-bronze-boys-8088422 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
