Czech Republic will take on Spain, Turkey and Croatia in Group D. Here's a look at their squad and how they will fare at Euro 2016.
At a glance
The Czech Republic's attacking game will please the eye and could make them a crowd favourite, but their inconsistency means they're unlikely to make a deep run in the tournament.
Home view
The mood in Czechia (still awaiting UN approval) has grown more buoyant after fans watched Tomas Rosicky dominate against Malta, then score his first international goal in two years, against Russia.
However, concerns remain. Coach Pavel Vrba is thought to be too wedded to his starting XI. He'll retain the rather lumbering David Limbersky rather than replace him with Theodor Gebre Selassie, for instance, and despite many calling for Tomas Necid to lead the line, it looks like David Lafata will remain up top. Vrba dropping Lukas Marecek and young forward Patrik Schick certainly failed to win him any favours either.
Most Czech supporters are pessimistic (they may consider it "realistic") about the team's chances, pointing to a difficult Group D which features Spain, Croatia and Turkey.
Star man
It has to be Rosicky, doesn't it? Having played just 19 minutes for Arsenal this season, few thought he'd be a key figure at Euro 2016. But the 35-year-old has made a full recovery from his latest injury, and he's likely to exert a positive influence on his squad in France.
There's no denying that a healthy Rosicky makes the Czech midfield tick. He orchestrates the game from his central role, still driving the team forward even if he might not be as quick as he was in his younger days.
It was thought that Rosicky would be used sparingly in France, if at all, but after an impressive performance in Czech Republic's 6-0 win over Malta and a defining goal against Russia, he'll almost certainly be in the starting XI.
But even if the captain is on the bench, then his flair and flourishes can still be used to dramatic effect, perhaps changing a result late in the game. And the mere presence of the veteran -- he's amassed over 100 caps -- can provide leadership to a squad in which unity is essential to the game plan.
Potential pitfalls
Vrba has a predilection for attacking football, so the majority of his team's weaknesses lie in defence. The full-backs in particular are likely to create openings that allow the opposition to pounce. At 32, left-back Limbersky no longer looks sharp enough to provide adequate coverage at the back and while Pavel Kaderabek often plays a hand in the goals, the right-back can get a little distracted, making supporters' nerves rise.
There's also a danger in relying on Rosicky. When the captain is on top of his game, the side seems to flow effortlessly. But when he's not switched on, as during the first half of the Russia game, the Czechs flounder, moving sluggishly. Vladimir Darida has proved himself more than capable of filling Rosicky's role, but it's hard to see Vrba benching the team's talisman. Then again, it's difficult to see Rosicky lasting long without injury, so Vrba will need to engage in a meticulous balancing act.
Predicted finish
The last time the country changed its name, splitting apart Czechoslovakia to become Czech Republic, the team came second at Euro 1996. Twenty years later, the country is, colloquially for the time being, Czechia -- but don't expect a similar finish. They're likely to make the round of 16, but will probably face a tough opponent who will send them packing.
