Okresní Přebor Prostějov - 8th tier

Vrahovice 0 Haná Prostějov 2

Attendance - 85

The first game of the season is always something exciting.  However, the big problem with this game was that at kick off it was around 34C.  This game was kind of a city derby, as Vrahovice is basically a part of Prostějov. The players had two water breaks each half, and I had numerous beer breaks.  I was just happy that I was not playing.

July 26, 2015 - Czech Cup 1st round
Šumperk (IV) 0 Opava (II) 3
Attendance - 750

Šumperk is a small city in Northern Moravia which is probably better known for hockey rather than football.  The football team now plays in the 4th division after being promoted last year from the 5th division.

The stadium is only a 5 minute walk from the main train station, but it has to be one of my least favourite in the Czech Republic.  Nothing ruins a football game like a huge track around the stadium.
The game was poor, and in all honesty I could not wait for it to end.  Opava brought around 100 fans and without them there would have been ZERO atmosphere.  A little dissappointing from the home supporters since it was a Czech Cup game.

SKP Vranov nad Dyjí

Vranov n. Dyjí is a small village of around 900 people located near Znojmo in South Moravia.  It is best known for a beautiful chateau, and most certainly not football.  The local football team plays in the IV třída which is the 10th and bottom tier of football in the Czech Republic.  The pitch looked a little smaller than regulation size and facilities were very basic.

June 27th, 2015 - European U21 Championships - Semi Final - Portugal 5 Germany 0

[b]June 27th, 2015 - Euro U21 SF[/b]

Portugal 5 Germany 0 (in Olomouc)

Attendance - 9876

This was my first trip to Andrův Stadion in Olomouc since November 2013 when I saw Canada plaz the Czech Republic.  Tickets for the SF between Portugal and Germany were only 100kc, which probably helped a decent amount of people showing up.  There was a small section of about 50 Portuguese supporters, but to my surprise there was only a small handful of German supporters.  The match was nothing like anyone expected.  Portugal dominated Germany from the kick-off.  As expected, the atmosphere was quite poor, but the Portuguese supporters did provide some noise.  Most people were preoccupied with doing the 'Mexican wave'.
