Czechoslovakia took part in world championships eight times and was twice runner-up. After the country split, Czechs and Slovaks participate separately. Both have been able to qualify once each (2006 and 2010). FIFA initially counted the results of Czechoslovakia for both the Czech Republic and Slovakia, now only for the Czech Republic.

Final lineups

For the first World Cup in Europe , Czechoslovakia had to qualify against Poland . After the Polish team lost 2-1 at home, they did not play the second leg because the Polish government did not issue travel permits due to border disputes between the two countries. Czechoslovakia was thus qualified for the World Cup. In Italy, the team met Romania in the round of 16 and won 2-1. In the quarter-finals, Switzerland was defeated 3-2. This was followed by a 3-1 victory in the semifinals against Germany , in which the team benefited from mistakes made by the German goalkeeper Willibald Kreß , who then did not play another game. Oldřich Nejedlý scored all three goals and was the top scorer of the tournament with a total of 5 goals. In the final, however, he failed to score and the hosts Italy lost 2-1 after extra time. The Czechoslovaks took the lead in the 76th minute through Antonín Puč , who had previously been fouled several times. Raimundo Orsi , who won silver medals at the Olympic Games with Argentina in 1928 , equalized in the 81st minute and Angelo Schiavio scored the winning goal in the sixth minute of extra time.

1938 in France

Czechoslovakia against Netherlands in front of 10,550 paying spectators and a few onlookers at the only World Cup game in Le Havre

For the first World Cup in France , Czechoslovakia had to qualify against Bulgaria . After a 1-1 draw in Sofia , the second leg in Prague was won 6-0. In France, the team met in the round of 16 against the Dutch , who were beaten 3-0 after extra time, with Oldřich Nejedlý scoring his sixth World Cup goal with the last goal. In the second round, Brazil were the opponents. Nejedlý was able to compensate for the Brazilians 1-0 with his seventh and last World Cup goal and is thus the all-time Czechoslovak World Cup scorer, but since neither scored any more goals in extra time, it came to a replay. This was lost 1: 2. Goalkeeper František Plánička , who played through to the end in the first game against Brazil despite a broken arm at the score of 1-1 and did not allow another goal, was not used in the replay, as was Jan Říha , who was sent off in the first game. Plánička never recovered from the broken arm and did not come to another international match. He remained a record international player until 1963 with 73 international matches and was then replaced by Ladislav Novák .

1950 in Brazil

Although Czechoslovakia has played numerous international matches since 1946 , it did not take part in the second World Cup in South America .

1954 in Switzerland

For the 1954 FIFA World Cup , Czechoslovakia had against Romania and Bulgaria qualified , but also only in the last match after the qualification already it was clear at 0: 0 given against Bulgaria a point. In Switzerland, the team was not one of the seeded teams and was drawn into a group with defending champions Uruguay , Austria and Scotland - but they were not played against. Since neither Uruguay nor Austria scored a goal and both games were lost (0-2 and 0-5), the team was eliminated in the preliminary round.

1958 in Sweden

Czechoslovaks (in striped socks) against Northern Irish in a cozy atmosphere in Halmstad

For the Football World Cup 1958 , Czechoslovakia was able to qualify again and switched it off Wales , which was able to qualify for the only time against Israel , and the GDR , which took part in the qualification for the first time. In Sweden, the team first met Northern Ireland and lost 1-0. In the next game against defending champions Germany a 2-0 lead could not be kept and in the end it was 2-2. Although South American champions Argentina were defeated 6-1 in the last game , Czechoslovakia and Northern Ireland both had 3-3 points and since neither the goal difference (which was better for Czechoslovakia) nor the direct comparison (which Northern Ireland had won) counted it was a playoff for second place. The Northern Irish won 2-1 after extra time and Czechoslovakia was eliminated for the second time in the preliminary round. But this victory was not of much use to the Northern Irish either, because like all other teams that had progressed through playoffs, they failed in the quarter-finals. This nonsensical rule has therefore been abolished.

1962 in Chile

Final lineups

To qualify for the third World Cup in South America , the Czechoslovak team was drawn into a group with Scotland and Ireland . Since Scotland and Czechoslovakia both won their home games against Ireland and against each other, a play-off had to decide who would participate in the World Cup. In Brussels , Czechoslovakia prevailed 4-2 afterwards. At the World Cup in Chile, the team was drawn into a group with defending champions Brazil , Mexico and Spain . With a very defensive attitude, in which the team could rely on their goalkeeper until the final, and which was practiced by most of the teams in 1962, they managed a 1-0 win and a 1-0 victory against Spain with many players from the long-term European Cup winners Real Madrid 0-0 against Brazil. In the game against Mexico, Václav Mašek scored the 1-0 after just 15 seconds - it remained the fastest World Cup goal for 40 years - but the Mexicans were able to turn the game around and win 3-1. Nevertheless, the quarter-finals after the group stage were reached for the first time, as the victory was of no use to the Mexicans, who had previously lost both games. After all, the star-studded team from Spain was relegated to fourth place. Here a 1-0 was walled up against superior Hungarians . The more highly rated Yugoslavs , who defeated Germany in the quarter-finals for the first time , then waited in the semifinals . With a series of saves, Viliam Schrojf secured the second entry into a World Cup final at 3-1. In the final, of all places, the tournament's best goalkeeper made game-changing mistakes - and he shares the fate of Oliver Kahn , who 40 years later also brought his team to the final as the tournament's best goalkeeper and then caused the defeat through mistakes against Brazil - and Czechoslovakia defeated the new and old world champions Brazil 1: 3. In addition to goalkeeper Schrojf, midfield director Josef Masopust stood out from the team, who was also voted Europe's footballer of the year in 1962 . This had brought Czechoslovakia in the lead in the 15th minute, but just two minutes later Pelé's representative Amarildo equalized. Zito and Vavá , who became the first player to score in two finals, then got the final score in the second half.

1966 in England

For the first time, Czechoslovakia could not qualify for the World Cup and failed to Portugal with the eventual World Cup top scorer Eusébio , whereby the 0-1 home defeat in the first game against the Portuguese was decisive, as the second leg ended goalless. Since Romania lost 1-0, the home win against the Romanians and the two wins against Turkey were not enough for qualification.

1970 in Mexico

Four years later, Czechoslovakia was able to qualify again. In a group with Hungary , Denmark and Ireland , however, a play-off against the neighbors was necessary. Hungary and Czechoslovakia both had 9: 3 points after the end of the qualifying games, the Hungarians won the better goal difference and the direct comparison (2: 0 and 3: 3), but that didn't count. In Marseille , Czechoslovakia defeated Hungarians 4-1 and went to the first World Cup in Central America . If the playoff had ended in a draw after extra time, the better goal difference would have counted and Hungary would have qualified.

In Mexico, the team lost in the first game in a new edition of the 1962 final against eventual world champions Brazil with 1: 4, then against Romania with 1: 2 and finally against defending champions England with 0: 1.

1974 in the Federal Republic of Germany

Czechoslovakia could not qualify for the World Cup in the neighboring country and had to let Scotland go first. A 1-1 draw in Denmark was decisive, because the Scots won there. Scots and Czechoslovaks had won their home games against each other.

1978 in Argentina

After winning the European Championship against defending champion Germany in 1976 , the team had the hope of qualifying for the World Cup again , but had to give way to the Scots again. The decisive factor was a defeat in Wales , which otherwise lost all games. Against each other, Scots and Czechoslovaks had won their home games again.

1982 in Spain

In 1980, Czechoslovakia won the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Moscow . Since the players in the Eastern Bloc were state amateurs at the time , many of them could also be used at the World Cup. With Stanislav Seman , Libor Radimec , Captain Luděk Macela , Zdeněk Rygel , Oldřich Rott , Jan Berger , František Štambacher and Ladislav Vízek, there were also eight Olympic champions in the later World Cup squad.

Czechoslovakia was able to qualify again for the World Cup on the Iberian Peninsula . In a group with the Soviet Union , Wales, Iceland and Turkey , the second place was tied with Wales - but with the better goal difference - behind the Soviet Union, which also qualified for participation.

In Spain, the team couldn't get beyond a disappointing 1-1 draw against World Cup newcomers Kuwait in their first game and then lost to England 2-0. With a win against France the second final round could have been reached. But it was only a 1: 1, which sealed the end in the preliminary round.

1986 in Mexico

For the second World Cup in Mexico , Czechoslovakia could not qualify again . This time Germany , Portugal and Sweden were stronger and only Malta could be relegated to last place, but only managed 0-0 against them in Attard , with Malta taking the only point in the qualification. The 1: 5 home defeat against Germany was particularly painful.

1990 in Italy

The qualification went better four years later. For the second World Cup in Italy , Czechoslovakia was able to qualify together with the Belgians , behind whom they took second place with equal points and goal differences - but with two fewer goals. Portugal, Switzerland and Luxembourg were left behind this time.

In Italy, the USA , which was back for the first time in 40 years, was clearly defeated 5: 1. This was followed by a 1-0 win against neighboring Austria . In the final 2-0 draw against hosts Italy , the group victory was missed, but the round of 16 had already been reached. In the second round, the newcomer to the World Cup, Costa Rica, was defeated 4-1. The realized Tomáš Skuhravý , three gates u. a. With the 4: 1 the last World Cup goal for Czechoslovakia, because no more goals were achieved in the quarterfinals. A penalty goal lost 1-0 to eventual world champions Germany. Czechoslovakia said goodbye to the World Cup.

1994 in the United States

In the qualification the team started as Czechoslovakia. After the split of the state at the turn of the year 1992/93 into the Czech Republic and Slovakia , the team continued to compete as a joint team in 1993, but under the name Selection of Czechs and Slovaks (Representation of Czechs and Slovaks, RCS). Since only the third place was occupied behind Romania and Belgium , the qualification was missed. Only the Faroe Islands , who took part in the qualification for the first time, could be defeated in both games. This did not succeed against Wales and Cyprus . From January 1994, two separate teams appeared. The Czechs did not qualify for the World Cup until 2006 and the Slovaks only in 2010. Most of the tables summarize the results of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic, while Slovakia is only included from the 1998 qualification.

Share of players playing abroad in the World Cup squad

As early as 1934 in the first World Cup game, Czechoslovakia deployed a " legionnaire " in Josef Silný . The game against Romania was both his only World Cup game and his 50th and last international match. After the World Cup he returned to Czechoslovakia. But he was not the first World Cup legionnaire, as Yugoslavia had already used Ivan Bek , Ljubiša Stefanović and Branislav Sekulić , who played in France in 1930 . After the Second World War and the change to communism in the sphere of influence of the USSR there were no more legionnaires, as a change to a professional team in the West was not possible and there were no changes within the Eastern Bloc . Only players who were 32 years old and who had played at least 45 international appearances for the ČSSR were granted approval by the association. It was not until 1970 that 33-year-old Andrej Kvašňák was able to move to Belgium and was appointed to the World Cup team at the age of 34. Also Antonín Panenka , EM-hero from 1976 could only after 33 years Rapid Wien change and was at 34 appointed again in the World Cup squad. With the opening of the Iron Curtain in 1989, increasingly younger players switched to the West and in 1990 six of them were appointed to the World Cup squad. There were only two players left in the Czech squad for the 2006 World Cup who played in the Czech Republic and both were 33 and 34 years old respectively.

Games

Czechoslovakia played 30 World Cup games. Of these, 11 were won, 14 lost and 5 ended in a draw. Games had to be extended four times because a winner had to be determined. Two games were lost in extra time and one game was won. A game then had to be repeated because there was no decision in overtime.

Czechoslovakia never took part in the opening game and had to face the hosts twice: in the final in 1934 and in the preliminary round in 1990, both times against Italy .

Czechoslovakia lost four times (1934, 1962, 1970 and 1990) to the eventual world champions, and in 1962 they managed a 0-0 draw against the eventual world champions in the preliminary round.

In 1958 (preliminary round), 1962 (2 ×, preliminary round and final) and 1970 (preliminary round) the team played against the defending champion.

Czechoslovakia met World Cup newbies six times: 1934 (when you were a newcomer yourself) / Switzerland, Germany and Italy, 1958 / Northern Ireland, 1982 / Kuwait , 1990 / Costa Rica .

In qualifying, Czechoslovakia met a total of 29 different teams, the most frequently (4 ×) against Wales (1958, 1978, 1982, 1994).
