No they didn’t. They are still The Czech Repubkic. They didn’t officially change a thing, it just got promoted about 10 years or so ago for branding purposes. It caught on in Europe. It’s not common vernacular here at all. It just doesn’t make sense for an American broadcast to use it

ETA; I’m over this. No need to sidetrack anymore.

Never said it was, but it being referred to Czechia on a broadcast of an international tournament has zero to do with soccer.

Here's the official name registration from 10 years ago to be internationally referred to as Czechia. This is a Czech thing, not an American thing.

I'm not the most versed in soccer. Seems like the Czechs are getting away with a lot of pushes.

Czechs are playing very physical. Trying to compensate against the more skilled and fluid Koreans. Good contrast of styles in this match

I'm still pissed at Czech for bending us over in our 2026 opener.

Hope Korea put.6 on their asses tonight.

This female announcer is annoying. Telemundo it is.

Hat Tip to FIFA for making the world’s game accessible to all.

This is way better than the Fox production. Plus it’s a faster signal OTA

If they must use a female, make it a biased Korean or Czech with the respective thick accent.

Make it more entertaining.

Telemundo didn’t go to commercial for the juice box break

I understand some of these words. The color guy yelled por que por que

Seriously, f*ck this hydration break BS. It's 77 degrees in Guadalajara and it's nighttime!

FIFA really sold out to American broadcast standards here. It's clearly a way just to let FOX get in a commercial break because they can't stand going 45 minutes without commercials.

Feels like the kind of game where the Czechs are going to sucker punch them out of nowhere.

Puma with a MAJOR uniform malfunction.

As far as the hydration breaks are concerned, FIFA has clearly decided that they’re just going to have all matches have them rather than have them applied haphazardly.

The section right at midfield is almost completely empty. Guess FIFA did not get their premium price for those! Best sport, worst organization. But the whole country of Switzerland exists just to steal money legally.
