		Although Karel Bruckner's side dominated in terms of possession they failed to break the deadlock in the first period and then conceded a goal in first-half stoppage time to Maris Verpakovskis.
		Poborsky was next to threaten as he surged down the right before firing just over the bar from the corner of the penalty area.
		It was all down to the persistence of Poborsky who kept the ball in play and delivered the ball into the middle and, despite Kolinko's best efforts, it fell to Baros who drilled home.

	euro 2004 - Czechs want to win Euro 2004 for Poborsky
		In his career, Poborsky has not only travelled widely and played for many clubs, he has also carried an image of the Czech Republic's style and verve with him - a responsibility that is appreciated by the rest of the squad.
		It was a pass from Poborsky that set up his first goal against Denmark in their quarter-final and it was from Poborsky's right-wing corner that Jan Koller had headed the important opening goal.
		Poborsky also contributed generously to the goals scored against Latvia and the Netherlands in their group games and his performances in Portugal have proved that, while he was not a huge individual success at Manchester United, he remains a high-quality international-class player.

		Poborsky is 32, Nedved is due to turn 32 at the end of August and Smicer is 31.
		While Nedved went round at the end of the heartbreaking climax congratulating the Greek players and talking to officials Poborsky - a different class of player to the one that disappointed at Manchester United after his Euro 96 starring role - was hunched dejectedly on his knees with his head in his hands.
		One can only hope that dodgy knees and all he will be back with his two fellow Musketeers for the 2006 World Cup finals, but the odds must be that the stirring memories of the Dutch match will remain the testament to their great talent.

	Soccer Fans Network Forums - Poborsky is staying
		Poborsky spent much of the first half of the season on the sidelines, but his run in the first-team coincided with a run of five straight league wins in November and early December that shot the club up the table and into contention for a Champions' League place.
		Poborsky also confirmed on Tuesday that he will be available for selection should the new Czech Republic coach Karel Bruckner want to pick him.
		Karel Poborsky's agent, Giorgio De Giorgis, has revealed that if Lazio do not contact him soon, they might start looking at some of the many offers from other clubs, that he has already received.

		It was Poborsky who was brought down in the box for the penalty that briefly threatened to win the Czech Republic the final against Germany, before Oliver Bierhoff's two strikes.
		It had been a great year for him, with his then club side Slavia Prague winning the Czech title and also reaching the last four of the Uefa Cup, and he was selected for the official Euro 96 Team of the Tournament.
		Poborsky then started the final seven games, scoring in the 3-0 win over Bosnia - his first goal since that strike against Portugal three years and 30 matches previously - and is expected to be an automatic first-team choice this summer.

		Poborsky tried to catch out Sorensen with a cheeky chip on 84 minutes after receiving a ball from Nedved from a short corner, but his effort sailed just over the crossbar.

		Karel Brückner's side came from behind to deny Latvia a remarkable opening victory in Group D. Two goals in the last 17 minutes gave the much-fancied Czech Republic a narrow win against game and unheralded Latvia in a pulsating UEFA EURO 2004 Group D encounter in Aveiro.
		Maris Verpakovskis gave the Baltic nation a shock lead just before half-time, but Liverpool FC striker Milan Baro came up with a 73rd-minute leveller and substitute Marek Heinz grabbed an opportunist winner that was reward for ceaseless second-half pressure from Karel Brückner's side against the spirited underdogs.
		Brückner was able to field his preferred starting lineup, while his opposite number Aleksandrs Starkovs placed his faith in Valentins Lobanovs in the important holding role in front of the Latvian defence, which was expecting plenty of work against the 1996 runners-up.

		When the Czech football team take the field against Canada in a friendly in Teplice on Saturday, all eyes will be on Karel Poborsky; the 31-year-old midfielder will be making his 90th appearance for the Czech Republic, equalling the caps record set by Zdenek Nehoda in the 1980s.
		Poborsky played his first game for the Czech national team in 1994 but really made an impression two years later, with an unforgettable chipped goal at Euro 96.
		Poborsky joined Manchester United soon afterwards, and later had stints at Benfica and Lazio, before last May moving to Sparta Prague, where he is captain.

		Aleksandrs Starkovs' big-stage debutants from the Baltic - considered the lightweights in what is otherwise a very tough pool - defended their lead with vigour but finally the Czechs wore them down in the second period at Aveiro's colourful Estadio Municipal.
		The Czechs produced a flowing move involving Baros, Karel Poborsky and Nedved which ended with Latvia goalkeeper Aleksandrs Kolinko doing well to tip the ball away from the head of Koller.

		Karel Poborsky has completed his transfer from Manchester United to Benfica.
		Poborsky, nicknamed The Express Train, has joined Benfica for an undisclosed fee 18 months after he arrived at Old Trafford in a £3.5million move from Slavia Prague.
		Poborsky faced not having his work permit renewed at the end of the season because he was falling below the target of playing in 75 per cent of matches and United manager Alex Ferguson admitted that was the main reason why he let him go.

		Baros rifled the equaliser in the 73rd minute from a Karel Poborsky cross after the Latvians had shocked the Czechs with a brilliantly fast and simple counter-attack finished by striker Maris Verpakovskis on the stroke of halftime.
		Baros had hung on to the ball too long after a fine crossfield break when he could have passed to the lurking Pavel Nedved on the right and lost it on the edge of the box.
		He then missed a sitter from two metres when Karel Poborsky’s right wing cross proved too high for Koller but fell to him at the far post.
