Slovakia really dominated this one in the early periods. They were pretty aggressive in going for it, and it paid off.
Stanislav Lobotka probably isn’t the most complete player in the world, but this tournament, with such poor pressing from most sides, has been perfect for a passing midfielder like him. I know some very smart football nerds have been banging the Lobotka drum for a long time, and we’ve seen why at this tournament. But from there, this was the Ukraine show. As you can see, Slovakia created most of their xG at 0-0. If the chart started after 18 minutes, it would look like Ukraine just steamrolled them. This was exactly the side people who follow Ukrainian football more closely than me said to expect. That said, since we’re here, I still don’t like Mykhailo Mudryk. He was doing a lot of stuff in this game, offering a lot of direct running and dribbles, and I’m still not seeing much of it help his team win football matches. He would’ve probably improved England against Denmark, honestly. But for glimpses, I just don’t see him ever becoming a top end player good enough for what Chelsea need. At least he’ll be happy with the result. The Blog Tags Widget will appear here on the published site.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has been seriously injured in a shooting, according to several Slovak media.
The incident took place in Handlová, about 150 kilometers from the capital Bratislava. According to the Slovak television station TA3, one suspect has been arrested. According to the television station, four shots were heard after a government meeting and the prime minister was hit in the abdomen by one bullet. The pro-Russian Fico has been prime minister since October last year. Before that, he was Prime Minister of Slovakia twice. He mainly sees Russia as a partner and this became clear in 2014 when he rejected EU sanctions against the country. Fico resigned in 2018 in the wake of the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak, who had linked corruption to Fico's government. Fico took office in October 2023, after serving two stints as prime minister from 2006 to 2010 and from 2012 to 2018. Fico immediately halted the previous government’s policy of military aid to Ukraine and called for a negotiated settlement between Moscow and Kiev. His neutral stance on the conflict has seen him clash with Brussels, and with pro-Western figures within Slovakia such as Caputova. The Blog Tags Widget will appear here on the published site.
