This is a watchlist, not a claim about confirmed takers or rehearsed routines.

Ranked Watchlist

01

System Control + Set Piece Aerial

Czechia

Czechia belongs here because their route to pressure could include restarts, aerial duels, or second balls. Their hook is simple: A rugged, late-qualifying Czech team built for set pieces, suffering and Schick's penalty-box moments. Expect system control, set piece aerial, high press themes, with Patrik Schick the easiest player entry point.
