S03E07 The Night Czech Football Lost Its Mind

About this episode

This episode discusses a dark moment in Czech football history during the Prague derby, focusing on the violence and its implications for football culture in Czechia.

What should have been a night of celebration turned into one of the darkest moments in Czech football history. In this episode of Footglish , I break down the shocking scenes from the Prague derby — the pitch invasion, the violence, the flare attack, the abandonment of the match, and what it all says about football culture in Czechia. Was this simply crowd madness… or a complete failure of organisation, security, and leadership? And most importantly — what happens next?
