Petr Cech has announced his relief to already have qualified for Euro 2008, while still hoping England can qualify for the tournament in Austria and Switzerland.
The Czech Republic confirmed their attendance at the tournament next summer with last month's 3-0 win in Germany, meaning the goalkeeper, who misses out due to injury this time around, can relax safe in the knowledge he will be on the plane in June.
'This is the positive when I look at the schedule. We have two weeks not for the club, of course I am disappointed I can't play for the national team, but having won qualification it's good for Czech football,' he said.
Cech misses his country's two final qualifiers against Slovakia and Cyprus, but will keep himself busy by following England's exploits as they try and achieve an unlikely qualification against Croatia on Wednesday.
Having played there twice already, and been present at the recent NFL game held there, it seems Cech cannot get enough of Wembley.
'I'm invited to go to the stadium, so I will go definitely to see the game,' he said.

'I hope there will still be a chance for England. England will play for their life and there will be more emotion. Even if Russia wins in Israel, there is still a chance, so England have to win.'
