Petr Cech
Cech would have to be at the top of his game against Croatia

Another household name in world football, the Czech Republic custodian has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world in the past decade or so. The 34-year-old is a giant, standing at 1.96 metres.

His height added with superb technique and razor sharp reflexes made him an indispensable part of the Chelsea team that won every honour at club level at the start of this decade. Cech has been a permanent fixture in the Czech Republic goal, having nailed down the position since 2002.

Having represented his country 119 times since then, Cech will look to use all his experience to lead the Czech Republic to victory. His individual trophy cabinet is richly laden, with 4 EPL golden gloves, 8 times Czech player of the year and three UEFA club football’s best goalkeeper awards to his name.

Having won the competition at U21 level in 2002, Cech would want to taste success in the tournament at senior level too.
