England takes Czech Republic?s place in EBSL Promotion Final

England will finally have the chance to fight for a Division A place next season in the Euro Beach Soccer League Promotion Final this week. The English team will occupy the space Czech Republic will not be able to fill due to several impediments that have prevented them to be in the continental greatest event, to be held in Lisbon (Portugal) this same weekend (August 26^th-29^th).

Just as the Czechs were, England will be placed in group A in this Promotion Final, together with Hungary and France, eighth team in Division A. Precisely the French are going to be the English’s first opponent, this Thursday, August 26^th (13:15 h). On Friday, England will face Hungary (13.15 h as well). Only the first place in the group merits the ticket for the Promotion Final, so the Three Lions cannot miss any chance if they want to take advantage of this opportunity.

Jones’ squad, after being sidelined from next summer’s world Cup in the European Qualifier, kept on working to improve their level, and after an excellent performance in The Crocs Challenge Cup held in The Hague, only the penalty shootout moved them away from the highest place of the podium in Sunderland three weeks ago. Although Mexico lifted the Cup in the Stadium of Light, England proved their determination is becoming a dangerous weapon on the sand, making them a rival to really care about.
