Vladimir Coufal - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Eight crosses in loss Coufal registered one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat versus Mexico.

Impact Coufal logged another full shift at wing-back in Wednesday's 3-0 World Cup loss to Mexico, providing plenty of width going forward but unable to spark a Czech attack that failed to register a single shot through the opening 36 minutes. He finished with one shot, one chance created, two corners and eight crosses, though he was part of a side that desperately needed a win to keep its World Cup hopes alive before being undone by two second-half goals. Czechia's World Cup campaign comes to an end after a last-place finish in Group A.

Productive showing in South Africa tilt Coufal created five scoring chances and registered six crosses (four accurate), one tackle (one won) and four corners in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus South Africa.

Impact Coufal was the main offensive force for his team, leading it in both deliveries and key passes, launching six crosses for the second fixture in a row. He has also taken three or more corners in both contests. On the other hand, he was occasionally sloppy with his passes in the thick of it. He has also assisted once and tallied six chances created, five clearances and two interceptions so far.

Assists opener Thursday Coufal assisted once to go with six crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 2-1 loss against South Korea.

Impact Coufal helped open up the scoring Thursday as his cross assisted Ladislav Krejci's header in the 59th minute. Coufal was one of Czechia's primary creators from his position at right-wing back, dishing out six crosses and three corners on the attack. Besides the assist he wasn't all that effective though as he failed to record an accurate cross and only created the one chance that led to the goal. Next up for him is a must-win match versus South Africa on Thursday in Atlanta, a side that is clearly the worst-ranked team in the group and picked up two red cards in their opening match versus Mexico.

JUNE 12 • ROTOWIRE

Reliable wing-back for Czechia Coufal is expected to make consistent appearances as his national team's most advanced defender in a right wing-back role at the World Cup.

Impact Coufal has been one of Czechia's most regular performers during the qualifying rounds, playing nearly every available minute while contributing one goal and one assist across nine appearances. He also enjoyed a productive Bundesliga 2025/26 season with Hoffenheim, finishing second on the team with eight assists. His attacking involvement extends beyond overlapping runs, as he frequently delivers dangerous balls from indirect set pieces. That combination of playing time security and chance-creation ability gives him solid fantasy appeal from a defensive position. Still, his offensive contributions might be limited when facing tougher sides, and his long-term appeal will depend on whether his team can outperform such opposition in the knockout stages.
