Vladimir Coufal - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.
