One thing surprised me in the Czech Republic vs. Belarus match. Why were the same players taking the penalty shots as in the match against Russia? On the one hand, it's understandable; they seem to be the designated penalty shot takers. But on the other hand... Melezhko, both the first and second time, showed the most beautiful execution of the penalty shot, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. And Grobovsky, and I don't remember the second time, didn't offer the goalkeeper anything interesting, just a simple shot that didn't even require him to use a trap to save. In general, in my opinion, the coach acted foolishly because the missed penalty shots against Russia were still weighing on these players. And now, it seems to me, they have suffered a serious emotional trauma.
In the match against the Czechs, Andrei Kostitsyn, a player for the Montreal Canadiens, was the third player taking the penalty shot. He plays much better in his club, and I saw him execute a beautiful penalty shot there. I don't know how they could have disallowed the goal scored by the Czechs. I'm sure that if our team had scored such a goal, it wouldn't have been disallowed. And the referee for the video review was Slovak...
Regarding the country's name. I saw (again on television:) ) how one of the Russian channels called the country Belarus in a weather forecast. It was a long time ago, but the essence of it doesn't change. That's it. I won't argue about this anymore.
