Tomas Soucek

The Czech Republic''s box-to-box engine, a tall, relentless midfielder who chips in with crucial goals — especially in the air. Soucek covers enormous ground and is a nightmare to mark on corners. He gives the Czechs steel and a scoring threat from deep. For U.S. fans, he is the do-everything two-way player who also turns up as a surprise red-zone weapon on set plays — the big body crashing in for the score.
