"Some have criticised "Czechia" as ugly, or too similar to "Chechnya", the semi-autonomous Russian republic."

I would agree with that

great minds and all that
who cares anyway

Wow, changing your country's name to make it easier for companies and sports teams to use it on products and clothing is very sad. What a shit world.

Plenty of Czechs that I have known refer to the country as Czech in conversation. Not sure it is a problem really.

They need to sort their cuffing lives out, pissing everyone about with these CONSTANT name-changes.

Czechoslovakia. Then Czech Republic. Now this latest "Czechia" BOBBINS. Oh la-de-dah, bit bored with ENGLAND now. Lets change it to Englasia, or Englalalaland.

Pick a name and STICK to it, you eastern european, Nazi-surrendering no-marks.

This means the next time England play them, this will be their 4th name we've played against:
Czechia
Czech Rep.
Czechoslovakia
Bohemia

Why don't they just call themselves CeskaMoravia/CzechoMoravia?
