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

I would agree with that

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?

Pronunciation sounds so similar without focus.
