Euro 2012 – Matchday One – Dugout Discussion
Filed under: Euro 2012 - Posted by: Mark
We have lift off. Euro 2012 gets underway with co-hosts Poland taking on Greece for the early evening clash, before Russia face the Czech Republic in the late game in the same group. After weeks of speculation and tinkering, the Summer’s feast of football begins and we’re here to cover it kick by kick.
Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up any real-time banter.
The lineups are now in and, so far, they’re going according to plan in our predicted Group A starting XIs:
Poland:Szczesny; Piszczek, Perquis, Wasilewski, Boenisch; Polanski, Murawski; Blaszczykowski, Obraniak, Rybus; Lewandowski.
Greece: Chalkias; Torisidis, Avram Papadopoulos, Papastathopoulos, Holebas; Maniatis, Katsouranis, Karagounis; Ninis, Gekas, Samaras.
Good luck to one and all!

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Guys do u change your captain with the drop down menu or do u have to use a sub for it to be effective?!! Sorry for the lame question …
June 8 at 7:32 pm
djman102 says:
You can use the drop-down menu, but only after the next game. Check in 2 hours.
June 8 at 7:40 pm

June 8 at 7:31 pm
udit says:
That’s what I’m worried about
He did that even back in 2010, though in honesty he was injured, still he’s got some weird hoodoo again the Djoker.

chazza says:
I know, the Australian Open final was ridiculous but Djokovic hasn’t been supreme for once.

This is true, I would have been very happy if he lost vs Tsonga, damn Tsonga, blew it.
