Euro 2012 – Matchday One – Dugout Discussion

1,757 Comments
Share

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!

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Recall Doosra stating that Lewandowski was a red herring (or thereabouts). Nice one dude bet you have in your team but put others away with your kidology - cute

      my assistant refused to comment and when prompted - he simply replied in his speech bubble "your team is shite - do not log in again, as I am not going down with you"

      All because i refused to buy a Polish player.........childish little barsteward!!

    with greece down to 10 and looking poor a hattrick for lewand wouldn set him up for a good shot at the golden boot for anyone who put a few quid on him...4 or 5 goals has been enough the last few euros
