Euro 2012 – Matchday One – Dugout Discussion

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.

    Looking at the dream team it looks like recovered balls might be a big factor which is bullshit. Wonder who thought that one up.

      That's only because you're used to FPL. Besides, looking at the dream tema, they aren't.

    Surely you have to change captain with 6 points. Would you be happy with 6 points from a captain in FPL? Think about it, 3 more chances to get it right.
