We conclude Sunday’s events with a floodlit clash between Germany and Ukraine in Group C.

Germany will undoubtedly be considered favourites to begin their campaign with a victory. However, question mark remains over Joachim Löw’s side in a number of positions and their form on arrival in France is far from convincing. Defeats to England and Slovakia in pre-tournament friendlies has raised doubts in the German camp.

Their opponents will head into the contest with some confidence. Ukraine have won nine of their last 13 outings, with victories in their last four. A 1-0 reverse at the hands of Spain has been their only setback in this impressive spell.

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

  12. Aarono23
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Those who went with the Kozacik/Patricio pairing (which I'm pretty sure is probably 80% of the people on this site), are you making the sub?

    1. Meimei
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would.

    2. Declan
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yup

      1. Aarono23
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Starting to doubt Portugal will be able to keep a clean sheet. I suppose the penalty of talking the risk is small though, unless Patricio gets himself sent off.

  13. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Germany line up looks bang average, not won a major tournament for two years ....Ukraine win.

  14. Forza

    At the UEFA EUROs and World Cups combined, Germany have lost just 1 of their 29 opening matches in those tournaments, winning 19 of those.

  25. Holy See

    When ducking from a horsewhip again, I think I shall wear a hat. A curious lesson to learn, but valuable nonetheless.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

    Has Low picked his nose yet?

  27. Bene_the_horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    So Ozil has constantly let me down FF this year. So what do I do in the Euros with the wealth of alternative options....Pick him and captain him....

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gotze is a good shout. Definitely getting him next week.

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You are blaming Ozil because you can't tell when hie is in and out of form ?

  28. FudgyBadger
    • 10 Years

    why is it him

  29. Bøwstring The Carp

        Predictive text is a mixed blessing . There are many on here that speak about types of milfs on a regular basis.

        1. George Sillett

          That may be down to Internet history though.
