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.

    Switch Giroud for KDB as captain or stick with the 10 pts?

      Switch imo, although I'm expecting 0-0 between Italy + Belgium

    Please may I have people's views on which of the following I should captain:

    (1) Alba
    (2) De Bruyne

    Whilst my standard approach is to captain a midfielder above a defender, in this instance, I'm tempted to captain Alba on the basis that I think he's got a good chance of a clean sheet and may grab an assist (or a goal if I'm very lucky). Also, De Bruyne is playing Italy who are likely to try to keep it tight. But then again, De Bruyne is quality.....

    What do people think?

    Quick question: Juanfran or Fabregas as captain?
    At this point I'll take 6pts (x2) from my captain.
    I have Alaba/Moutinho as possible captain if I dont succeed today.
