Dugout Discussion – Germany vs Ukraine

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.

    Only a few players that haven't grabbed any additional points for me. That said, I keep picking the wrong captains (Giroud over Payet, Djourou over Dier/dropping Schar, Muller).

    Guess I'll try my luck again tomorrow with KDB. If he fails, Alaba doesn't look an inspiring option... Might just go Patricio instead.

    Have no last game day player. Only can twist to de Bruyne, hazard or Morata.
