lestatdark-Portugal
The first match of Euro 2012 kicks off at 5.00 pm tomorrow GMT as the co-hosts Poland take on Greece, followed by Russia v. Czech Republic at 7.45 and I for one cannot WAIT for this tournament to start.
I was surprised to see there wasn't a thread for this already (although maybe there is and I missed it, but hey ho), so anyone interested please post here any thoughts, predictions, reaction etc.
Below is (hopefully) the schedule for the group stages. Notable highlights over the first few days are Germany - Portugal, Spain - Italy and England - France. And, what is sure to be everyone's most anticipated match, the big Ireland - Croatia game. Looking at it again, the quality of teams and matches really is phenomenal, not an easy game for any team in sight. Can't wait for Netherlands-Germany next Wednesday!
