bomma Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Czech Republic v Poland - 7.10pm (7.45KO) BBC1 Greece v Russia - 7.30pm (7.45KO) BBC3 v Poland, who need to beat Czech Republic to reach the knockout stage, have three injury worries ahead of their final Group A match. Defender Damien Perquis suffered a deep cut to his shin in the 1-1 draw against Russia, while midfielder Dariusz Dudka aggravated an abdominal strain. Eugen Polanski picked up a badly bruised knee and all three will be monitored before the game. Czech Republic captain Tomas Rosicky is a slight doubt with an Achilles injury. The Czechs also need a win to qualify, and knock Poland out, although a draw might also be enough. v Greek keeper Kostas Chalkias is out after injuring his hamstring against the Czechs, so Michalis Sifakis starts. Centre-back Avraam Papadopoulos is unlikely to play again this year, but Sokratis Papastathopoulos is available after a one-match suspension. Kostas Katsouranis is therfore likely to move back into the midfield. Russia appear to have a fully-fit starting XI, but Advocaat may consider replacing centre forward Aleksandr Kerzhakov with Roman Pavlyuchenko As it stands Russia - 4 Czech Republic - 3 Poland - 2 Greece - 1 What can happen: Russia - will be through with a draw, and could even afford a defeat by fewer than six goals if the other game finishes level. Only a win will guarantee them top spot, without depending on the outcome of the other game. Greece - will be through with a win, and out with a draw or loss. Czech Republic - will go through with a win. They could even afford to draw unless Greece beat Russia by at least five goals. Poland - will be through with a win, and out with a draw or loss.

Niebiescy Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 This is going to be awesome tonight. Not sure if British people realise but Czech Rep and Poland are massive rivals with a long history, just like Russia with both nations. CZ and PL border each other but are like different planets culturally. As a Polish fan I am not worried by the Czech team as they looked extremely mediocre, but more with my own team's lack of mental toughness vs Greece, which is a bad omen. Poland are stronger in nearly every position but lack tournament/big match experience. Going to be an extremely nervous evening. Think it's 50/50 on which team goes through. Wouldn't be shocked if Greece beat Russia either. Very strong, physical team, which is the the best style to beat Russia who are smaller and more technical. Wouldn't be shocked to see a crazy day where the group is turned upside down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
