Both teams looked awful in their first games, can see it being a draw.

On a slightly different note.  I read that the next Euro finals in France in 2016 will have 24 teams. 

6 groups of 4 with the top 2 going through to the last 16, accompanied by the 4 best 3rd place teams ..... Strikes me as being most odd!

One of the reasons I enjoy these championships is that the relatively small pool of teams is generally of a high quality shown by the games we have seen this tournament to date.  We will be left with a really long first stage at the end of which we will only have 8 teams on the plane home.

Wondering others opinions on this ....

Why try to fix something that isn't broken. I like it how it is at the minute, but it does mean that we get to watch more football in the domestic season has ended

4-2 Czech Republic and thank fuck Adrian Chiles isn't presenting this on ITV, I don't have to mute the pre match build up.

I think the czechs will win this one as they know that a draw won't be good enough and they won't want to be the first side knocked out of the euros.
2-0 to the czechs

I always loved this at the old World Cups.  Glad to see it back.

Some of the 'injuries' in this have been embarrassing, the karagounis one especially.

Bang on Donkey, the 86 and 90 world cups had some exciting last round of group matches as a potential third place team had to do well, as results in other groups affected their fate. Also means most teams can still qualify in last group matches, not many dead rubbers and extra knock out round!  Brilliant to see it back.

Without that mistake by cech i don't think Greece would have scored if they played all night! They have made he czechs look good

I was thinking the same thing. Karagounis was rolling around on the floor even when they were chasing a goal late on.
