Euro 2012 OTHER NATIONS THREAD (R)

87th minute. Score tied 1-1 between Greece and Poland

Poland threw away 3 points here

All week i've heard about how Poland would be the dark horse of this tournament. 1 man up, 1 goal up and they couldn't stop the mighty Greeks

Give Greece credit, they played very well in the 2nd half.

I didn't realize how bad Poland is defensively until you watch a game.

Greece should of scored 3 on Poland and Greece never score.

I only listened to the game but i'm happy with the result

You had to hear the hype job the "experts" were giving Poland

Russians giving it to the Czechs. The Czechs are just terrible defensively.

Damnit I had this game at a tie in my euro pool

Russia demolish the Czechs

I didn't see that game only listened to it. Are Russia that good, or was it because the Czechs are aweful?

I think Russia are the dark horse in this tournament and I also think Italy lost to a very prepared Russian team last week !!!

This is only day 1, im sure there will be many more dark horses arising. Im looking forward to watch portugal get pounded by germany.

I have money on portugal! They better win!

Money in the toilet betting on Portugal !!!

A Germany win doesn't pay

Perhaps we should feel better about losing 3-0 to the Russians after seeing the way they beat the Czechs, 4-1. They're an excellent counter-attacking team, with a great passing trio from Zenit. It also looks like 21 year-old Alan Dgaoev is going to become a star.

Two great matches today. I'm a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and hope he does well with Portugal.

There is crowd trouble already. Russian fans are causing violence wherever they go

Racist fans are still a worry.

Denmark up 1!

Let's see what Dutch plan B is. They have had lots of chances but poor finishing, while defense looks shaky. Think they might be able to turn it around by putting in Huntelaar.

Incredible result. This changes everything in this group!

Wow. Dutch lost their "easy" game -- now they have to get points off Germany and Portugal to qualify.

Germany edge Portugal 1-0. Not impressed with both teams. I think a draw would have been a fair result. For all his skill, Ronaldo was anonymous most of the game. Nani only started to play in the last 20 minutes.
