Should have at least got that on target!

Nuri Sahin

Lewandowski should have done much better.

Jimmy Iovine

Lewandowski should have done better there I thought.

Ade, what did you make of hamman saying Błaszczykowski will likely move to the premier league next season?

Reganio 2

Its all Russia and Poland so far.

markie29

Poland may regret these missed chances like they did in the first game.

Big time, they need to be more clinical in front of goal....

Didn't see what Didi said. But out of the BVB players linked with moves away from Dortmund, Kuba is the one who could be on his way out. Club wants to keep him though.

I wouldn't blame him for wanting to leave to a degree. Loves the club, loves the fans but wants first team football.

Nuri Sahin

Good strike and save.

Good seeing Polanski get forward too.

edit - thunder is nearby.

Thefirestarter

That was a beautiful strike.

Poland are posing the bigger threat, Czechs missing Rosicky big time here; Selassei is the only player with something to cause difficulties to the Polish defense.

klose

Poland play nice football so would like to see em go through however the czechs only need a draw, game needs a goal to get going.

Lewondowski looks like Gary cahill, my pointless observation of the day

Will I Amnt

Dzagoevs movement is so good.Almost always available for a pass and anticipates everything.

Brian Kerr again cracks me up; "some crack of thunder there, hope it's not followed by LIGHTNING"!!!!

kryogen

Russia really need to up the tempo if they are gonna get a goal, greece are quite happy to have this so slow and laboured, its up to the Russians to force this

No, man, I love his commentary.

Mr.Crinklewood

Nine minutes since an update. Game that poor?

G.K.

Polish CM sitting too deep. Either get Obraniak in the middle by putting on a winger, or bring Wolski on in the middle...

Nuri Sahin

Think Poland need to switch it up at some point and try something different. Play Kuba just behind Lewandowski and maybe go with a 3-5-2/1-1 formation.

You just copy and pasted that from your tweet on Twitter. I feel cheated :pac:.

swoody

greece just scored...................yeah!

steelcityblues

The Czechs are doing a solid job, to be fair.

kitakyushu

1-0 Greece. Oh yeah!

Reganio 2

Wow go on the Greeks... 1st shot Id say.

Nuri Sahin

Karagounis! 1-0

noodler

I don't envy the Russians needing to breakdown the Greeks who will be hanging on for dear life.

Shot count

Greece 2 (2) , Russia 13 (5)

They're facing a second half Greece team too, best of luck to Russia.

Greece. The kings of second halfs. Never can tell but I predict Russia to bottle it again like v Poland.

They over ran far too many attacks. I think the adrenaline and the occasion is a little problem for the Poles. They need to calm down a bit and just knock the ball around a bit more.

steelcityblues

Does Kerzhakov have incriminating photos of Advocaat?

xtal191

Do Greece finish top if it stays this way?

It istands

Russia 1st, Gre 2nd Czech 3rd (I think)

Charisteas

As things stand, Russia still win the group, Greece second.

Renn

This group confusing everyone

mike65

Well that was unexpected, the Greeks had a few early moments but never looked like posing a real threat, Russia very fluent and slick but not able to find their shooting range, then BANG one error and the table turned on its head. I can't believe the Ruskies won't find the goal at least once.

Fitness is a far bigger issue in the long term according to numerous sources and Lewandowski has said that himself before.

Kuba is capable of playing the killer ball, and has played there at times in the build up for the tournament.

kitakyushu

Ironically Russia were the only team that could beat Greece at Euro 2004.

Greece can only win the group if they beat Russia by 3 or more goals and other game is a draw. (I think!)

Benimar

Russia 1st at moment but if either Poland or Czech Republic win, Russia go out (assuming Greece hold on)!

average_runner

sure Russia is.top at the moment? how can they go out if Poland win?

Charisteas

Greece winning 1-0, backs to the wall defending, checking the clock every 30 seconds, been here before...........

cson

Kerr is hilarious to listen to. Sounds like an oul lad in a pub.

It would then finish Poland 5, Russia 4, Greece 4, Czech 3.
Greece would have winning h2h v Russia.

Russia win a 3 way tie with Greece & Czech Rep on goal difference, but lose a two way tie with Greece on head to head.

If Czechs or Poland win they top group and Greece beat Russia in a two way tie for runner up spot.

cson

Russian keeper was **** for that goal tbh.

Lapin

Any tv channel showing the Greece Russia game ?
