by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 5:30:21 PM
Tyton by name Titan by nature!

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 5:30:44 PM
Tyton was a real Titan there with that penalty save

this is the third straight spot kick Greeks have failed to convert after missing two against Armenia in a friendly days ago

by Karolos 6/8/2012 5:31:34 PM
Dreadful penalty from the Greeks and coach drags a painful hand across his face. Says it all. The game stays 1-1 #soccer #Euro2012

by soccerLjungg via twitter 6/8/2012 5:32:33 PM
So how is this one going to end up? Can't see it finishing 1-1.

by Simon Evans via twitter 6/8/2012 5:32:54 PM
has there ever been a more dramatic first match in any tournament than this?

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 5:33:15 PM
screens here just showed Szczesny watching that saved penalty after his sending off and leaping with joy

by reuters_alexh 6/8/2012 5:33:20 PM

Poland might look back on this one for many years as their big missed opportunity. Failed to press on when they had the man advantage and paid the price.

by Warren 6/8/2012 5:49:45 PM
final score 1-1

by Karolos 6/8/2012 5:52:35 PM
Poland had it in the bag at halftime. Ref must answer some questions. Not a red and still not sure about the penalty.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 5:54:19 PM
So that was an amazingly eventuful first game. Russia v Czech coming up shortly. Teams to follow

that is the link to our live blog. After that mad first Euro 2012 game, get joining in!

by Mark Meadows via twitter 6/8/2012 6:02:52 PM
Greeks also had offside goal chalked off by the way in that game. More talking points than any game I can remember for a while

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:05:23 PM
so predictions for ths second Group A game? not that anyone would have predicted what just happened in Warsaw!

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:07:51 PM
Russia got to the semis in 2008. Could easily do it again. Czechs dont have the depth of talent of previous years but still a threat. 1-1 again?

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:08:28 PM
@sgevans missed defender Taye Taiwo talking QPR & AC Milan? Click here livestre.am only on @footworldwide pls help RT thx

But he missed...

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:21:13 PM

20 mins to kick off at Wroclaw for Russia v Czech Republic. Rain easing slightly

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:30:40 PM
a mini opening ceremony for the second game there. Very colourful. Shame about the rain. Now anthems

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:40:01 PM
Arshavin gets younger every year...

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:42:43 PM
We can see Hungarian, Scottish flags among the crowd. Everyone seemed to cheer the Russian anthem, which is odd given half the stadium is Czech and Polish...great tune but...

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:43:31 PM
Kicked off.

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:45:04 PM
Russians in red, Czechs in white

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:45:29 PM
which Arshavin will show up? The one who played well in the 3-0 friendly win over Italy or the one who 'disappeared' for Arsenal

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:46:22 PM
Remember we have assistants behind the goal. First time at a Euros

by Reuters Sports 6/8/2012 6:48:08 PM
awkward Russian clearance from a Czech corner. They have another one

Hubnik heads over from freekick for Czechs
