I guess this all shows how tight this group is, except for the Russiasns we suppose. Bad news for the Greeks then with Advocaat's men next up

Late Czech sub to slow things down.

Czechs taking time over this thrown in

by Reuters Sports 6/12/2012 5:48:41 PM
Time enough for a Greek miracle? Certainly better chance in Euro 2012 than in the euro zone ... But probably not in either.

Not a good game. Good start then not much

A happy trip back over the nearby border for the Czechs

So the Greeks can book their flights home, even with a game to play.

Group A very tasty now before Poland v Russia. Russia and Czechs with three points, Poland and Greece with one

by Reuters Sports 6/12/2012 6:03:54 PM

Russia have named an unchanged side while the co-hosts have made two changes from the side that opened the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Greece.
Poland coach Franciszek Smuda, criticised by Polish fans and media for not making any outfield substitutions against Greece, brought in defensive midfielder Dariusz Dudka for winger Maciej Rybus. Ludovic Obraniak switches to the left flank.
Przemyslaw Tyton starts in goal in place of the suspended Wojciech Szczesny.

Can't see anything other than a Russia win here....
